  • Publication number: 20170290715
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The absorbent article may include a substantially laterally-extending separation element defining a visual front portion and a visual back portion on a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article. The liquid permeable topsheet may include a first zone in the visual front portion that includes a first geometric treatment and a second zone in the visual back portion that includes a second geometric treatment.

  • Publication number: 20170079849
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed, in part, to a taped absorbent article comprising a discrete chassis. The discrete chassis comprises a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. A discrete belt portion is joined to a portion of the discrete chassis. The discrete belt portion comprises a first substrate, a second substrate, and a plurality of elastic members positioned at least partially intermediate the first and second substrates. The discrete belt portion comprises three zones each comprising at least one of the plurality of elastic members. The three zones extend in a direction generally parallel to a lateral axis of the absorbent article. The three zones comprise a first zone positioned most proximal to the lateral axis, a third zone positioned most distal from the lateral axis, and a second zone positioned intermediate the first and second zone.

  • Publication number: 20160302977
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles and methods for assembling absorbent articles having a design including: a first graphic extending along a first component, a second graphic extending along a second component, and a discontinuous region separating the first graphic from the second graphic. The discontinuous region is configured to provide the appearance that the first and second graphics form a contiguous design while at the same time mitigating the need to precisely align the graphics on separated components to form a contiguous design during the assembly process.

  • Publication number: 20160302976
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles and methods for assembling absorbent articles having a design including: a first graphic printed on a first component and a second graphic printed on a second component. During the assembly process, the first and second components are combined to form a discontinuous region devoid of printing and separating the first graphic from the second graphic. The discontinuous region extends between an end edge of the first graphic and an end edge of the second graphic and defines an imaginary continuous extension of an established direction of the first graphic to the second graphic. Thus, the discontinuous region helps to provide the appearance that the first and second graphics form a contiguous design while at the same time mitigating the need to precisely align the graphics on separated components to form a contiguous design during the assembly process.
