Abstract: Absorbent articles including a wetness indicator are generally described. The wetness indicator of the present invention is configured to expand toward the skin of the wearer (i.e., in the z-direction of the absorbent article perpendicular to the plane of the absorbent article) upon contact with a liquid. However, the expansion of the wetness indicator is substantially limited to the z-direction. That is, the wetness indicator does not substantially expand in any direction parallel with the plane of the article (i.e., the x- and y-directions). As such, the wetness indicator does not significantly interfere with the absorbent capabilities of the absorbent article. Thus, the wetness indicator can be included within conventional absorbent articles without significantly sacrificing the absorbency characteristics of the article.

Abstract: An absorbent article that contains a substrate treated with a decolorizing composition that can discharge the color of bodily exudates is provided. More specifically, a boundary zone located at the periphery of the substrate is treated with the decolorizing composition. Thus, when the substrate is incorporated into an absorbent article, the decolorizing composition may help discharge color at the edges of the article where leakage is most likely to occur. An interior zone of the substrate, however, is left substantially untreated with the decolorizing composition. This enables a user to observe and inspect the bodily exudates for infection or other health related conditions, and also allows the decolorizing composition to be applied only to those portions of the substrate needed to achieve the desired effect so that the untreated zone can continue to fulfill its other functions.
