20080217809 | Absorbent core for disposable absorbent article - A method of making an absorbent core for use in an absorbent article. The method comprising the steps of:
| 09-11-2008 |
20080221538 | Disposable absorbent article - An absorbent article that can be a sanitary napkin. The absorbent article comprises a topsheet joined to a backsheet and has an absorbent core material disposed therebetween, the absorbent core material being a fibrous absorbent material exhibiting on one side thereof discrete raised portions. The raised portions define a continuous network of channels, the channels defining a void region adjacent the topsheet of the sanitary napkin. | 09-11-2008 |
20080221539 | Absorbent core for disposable absorbent article - An absorbent core material for a disposable absorbent article and an article with at least one absorbent core material. The absorbent core material can be a fibrous airlaid nonwoven web comprising cellulosic fibers and having a first density, and having a plurality of discrete out-of-plane deformations, the out-of-plane deformations having a second density, wherein the second density is less than the first density. | 09-11-2008 |
20080262463 | Tampon having at least one physical discontinuity - A tampon having at least one physical discontinuity is provided. The physical discontinuity, or physical discontinuities, are located in the compressed absorbent member and may be made in the tampon pledget before the pledget is compressed into the absorbent member. The physical discontinuities partially isolate a portion, or portions, of the tampon from the rest of the tampon. The partial isolation of a portion of the tampon reduces the amount of menses absorbed by that portion, which could be transported to the rest of the tampon through wicking. The concentration of menses absorption in a portion allows that portion have a higher level of expansion than the rest of the tampon to prevent menses from leaking out of the vaginal opening. | 10-23-2008 |
20090105678 | TAMPON HAVING ZONED APERTURED OVERWRAP - Tampons having a zoned apertured overwrap. The tampons can include a compressed absorbent member having an insertion end, a withdrawal end, a longitudinal axis, and a body disposed between the insertion end and the withdrawal end. The body can have a perimeter disposed substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and an exterior surface. The tampons can further include an overwrap covering at least a portion of the exterior surface. The overwrap can have a first zone and a second zone, the first zone having a plurality of apertures of a first diameter and the second zone having a plurality of apertures of a second diameter. In addition, the first zone and the second zone can be spaced apart from one another. | 04-23-2009 |
20110174430 | ABSORBENT CORE FOR DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLE - A method of making an absorbent core for use in an absorbent article. The method comprising the steps of:
| 07-21-2011 |
20130304012 | DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLE - An absorbent article that can be a sanitary napkin. The absorbent article comprises a topsheet joined to a backsheet and has an absorbent core material disposed therebetween, the absorbent core material being a fibrous absorbent material exhibiting on one side thereof discrete raised portions. The raised portions define a continuous network of channels, the channels defining a void region adjacent the topsheet of the sanitary napkin. | 11-14-2013 |
20150257943 | SANITARY NAPKINS CAPABLE OF TAKING COMPLEX THREE-DIMENSIONAL SHAPE IN USE - A catamenial device. The device comprises a topsheet having a body facing surface, a backsheet joined to said topsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises three zones differing in stiffness, at least one of the zones comprising laterally-oriented portions where material from the core has been removed, the portions defining slots. | 09-17-2015 |
