  • Publication number: 20140163511
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet and comprising a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material. The core wrap comprises a first material and a second material. The first material forms a C-wrap at least partially around the second material. The absorbent material comprises at least 80% of superabsorbent polymers by weight of the absorbent material. The absorbent core comprises a channel substantially free of the superabsorbent polymers and at least partially oriented in a longitudinal direction of the article. The channel has an arcuate portion facing a longitudinal axis of the article. An angle between a tangent line of the arcuate portion and the longitudinal axis is greater than or equal to 20 degrees.

  • Publication number: 20140163506
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising an absorbent core enclosing an absorbent material comprising superabsorbent polymers. The absorbent core comprises a first channel and a second channel, both of which are substantially free of the superabsorbent polymers and are at least partially oriented in a longitudinal direction of the article. The first and second channels each have lateral widths taken parallel to a lateral axis. The absorbent core comprises a pocket that is substantially free of the superabsorbent polymers and that has a portion on a longitudinal axis of the article. The pocket has lateral widths taken parallel to the lateral axis. A profile of the sum of the lateral widths of the first and second channels and the lateral widths of the pocket over a longitudinal length of at least 50 mm taken along the longitudinal axis has two separate substantially constant portions.

  • Patent number: 8333746
    Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is disclosed including an inner part including a sheet of material having an inner side, an outer side opposite the inner side, a front waist region, and a rear waist region, wherein the front waist region is connected with the rear waist region to form a waist opening and two leg openings; an outer part including an absorbent material, the outer part being separate from the inner part and adapted to be worn over the outer side of the inner part such that the inner part can be worn independently of the outer part; and an opening in the sheet of material of the inner part for allowing bowel movement waste to pass through the opening so that the inner part cooperates with the outer part in use to collect and retain bowel movement waste between the inner and outer parts.

  • Publication number: 20080058752
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article that has a topsheet (30) with elastic components (40) and one or more openings (31) with longitudinal side edges (32) and a connecting edge (33a, b) in the back region (3), whereby the angel between a longitudinal side edge (32) and connecting edge (33) (angle ?) is from 80° to 105°, and preferably whereby the ratio of the length L to L?, as defined herein, is 0.55 or less, to reduce the risk of the presence of transverse wrinkles and subsequent leakage.

  • Publication number: 20070197992
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an absorbent article (e.g., a diaper or training pant) having a backsheet, an absorbent core and a topsheet provided with at least one opening adapted to receive fecal material. The article also includes a genital coversheet with one or more central longitudinal (partial) folds or fixed folds, which in use forms a pocket to cover the genitals, and which is positioned in, under or above part of the opening, such that a void space can be created between the genital coversheet and the absorbent core and such that a void space is present between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The present disclosure also relates to process for making pocket-shape genital coversheets for absorbent articles of the invention.
