  • Publication number: 20200078233
    Abstract: An absorbent article having a body-facing surface, a first end region a second end region, a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet is described. The absorbent article being adapted for placement in an undergarment has a crotch portion disposed between the first end region and the second end region; a longitudinal centerline and a transverse centerline, the centerlines being perpendicular to one another in the plane of the absorbent article when in a flat-out configuration. The absorbent article is asymmetric about the transverse centerline and has a first functional enhancement indicator visible from the body-facing surface and provides visually and tactilely perceptible indication of the first end region. A second functional enhancement indicator perceptible from the body-facing surface providing visually and tactilely perceptible indication of a region of fluid entry in the absorbent article is also included.

  • Publication number: 20190380887
    Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.
