Abstract: Embodiments relate to reusable absorbent inserts, assemblies, and methods for use, the inserts including a configurable pad and pad collection sleeve. The configurable pad includes a first section and a second section, the second section separated from the first section at least partially by a folding guide. The configurable pad has an unfolded pad plan surface area comprising an unfolded pad width when the reusable absorbent insert is in an unfolded, flat-out configuration. The pad collection sleeve has an unfolded sleeve plan surface area including an unfolded sleeve width when the reusable absorbent insert is in an unfolded, flat-out configuration. The unfolded pad width is greater than or substantially equal to the unfolded sleeve width.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core located in a chassis and including absorbent particulate polymer material defining at least one cavity. The absorbent core may be substantially cellulose free or comprise a combination of particulate absorbent polymer material and wood pulp. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprises an absorbent chassis and a belt. The absorbent chassis comprises an absorbent core, a first lateral end, a second lateral end, and a length in a longitudinal direction extending between the first lateral end and the second lateral end. The belt comprises a continuous ring of at least one material configured for wear around a waist of a wearer that is operatively engageable with the first lateral end and the second lateral end, wherein at least a portion of the continuous ring is expandable, wherein the absorbent chassis is disposable, and the belt is reusable with and re-attachable to one or more additional absorbent chassis.

Abstract: An absorbent insert for use with a reusable outer cover includes a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; and a leg gasketing system. The leg gasketing system includes at least one cuff having a folded edge and a material edge; wherein the material edge is disposed between layers that are each beneath the topsheet and/or is attached to a garment-facing surface of a layer disposed beneath the topsheet.

Abstract: An array of absorbent articles includes a first absorbent insert, a second absorbent insert and one or more reusable outer covers configured to support the first absorbent insert to form a first absorbent article and/or configured to support the second absorbent insert to form a second absorbent article. The first absorbent insert has a first capacity and a first dry mass and the second absorbent insert has a second capacity and a second dry mass. The second dry mass is no more than 15% greater than the first dry mass and the second absorbent capacity is at least 15% greater than the first absorbent capacity.

Abstract: An absorbent article includes an absorbent insert comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The backsheet comprising a nonwoven joined to a film and a backsheet film-to-nonwoven peel strength measured in N/cm in an engagement region. The absorbent article also includes an outer cover and a fastening system capable of joining the absorbent insert to the outer cover. In an engaged configuration, the article comprises an insert-outer cover peel strength measured in N/cm in the engagement region; and the backsheet film-to-nonwoven peel strength is greater than the insert-outer cover peel strength.

Abstract: A diaper outer cover includes a front lateral end (13) and a rear lateral end (19); a first longitudinal edge and a second longitudinal edge; and an adjustment system (400). The adjustment system has an adjustment strip (40) disposed in a leg gasketing system (52) or in a waist feature (50); and multiple engagement points (406). The adjustment system is selected from the group consisting of buckle mechanisms (420), snap mechanisms, lock and key mechanisms (426, 428), tying mechanisms (424), hook and loop mechanisms (405, 407), male and female mechanisms (412, 414) and combinations thereof.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material and a core wrap is provided. The article comprises an intermediate layer between the bottom side of the core wrap and the backsheet. The intermediate layer and the absorbent core are only partially bonded to each other at their interface and the interface comprises a bonded portion and a unbonded portion. The intermediate layer can at least partially decouple from the absorbent core in the unbonded portion, which increases flexibility of the article in the transversal direction.

Abstract: An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material and a core wrap is provided. The core comprises at least one channel-forming area that is substantially free of absorbent material. The absorbent article comprises a masking layer between the bottom side of the core wrap and the backsheet. The masking layer and the bottom side of the core wrap are only partially bonded to each other at their interface, the interface thus comprising a bonded portion and an unbonded portion, wherein the channel-forming area at least partially corresponds to the unbonded portion of the interface, so that when the absorbent material swells, the masking layer can decouple from the three-dimensional channels.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is provided having an absorbent core located in a chassis and including absorbent particulate polymer material defining at least one cavity. The absorbent core may be substantially cellulose free or comprise a combination of particulate absorbent polymer material and wood pulp. Methods for making such an absorbent core and corresponding disposable absorbent article are also disclosed.
