  • Patent number: 9029626
    Abstract: An absorbent article includes a first curved portion and a second curved portion formed on the surface of a topsheet along a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. The first curved portion is arranged in one pair to be symmetrical to a centerline of the absorbent article in a region in which the contact region is included, the region being an inside region more than each side part in a widthwise direction of the absorbent article, and is formed along a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. The second curved portion is arranged in one pair in a region in which the contact region is included, the region being an inside region in the widthwise direction of the absorbent article more than the first curved portion, and is formed along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. The first curved portion and the second curved portion has a convex shape outward in the widthwise direction of the absorbent article, in the region in which the contact region is included.

  • Patent number: 7994386
    Abstract: The present invention provides an absorbent article having superior surface characteristics and improved absorbing ability. The absorbent article of the present invention includes a liquid permeable top sheet 10 disposed at a skin-side, a liquid impermeable back sheet 20 disposed at a garment side, and an absorbent body interposed between the top sheet and the back sheet. An apparent thickness (t2) of the top sheet 10 is 70% to 95% to an apparent thickness (t1) of the panty liner 1. The absorbent body 30 consists of a structure, in which a capillary rise height (h2) is higher than a capillary rise height (h1) of the top sheet 10.
