Abstract: A nonwoven material including at least two layers integrated into each other, for use as a body facing sheet in an absorbent article. The first layer includes spunlaid filaments and the second layer includes staple fibers. The staple fibers have a thickness ?1.5 dtex, and the filaments have a thickness ?2.5 dtex. Further, an absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, panty liner, incontinence protector or diaper can include the nonwoven material as a body facing sheet.

Abstract: A nonwoven fabric comprising at least 50% by weight microfibers having a fineness of 1.0 dtex or less and a length of at least 30 mm and having been combined by hydroentangling. The fabric is apertured by said hydroentangling, and has been carded before hydroentangling. The fabric may be used as a topsheet material on an absorbent article.

Abstract: A dispenser (11) for absorbent articles (14) containing adhesive coating on one side only, the articles being adhered in a longitudinal array to an elongate web (15) of release material. The dispenser has a housing including a device for supporting the package of absorbent articles. The housing (12) contains a device (16,17) for delivering absorbent articles from the package (13) of absorbent articles to an outlet (18) for absorbent articles in the housing, a device (19) for separating absorbent articles from the web of release material and a device (17) for storing the portion of web of release material, from which absorbent articles has been separated, the separating device being arranged in connection to the outlet. A roll (13) of absorbent articles (14) is used in such a dispenser.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing spunlace material in which there is formed a fibrous web by air-laying a layer of fibres of staple length on a forming wire and air-laying a layer of short fibres on top of the layer of staple fibres. According to the invention, the fibrous web is passed to an entangling wire 18 on which there is arranged at least one elongated element 17 whose diameter is much greater than the diameter of the wires 16 in the entangling wire 18, whereafter the fibrous web is entangled. The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the method, and to a spunlace material produced in accordance with the method.
