Abstract: A durable absorbent pant is disclosed. The pant includes an outer pant structure and a gusset assembly disposed at least partially in a crotch portion. The gusset assembly includes an absorbent layer, a barrier layer beneath the absorbent layer, and an edge barrier overlying portions of a wearer-facing surface of the gusset assembly along a perimeter edge of the gusset assembly, and effectively continuing over and around the perimeter edge to an outward-facing surface of the gusset assembly. The edge barrier may be formed of a liquid impermeable edge sealing strip material joined to the barrier layer, or, the edge barrier may be formed of an extension of the barrier layer. The gusset assembly may be affixed within the crotch portion by various disclosed mechanisms.

Abstract: An article including a front region, a back region, and a chassis. The chassis may include an absorbent core having a front end edge and a back end edge. The front region and the back region may extend laterally outward beyond side edges of the chassis. The front region and the back region may abut to form a first seam and a second seam. At least one of the front region and the back region may include an elastic member. A first outer nonwoven layer of the front region and a second outer nonwoven layer of the back region may be folded to form an upper edge in the front and back regions such that a distal end of each of the first and second outer nonwoven layer may be disposed between the upper edge and the front and back end edges of the absorbent core, respectively.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article including a chassis. The chassis includes a front region having two opposing longitudinal edges, a back region having two opposing longitudinal edges, and a crotch region having two longitudinal edges. The crotch region is disposed between said front and back regions, and at least two side panels extend outwardly from the two opposing longitudinal edges of one or both of the front or back regions. The side panels may interconnect the front and the back regions to form a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. The article exhibits a pre-application side panel length, Li, and a post-application side panel length, Lf, such that Li is less than Lf. The article may also include a plurality of graphics.

Abstract: An article may include a chassis including an absorbent core that may extend from the front region to the back region. The article may also include a front panel and a back panel extending laterally outward beyond side edges of the chassis.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent insert for a two-piece wearable absorbent article having features for the containment and absorption of bodily exudates. The insert may be adapted to be used with an outer cover and may have containment and absorption features including cuff structures that prevent soiling of the outer cover by the wearer's exudates, so that the outer cover may be reused after an exudation event and change of inserts. The insert may have features to enhance containment, absorption, economy of materials and/or fit that makes it asymmetric about its lateral axis, and may have features that direct a user to install the insert with correct front-rear orientation relative the outer cover and/or the wearer.

Abstract: A pull-on wearable article includes a main portion including an outer cover, the main portion defining a front waist region, a rear waist region, and a crotch region extending between and connecting the front and rear waist regions. First and second extendable side panels extend between and connect the main portion front waist region and the main portion rear waist region to form the article in a closed waist configuration, at least a portion of each side panel being extendable between a relaxed state and an extended state. The article defines first and second side regions, each side region including one of the first and second side panels and a transverse region of the main portion bordering the respective side panel. An informational image is disposed in at least the first side region. The article may further include a texture feature formed in an outer surface of the article and positioned proximate to the informational image to form a composite image.
