  • Patent number: 9439817
    Abstract: A water-disintegrable absorbent article adapted to be easily peeled off the wearer's undergarment after use. A pantiliner has a topsheet lying on a body side of the wearer, a backsheet and a liquid-absorbent body interposed between the top- and backsheets. The backsheet may be formed of a water-disintegrable fibrous nonwoven fabric of which the component fibers have an orientation extending in a longitudinal direction. On a non-body side, first adhesive regions adapted to be attached to the wearer's undergarment and second adhesive regions allocated on both outer sides in a transverse direction of the first adhesive regions so as to be spaced in the transverse direction from the first adhesive regions. The first adhesive regions include front first adhesive regions, rear first adhesive regions and central first adhesive regions allocated between the front and rear first adhesive regions spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction.

  • Patent number: 9375508
    Abstract: An absorber and an absorbent article which have excellent leak proof property during use and water disintegratability after disposal. The water disintegratable absorber includes a water disintegratable absorber layer and a water insoluble resin layer. The amount of water absorption of the water disintegratable absorber layer is 300 g/m2 or more and tear strength in the plan view direction of the water insoluble resin layer is 0.15 N/40 mm or less in a first direction as well as a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 9173787
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide an absorbent article that is resistant to twisting and flattening, and that is superior in terms of fluid absorption rate, fluid diffusibility, absorbed fluid retention volume and fluid retention. The absorbent article comprises a top sheet on the skin contact side, a back sheet on the non-skin contact side, and an absorbent body situated between the two sheets, wherein the absorbent body comprises a bulky absorbent sheet, and the bulky absorbent sheet comprises heat-expanding particles that are dispersed in the bulky absorbent sheet and have been expanded by heat.
