Abstract: The present invention relates to a layers layered absorbent element for use in a disposable absorbent article comprising a top layer and a bottom layer. The top layer is a fibrous nonwoven layer having a basis weight of from 20 to 100 gsm, a thickness from 0.25 to 5 mm, is formed with fibers having an average length from 26 to 200 mm and it has a fixed height saturation at 5 cm above 40%. The bottom layer is in direct contact with the top layer and comprises superabsorbent polymer (SAP) and cellulosic fibers. A plurality of fibers protruding from the bottom layer penetrate into the top layer.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprises a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the chassis having a body-facing surface and an outer-facing surface. The article also comprises a pair of side flaps comprising a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first adhesive. The side flaps have a proximal end and a free distal end wherein each distal end is foldable around an edge of an undergarment when applied on the undergarment during use to attach the first adhesive to the underside of the undergarment thereby attaching the absorbent article to the undergarment.

Abstract: An folded absorbent sanitary pad having a higher basis weight of superabsorbent polymer in correspondence with the folding lines which helps reducing the risk of side leakage.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising an odor control material comprising at least one inclusion complex of cyclodextrin with an organic compound which is dispersed in a matrix comprising a polysiloxane oil.

Abstract: An absorbent sanitary pad with side flaps having a higher basis weight of superabsorbent polymer in correspondence with the wings end points which helps reducing side leakage.

Abstract: An folded absorbent sanitary pad having a lower basis weight of superabsorbent polymer in correspondence with the folding lines which helps reducing the stiffness of the article caused by the folding lines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for making a layered absorbent element, for use in disposable absorbent articles, which comprises a top layer and a bottom layer. The method includes providing a fibrous nonwoven layer having a basis weight from about 20 gsm to about 100 gsm, and a thickness of from about 0.25 mm to about 5 mm, providing an air laid or a wet laid manufacturing line comprising a forming screen, placing said nonwoven layer onto said forming screen, forming onto the nonwoven layer an air laid or wet laid layer comprising fibers and superabsorbent polymers by depositing these materials onto the nonwoven layer using an air laid or wet laid process where the nonwoven layer acts as forming screen. The resulting material is then compressed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a color printed liquid permeable laminated structure comprising a first liquid permeable layer and a second liquid permeable layer, the first layer is color printed on at least one of its surfaces prior to being laminated to the second layer and stabilizing the laminated structure with a bonding means. These color printed laminated structures are particularly suitable for use in disposable absorbent articles for feminine protection, typically as so called ‘secondary’ topsheet in face to face relation with so called ‘primary’ topsheet, through which they are visible.

Abstract: An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and adapted to be worn in an undergarment having a crotch portion bounded on opposite sides by portions of curved leg openings. The absorbent article comprises a main body portion, the main body portion comprising a liquid pervious body-facing surface, a liquid impervious garment facing surface, and an absorbent core positioned between the body-facing surface and the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article comprises at least one indicator marker visible from the body-facing surface, the indicator markers disposed to indicate proper alignment of the absorbent article with respect to undergarment-specific features such as the curved leg openings.
