Abstract: A parcel of flat absorbent articles such as diapers placed into a stack and disposed into an encasement. When the encasement is in a closed state, the stack is folded. When the encasement is in at least a partially open state, one of the absorbent articles may be dispensed from the encasement.

Abstract: A variety of graphics on the absorbent article ears may provide several benefits. One benefit may be an increased interaction between the caregiver and the user. The graphic may become visible to the caregiver and user only after they have been fastened to the article. This provides a “surprise” aspect to which specific graphic may be on the ear.

Abstract: A package containing an article. The article includes a first article texture and a second article texture. The package includes a plastic packaging material having an outer surface. Further the first article texture and the second article texture are non-similar and at least a portion of the outer surface has a packaging texture that is a simulant of the first article texture and at least a portion of the outer surface has a packaging texture that is a simulant of the second article texture.

Abstract: Disposable garments having a first pair of positioning indicia and second pair of positioning indicia. The first pair of indicia located symmetrically about the longitudinal centerline, the second pair of indicia located substantially symmetrically about the longitudinal centerline. The first pair of indicia located closer to the longitudinal centerline than the second pair of indicia. The first pair of indicia has a length in a longitudinal direction. The second pair of indicia has a length in a longitudinal direction and the longitudinal length of the first pair of indicia is less than the longitudinal length of the second pair of indicia.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system that includes a package and a plurality of diapers that are within the package. The system further includes an appliqué that is within the package. The appliqué is adapted to be detachably adhered to each of the plurality of diapers in the system. The appliqué may initially be placed on one of the diapers and when the original diaper is discarded, the appliqué may then be transferred to another newly worn diaper in order to promote interaction between a child and the diapers that are used during multiple diaper changes. In some embodiments, the appliqué includes a first graphic and at least one of the diapers in the system includes a second graphic. The first graphic and the second graphic may form a third graphic when the appliqué is detachably adhered to an appropriate location on the diapers that include the second graphic.

Abstract: A disposable garment including a dual fastening system. The dual fastening system includes at least two first fasteners and at least two second fasteners, at least a portion of each second fastener being located in the front waist region and situated inboard from each longitudinal side edge of the front waist region, each second fastener being configured to engage at least a portion of the bodyfacing surface. Additionally, the bodyfacing surface comprises indicia in the rear waist region guiding a user fitting the disposable garment regarding the positioning of the second fasteners.

Abstract: A dual tensioning health support includes a support layer adapted to be at least partially wrapped about a body part; first and second elongated securing straps extending from opposite sides of the support layer adjacent a first common side of the support layer such that they can be simultaneously pulled away from each other in opposite directions without substantial twisting of the support layer; a first securing device for securing a distal end of the first elongated securing strap to the support layer after the first elongated securing strap has been wrapped at least partially about the body part; and a second securing device for securing a distal end of the second elongated securing strap to the support layer after the second elongated securing strap has been wrapped at least partially about the body part.

Abstract: A removable insole for insertion into footwear, includes a forefoot portion extending at least to metatarsals of a foot, the forefoot portion including a combination layer formed from a bottom layer of a resilient foam material which provides a shock absorption cushioning function, and a top layer of a slow recovery material which absorbs shear forces applied to the second layer at pressure points and spreads out the shear forces along the forefoot portion, the top layer being of substantially the same dimensions as the bottom layer and superposed therewith, the bottom and top layers having the same thickness and outer dimensions; a cupped heel portion formed by a relatively flat central portion and a sloped side wall; a mid-foot portion connecting together the forefoot portion and the heel portion, the mid-foot portion including a medial arch portion and being connected to the forefoot portion at the medial arch portion, the heel portion and mid-foot portion together being formed by a unitary layer of resili

Abstract: A full length insole for use with footwear, is formed by a first layer including a forefoot portion extending at least to metatarsals of a foot, a heel portion, a mid portion connecting together the forefoot portion and the heel portion, the mid portion including a medial arch portion, an upper surface extending along the forefoot, mid and heel portions on which a person stands, and a lower surface extending along the forefoot, mid and heel portions, the lower surface including a shallow recess, the first layer being made of a material of a first hardness; a force line insert secured in the recess and having a shape that follows a greatest area of force of the foot on the upper surface during a normal stride, the force line insert being made of a material of a second hardness which is less than the first hardness; a forefoot pillow formed as a raised area at the upper surface at the forefoot portion to provide additional cushioning thereat and shaped to conform to a pressure area of the foot so as to include
