Abstract: A cosmetic product container and retention mechanism include a cup including a cup body and a ring and a cosmetic substance. The cup body has first and second ends and an inner sidewall forming a cup cavity. The inner sidewall includes a first positioning notch. The ring is at least partially disposed within the cup cavity adjacent to the first positioning notch and includes an inner ring surface and defines a ring cavity. The ring is constructed from a compressible material that is positionable in a first, expanded configuration and a second, compressed configuration. The cosmetic substance has first and second ends and an elongated body therebetween. At least a portion of the elongated body is disposed within the ring cavity. Upon disposing at least a portion of the cosmetic substance within the ring cavity, the ring is adapted to apply a retaining force thereto.

Abstract: A cosmetic product includes a cup and a cosmetic substance. The cup has a cup body including first and second ends and forming a cup cavity and a liner at least partially disposed within the cup cavity that includes first and second ends and an inner sidewall forming a liner cavity. The liner is constructed from a swellable material. The cosmetic substance has first and second ends and an elongated body therebetween. At least a portion of the elongated body is disposable within the liner cavity and contacts a portion of the inner sidewall. Upon disposing at least a portion of the cosmetic substance within the liner cavity, the liner is adapted to swell in a direction toward the cosmetic substance to apply a retaining force thereto.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a chassis. The chassis includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and at least one elastically elongatable panel joined to the chassis. The elastically elongatable panel includes a stretch laminate having layers that are joined by ultrasonic bonding. The stretch laminate has at least one cover layer and an elastomeric film attached to the cover layer. The elastomeric film has two surfaces and a skin on at least one of the surfaces. The stretch laminate includes at least one anchoring zone and at least one stretch zone. The stretch laminate may include activation stripes and/or a plurality of wrinkles.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes a chassis includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and at least one elastically elongatable panel joined to the chassis. The elastically elongatable panel includes an ultrasonically bonded stretch laminate. The stretch laminate includes a first nonwoven and a second nonwoven, and an elastomeric film sandwiched between the first and second nonwovens. The elastomeric film has two surfaces and a skin on at least one of the surfaces. The stretch laminate further incudes a zone that is unactivated. The laminate is elastically extensible in a stretch direction. The elastomeric film includes activation stripes.
