Abstract: The invention relates to a material structure for use in absorbent articles, and an absorbent article comprising such a material structure. The material structure (1) comprises a liquid-pervious cover layer (2), a liquid-impervious cover layer (3), and an absorbent structure (4, 4?) enclosed between the cover layers (2, 3). Thereby, the absorbent structure (4, 4?) comprises polylactide fibres or filaments, the properties of which contributing to a rapid acquisition of liquid through the liquid-pervious cover layer (2) for absorption into the absorbent structure (4, 4?) also when the material structure (1) is subjected to repeated wettings. The invention can advantageously be applied within the field of absorbent hygiene articles, such as different types of diapers and incontinence guards, sanitary napkins, pantyliners, and the like.

Abstract: An absorbent article, such as a diaper, a pants-type diaper, an incontinence protector or a pants-like sanitary napkin, having a front part, a rear part and an intermediate central part. The article includes an absorbent body enclosed between an inner, liquid-permeable sheet and a liquid-impermeable outer sheet, and fastener devices for releasably connecting side-portions of the front and rear parts. The fastener devices are made of a renewable material. The fastener devices are welded to at least one of the sheets of the article and the fastener devices and the sheets are made of a material having a glass transition temperature which lies between 50-60° C. and a melting point which lies between 140-180° C., preferably between 150-175° C.

Abstract: An absorbent product includes a liquid-permeable surface layer (2), a liquid-impermeable backing material (3) and an absorption body (4) enclosed between the surface layer (2) and the backing material (3). An attachment system has at least one tab (18) for detachable interaction with a landing zone (20) arranged on the front or rear portion of the product, the landing zone being designed as a strip with two long sides (26) and two short sides (25) which join the two long sides (26) together, and the landing zone (20) has a central inactive area (28) arranged centrally in the transverse direction on the landing zone, and two active areas (27) arranged one on each side of the central inactive area (28) so that the active areas extend in the transverse direction from the central inactive area (28) to the short sides (25) of the landing zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a material structure for use in absorbent articles, and an absorbent article comprising such a material structure. The material structure (1) comprises a liquid-pervious cover layer (2), a liquid-impervious cover layer (3), and an absorbent structure (4, 4′) enclosed between the cover layers (2, 3). Thereby, the absorbent structure (4, 4′) comprises polylactide fibres or filaments, the properties of which contributing to a rapid acquisition of liquid through the liquid-pervious cover layer (2) for absorption into the absorbent structure (4, 4′) also when the material structure (1) is subjected to repeated wettings. The invention can advantageously be applied within the field of absorbent hygiene articles, such as different types of diapers and incontinence guards, sanitary napkins, pantyliners, and the like.
