20130165898 | REFASTENABLE DISPOSABLE GARMENT HAVING A CURLED EDGE, AND PROCESS FOR MAKING SAME - A refastenable disposable garment defines a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, and comprises a first waist region contiguous with a first waist edge. The first waist region defines first and second side edges transversely spaced apart and defines first and second surfaces. The first waist region is elastomeric proximal both the first and second side edges. The garment can include a second waist region and a crotch region that interconnects the first and second waist regions. The garment comprises non-extensible, relatively rigid first and second fastening components attached to the first surface of the first waist region adjacent the first and second side edges, respectively. The first waist region defines first and second flange portions transversely outward of the first and second fastening components, respectively. Each flange portion is transversely curled toward the second surface. A process for making such an article is also disclosed. | 06-27-2013 |

The front panel includes a first side section, a second side section, and a middle section, wherein the front body panel is completely severed between the first side section and the middle section, and wherein the front body panel is completely severed between the second side section and the middle section. In addition, a pair of attachment members are secured to the side sections and releasably attached to the middle section. The pre-fastened adjustable pant-like disposable absorbent undergarment also includes a back body panel, and an absorbent assembly secured to said front and back body panels, and said front and back body panels being joined together by a pair of side seams to form a waist opening and a pair of leg openings. | 09-05-2013 |
20130231629 | ATTACHMENT MEMBER WITH COORDINATED GRAPHICS FOR DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES - An attachment member for use with absorbent articles is disclosed. The attachment member for a disposable absorbent article has a first side section securely attached to the disposable absorbent article, the first side having a first graphic. The attachment member has a second side releasably attached to the disposable article, the second side having a second graphic. In one embodiment, the first graphic has a first Pattern Complexity Value and the second graphic having a second Pattern Complexity Value. In another embodiment, the first graphic has a first color and the second graphic has a second color, and the first color and the second color are different. The change in appearance of the graphic on the attachment member allows for a user to more easily detect the presence of the releasable edge and allows for adjustment of the fit of the absorbent article. | 09-05-2013 |

20120165599 | Vaginal Insert Device Having a Support Portion with Plurality of Foldable Areas - Generally, a vaginal insert device used to treat urinary incontinence is disclosed. The vaginal insert device includes a support portion, a stabilizing portion, a removal device, and at least one fluid passageway extending though the support portion. The substantially cylindrical support portion has a distal end and a proximal end. In addition, the support portion has a plurality of foldable areas extending from the distal end to the proximal end. Desirably, the plurality of foldable areas helically curve as the plurality of foldable areas extend from the distal end to the proximal end. The largest outer circumference of the support portion has an insertion diameter when the plurality of foldable areas are compressed and foldable inward and an in-use diameter wherein the plurality of foldable areas are extended outward into a maximum in-use diameter position. Desirably, the in-use diameter is larger than the insertion diameter. | 06-28-2012 |
20120165601 | Vaginal Insert Device Having a Support Portion with Plurality of Struts - A vaginal insert device including a support portion, a stabilizing portion, a removal device, and at least one fluid passageway extending though the support portion is disclosed. The vaginal insert relaxes in the vagina to deliver outward compression force against the bladder neck via the anterior vaginal wall to assist prevention of urinary stress incontinence. The substantially cylindrical support portion has a distal end, a proximal end, and a hollow interior section with a plurality of struts extending from the distal end to the proximal end. Desirably, the plurality of struts helically curve as the plurality of struts extend from the distal end to the proximal end. The largest circumference of the support portion has an insertion diameter when the plurality of struts are twisted together and an in-use diameter wherein the plurality of struts are extended outward into a convex position larger than the insertion diameter. | 06-28-2012 |
20130230835 | Method for Simplifying the Donning of Refastenable Disposable Absorbent Articles - A method for simplified donning of a refastenable garment. The method includes configuring the article such that the first transverse side is open and such that the second transverse side is closed; thereafter positioning and fastening the first front and back side panels around a first leg; thereafter opening the second transverse side; thereafter positioning and fastening the second front and back side panels around a second leg; and thereafter drawing the article up into a wear position on the subject. Also disclosed is a method for simplifying the application of a refastenable garment that includes providing specific instructions to a user, such as via graphical images. Also disclosed is a package of refastenable garments, the package including secondary information for simplifying the application of a refastenable garment to a wearer. | 09-05-2013 |
