Abstract: An absorbent article and method of making an absorbent article. The absorbent article has a first layer and a second layer in facing relationship with one another. The first layer has a first imparted colored region coincident with the longitudinal centerline. The second layer has a second imparted colored region laterally more extensive in a direction orthogonally away from the longitudinal centerline than the first imparted colored region. The second imparted colored region extends across the longitudinal centerline and has free ends. The absorbent article has a background region. The first imparted colored region and the second imparted colored region differ in color as compared to the background region.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a central colored region, an intermediate colored region, an outer colored region, and a background region. The intermediate colored region can be between the central colored region and the outer colored region. The intermediate colored region can substantially circumscribe the central colored region. The central colored region, intermediate colored region, and outer colored region differ in color from the background region.

Abstract: A nonwoven web having printed thereon a colorant and/or a composition providing a skin health benefit. The nonwoven web can be a three-dimensional, fluid pervious, polymeric web. The nonwoven web can comprise apertures. The apertures are defined in a first surface of the nonwoven web in a first plane of the nonwoven web, and extend in sidewall portions to a second surface in a second plane of the nonwoven web. A colorant or lotion composition can be deposited on at least a portion of the second surface of the nonwoven web.

Abstract: A method of making a web having a color signal visible and/or a composition providing a skin health benefit thereon. The method comprising the steps of: a. providing a three-dimensional, fluid pervious, polymeric web, the web comprising a pattern of interconnecting members, the interconnecting members defining apertures, the apertures being defined in a first surface of the web in a first plane of the web, and extending in sidewall portions to a second surface in a second plane of the web; b. providing a first colorant and/or composition providing a skin health benefit; c. providing a first means for depositing the first colorant onto the polymeric web; and d. depositing the first colorant and/or composition on the polymeric web, the colorant and/or composition being deposited substantially only on the second surface of the web.

Abstract: A liquid impervious seal for extensible absorbent articles for wearing in an undergarment, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, incontinence pads, and the like, is disclosed. The absorbent articles are typically formed from the following components: a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet joined to the topsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and backsheet. The components forming the absorbent article are held together by use of an extensible liquid impervious seal having a sinusoidal configuration.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for forming a sanitary napkin having a multi-segment core. Such a core is formed using a mold having a deposition cavity which is divided into cavity segments by at least one partition. Each partition can comprise a passageway for interconnecting adjacent cavity segments.
