Abstract: A disposable absorbent pant having a belt structure that encircles the wearer's waist, with front and rear belt portions, and a longitudinally channeled absorbent core structure, is disclosed. The channels are extended so as to underlie at least one of the front and rear belt portions, thereby providing added structural support to restrain the absorbent core and reduce the likelihood of undesirable bulging in the front and/or rear of the pant while it is worn, after the core has absorbed liquid and stiffened longitudinally as a result of the channeled structure.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline, a front region, a crotch region, and a back region. The absorbent article has a main portion, a side portion, and a waist portion. The waist portion has a belt portion that has a front belt portion having elastomeric material and a back belt portion having elastomeric material. The front belt portion has a first elastic section and a second elastic section, each section having force zones. The back belt portion has a third elastic section and a fourth elastic section, each section having force zones. The force zones in the portions alternate between a high force zone and a low force zone in at least one belt portion.

Abstract: An array of packages may comprise three or more different sizes of disposable absorbent articles. The Product Length-to-Waist Silhouette of an array of three or more absorbent articles may be from about 0.9 to about 1.1 or from about 0.5 to about 0.7.

Abstract: An array of packages comprising two or more different sizes of absorbent articles, the array comprising first, second, and third packages comprising first, second, and third absorbent articles having at least first and second sizes. The first, second, and third articles may have an insert length to rise ratio greater than 60%. And, the first, second, and third packages may comprise the same brand name and sub-brand name. And, the first, second, and third absorbent articles may have identical or substantially identical chassis.

Abstract: Absorbent articles that include elastics in multiple layers are disclosed herein.

Abstract: A sensor system for detecting a property of or within an absorbent article may comprise an absorbent article and a sensor. The absorbent article may comprise a garment-facing layer and an absorbent assembly. The sensor may be disposed in and/or on the absorbent article. The sensor may be separable from the absorbent article. The sensor may be configured to sense a change in condition within the absorbent article.

Abstract: A method of making a laminate for an absorbent article is provided. The laminate comprises elastic elements disposed at least partially intermediate two substrates. The first substrate has a primary fiber bond pattern formed therein and comprising a plurality of primary fiber bonds. The method comprises forming densified regions in the first substrate. A perimeter of each of the densified regions is larger than a perimeter of each of the primary fiber bonds. The densified regions together form a pattern of densified regions in the first substrate. The method comprises adhesively attaching the elastic elements to the first substrate, joining the second substrate to the first substrate or to some of the elastic elements, and forming a plurality of rugosities in the first substrate by allowing the elastic elements to at least partially contract. The frequency and amplitude ranges of the rugosities result from the pattern of the densified regions.

Abstract: Absorbent articles of the present disclosure may have Relaxed Product Waist Widths, Relaxed Product Hip Widths, and Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouettes as disclosed herein. And, arrays of the present disclosure may have Array Average Product Hip-to-Waist Silhouettes and Array Average Product Hip-to-Waist-to-Weight Ratio as disclosed herein.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an absorbent article that may comprise a main body graphic zone. A front belt portion and a back belt portion may each have a waist end region adjacent a waist opening, wherein front and back waist panels of an absorbent main body do not overlap with front or back waist end regions. The front and back belt portions may each have a leg end region adjacent the proximal edges. Left and right side panels of the front and back belt portions may each have a tummy belt region between the waist end region and the leg end region. And, the waist end region may have an opacity of at least 15 points greater than that of the tummy belt region.
