In an absorbent article having a multi-layer material having a front section, a back section and an intermediate section connecting the front section and the back section, wherein the multi-layer material includes a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent layer disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, a method for increasing the conformability and enhancing the fluid intake and distribution of the article in which at least one resilient fluid-filled chamber having at least one peristaltic element is inserted into the absorbent article into the absorbent layer or between at least a portion of the absorbent layer and the backsheet.

Method for enhancing fluid intake and distribution of an absorbent article

An absorbent article having a multi-layer material having a front section, a back section and an intermediate section connecting the front section and the back section, wherein the multi-layer material comprises a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent layer disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. At least one resilient fluid-filled chamber is disposed in the absorbent layer or between at least a portion of the absorbent layer and the backsheet. A body-fitting mechanism is provided which is activatable by application of a force to the resilient fluid-filled chamber.
