Fibrous structures containing solid additives, and more particularly, fibrous structures containing two regions that exhibit at least one common micro-CT intensive property that differs in value and wherein the common micro-CT intensive property transitions between the two regions and methods for making same are provided.

Fibrous structures comprising regions having different micro-CT intensive property values and associated transition slopes

Fibrous structures, for example pre-moistened fibrous structures, having a novel contact surface (micro protrusion surface) and methods for using the fibrous structures and making the fibrous structures are provided.

Fibrous structures having a contact surface

Fibrous structures containing filaments and solid additives, and more particularly to fibrous structures containing filaments and solid additives wherein the fibrous structure has three or more regions that exhibit different characteristics and/or properties and methods for making same, are provided.

Fibrous structures comprising three or more regions

An absorbent article having improved softness signals is disclosed. The article may include a topsheet or a backsheet including a nonwoven web. The web may have a basis weight of 30 gsm or less, may be formed of spunlaid fibers including polyolefin and up to 5 percent by weight TiO, and may be impressed with a pattern of bond impressions to a bond area percentage of at least 10 percent forming a pattern of bonded regions and raised regions. The web may have opacity of 42 or greater; have an average height difference between bonded regions and raised regions of at least 280 &#x3bc;m; be hydroengorged; and/or have a cross-machine direction tensile strength of 350 gf/cm. A nonwoven web manufactured to have a suitable combination of such features exhibits an enhanced appearance of softness, soft tactile feel and satisfactory mechanical attributes, while being relatively cost effective.

Absorbent article and components thereof having improved softness signals, and methods for manufacturing

An article having as a component a nonwoven material, which includes a layer of spunbond fibers. The fibers of the nonwoven material are made of a composition that includes a first polyolefin, a second polyolefin that is a propylene copolymer and is different from the first polyolefin and a softness enhancer additive. The layer of fibers also includes a plurality of calendering bonds with an aspect ratio of at least 2.5.

Article with soft nonwoven layer

An absorbent article having improved softness signals is disclosed. The article may include a topsheet or a backsheet including a nonwoven web. The web may have a basis weight of 30 gsm or less, may be formed of spunlaid fibers including polyolefin and up to 5 percent by weight TiO, and may be impressed with a pattern of bond impressions to a bond area percentage of at least 10 percent forming a pattern of bonded regions and raised regions. The web may have opacity of 42 or greater; have an average height difference between bonded regions and raised regions of at least 280 &#x3bc;m; be hydroengorged; and/or have a cross-direction tensile strength of 350 gf/cm. A nonwoven web manufactured to have a suitable combination of such features exhibits an enhanced appearance of softness, soft tactile feel and satisfactory mechanical attributes, while being relatively cost effective.
