Abstract: Diapers adapted for use in the collection of stool samples from infants are disclosed. Such diapers may include a backsheet comprising an effectively liquid impermeable material, a liquid control structure disposed over the backsheet, and a pass-through port disposed at least partially in the rear portion of the diaper. The diaper may include other features adapted to contain exudates, isolate urine from fecal material following discharge, avoid absorption of liquid components of fecal material and enhance likelihood of collecting a fecal sample that is sufficiently representative of its composition immediately following discharge.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to taped and pant articles comprising substantially identical chassis.

Abstract: A disposable diaper product useful for collecting a urine sample from an infant is disclosed. In one example the product may have a liquid control structure overlying a liquid impermeable backsheet, with a plan surface area defining a volume coextensive therewith, wherein a portion of the volume defined by at least 50 percent of the plan surface area contains no more than 50 percent by weight absorbent material. In another example the product may have a liquid control structure overlying a liquid impermeable backsheet, and have an average Liquid Release Ratio of at least 3 percent. A method for collecting a urine sample from an infant is also disclosed, in which a diaper is used for collection.

Abstract: A diaper configured for collection of a stool sample for an infant, and an associated method for collection, are disclosed. The diaper may include a backsheet including an effectively urine- and feces-impermeable material; a transverse perineal barrier including an effectively urine- and feces-impermeable material and having a proximal portion overlying the backsheet and sealingly connected to the diaper, and a free distal edge; and a liquid control structure disposed over the backsheet. The diaper may include additional features configured to receive a discharge of urine, isolate fecal material from urine, and facilitate collection of an intact stool sample following elimination.

Abstract: Configurable absorbent articles with improved bodily exudate separation and sampling are provided.

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: Absorbent articles of the disclosure may comprise front and back belts, first and second fastening tab members comprising first and second hook-type fastening elements, and laterally opposing permanent side seams directly joining the front or back belt belts to the fastening tab members. The fastening tab members may be joined to the first and second hook-type fastening elements, which may be refastenably joined to an interior surface of the front or back belts. The fastening tab members and the permanent side seams may be disposed between the first and second belts. And, the absorbent article may be packaged in refastenably closed form.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to taped and pant articles comprising substantially identical chassis.
