Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed. The absorbent article has a longitudinal centerline, a transverse centerline generally perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline, a wearer-facing surface and an opposing garment-facing surface, a front end region, an opposing back end region, and a central region disposed between the front end region and the back end region. The absorbent article further includes a topsheet; a backsheet; an absorbent system disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a plurality of pre-formed adhesive portions disposed on the garment-facing surface. The absorbent article exhibits a peel force of at least 1.0 N in accordance with the Peel Force test and leaves no residue in accordance with the Adhesive Residue test method.

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 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: A method for analyzing the comfort of an actual product on an actual body by use of a virtual product model and virtual body model to calculate a comfort indicator. The method comprises the steps of: (a) providing a virtual body model; (b) providing a virtual product model; (c) providing virtual simulation software; (d) gathering data from actual users of an actual product of a type modeled by the virtual product model; (e) running a virtual simulation for the virtual product model worn on the virtual body model; (f) running a virtual simulation for the virtual body model in the absence of the virtual product model; (g) calculating a difference in deformation on the virtual body model between the virtual simulations; and (h) correlating the calculated difference to the gathered data to determine a magnitude difference, the magnitude difference being the comfort indicator.

Abstract: A method of quantitatively analyzing results of a model. At least one image of a model is generated in a post-processor. A calibration mechanism of known dimensions is generated in the post-processor. The calibration mechanism is read into an analysis software. The image is read into the analysis software. The image from the post-processor is analyzed in the analysis software quantitatively using the calibration mechanism.
