Abstract: A carded calendered nonwoven comprising synthetic staple fibers. The synthetic staple fibers comprise a polypropylene polymer matrix, an ethylene-propylene copolymer and a fatty acid amide. The nonwovens of the present disclosure may be used in application where a soft and affordable nonwoven is desired, for example disposable absorbent articles, such as pants or diapers.

Abstract: An absorbent article such as a diaper comprising as component a carded calendered nonwoven comprising synthetic staple fibers, wherein the synthetic staple fibers comprise a polypropylene polymer matrix, an ethylene-propylene copolymer and a fatty acid amide, and optionally natural fibers. The nonwovens may be used in application where a soft and affordable nonwoven is desired, for example in the topsheet or backsheet outer cover nonwoven.

Abstract: An absorbent article is provided, the absorbent article comprising a nonwoven material. The nonwoven material comprises core/sheath bicomponent fibers wherein the core is formed of PET resin. The present disclosure also provides a wipe comprising a nonwoven material, the nonwoven material comprising core/sheath bicomponent fibers wherein the core is formed of PET resin. The PET has less than 150 ppm of antimony.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed at least partially between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a wetness indicating composition is provided. The wetness indicating composition includes a colorant and a colorant fastener. The colorant has a first color state, wherein the first color state is associated with a first state of the wetness indicating composition. The colorant has a second, different color state, wherein the second color state is associated with a second state of the wetness indicating composition. The wetness indicating composition is disposed on the absorbent article in a plurality of discrete graphics, wherein each of the plurality of discrete graphics has an area of between about 0.02 cm2 and about 25 cm2.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles having a waist gasketing element, with the gasketing element having an adhesive zone and one or more adhesive-free zones. At least a portion of the waist gasketing element is adhesively attached to a chassis of the absorbent article. Additionally, a portion of the waist gasketing element is mechanically attached to a portion of the absorbent article. The bio-based content of the absorbent article is from about 5% to about 100% using ASTM D6866-10, method B.

Abstract: An absorbent article such as a diaper comprising an acquisition layer with one or more longitudinally-extending stretch openings is provided. The stretch openings may be obtained by slitting and stretching an acquisition layer material. The topsheet forms recesses at the wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article as it folds inside the stretch openings. The stretch openings may provide a three dimensional profile on the wearer-facing side of the absorbent article in a simple and cost effective manner.

Abstract: A unitary storage layer for an absorbent article, being formed by at least two sub-layers in which a first outermost sub-layer forms said first surface and includes cellulose pulp fibers and cross linked cellulose fibers and includes less than 5% of SAP by weight of the sub-layer, and a second sub layer which includes cellulose pulp fibers and SAP and is immediately adjacent to said first sub-layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising a nonwoven material, the nonwoven material comprising PET resin having less than 150 ppm of antimony. One or more layers of cover materials are covering the nonwoven material both on the wearer-facing surface and on the garment-facing surface, such that the nonwoven material does not form a wearer-facing or garment-facing surface of the absorbent article.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a front side, a back side, a longitudinal axis notionally extending in a longitudinal direction from the middle of the front side to the middle of the back side. The absorbent article has a length L measured along the longitudinal axis. The absorbent article comprises a liquid permeable topsheet on the wearer-facing side, a liquid impermeable backsheet on the garment-facing side, an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet, and an acquisition layer comprising two or more discrete longitudinally-orientated stripes of an acquisition material between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The topsheet forms recesses at the surface of the absorbent article in the gaps between the stripes.
