  • Convertible diaper/pant with ease of application
    Patent number: 8206366
    Abstract: A pant-like, prefastened, disposable absorbent article having two leg openings which are directly below and visible through a waist opening. The waist opening has a relaxed waist opening measurement or relaxed waist diameter that is greater than a width of a chassis of the absorbent article in a crotch region. As such, the wearer's legs are positioned within and through the leg openings for easy application of the pant-like prefastened, disposable absorbent article. After initial application of the absorbent article, a waist size adjustment feature allows the waist perimeter dimension to be adjusted to conform the waist opening to the waist of the wearer.

  • Convertible prefastened diaper/pant with reduced leakage when applied as a pant
    Publication number: 20020165518
    Abstract: A convertible pant-like, prefastened, disposable absorbent article having a back waist region and a front waist region forming a waist opening and two leg regions each forming a leg opening. A ratio of an elastic tension of the back waist region to an elastic tension of each of the leg region is at least about 0.6. Thus, the convertible pant-like, prefastened disposable absorbent article of the present invention is effective in reducing undesired leakage when it is applied to the wearer in a manner similar to a conventional training pant rather than a conventional diaper article.

  • Facial tissue with reduced moisture penetration
    Patent number: 6027611
    Abstract: Facial tissue is rendered resistant to water penetration while retaining softness by treating the fibers with a sizing agent prior to forming the sheet, or topically after the sheet is formed. The resulting tissue prevents the user's hands from becoming wetted during nose care.
