A method for making a disposable absorbent article is provided. The method comprises the steps of providing a first nonwoven comprising synthetic fibers comprising aC/C ratio of about 1.0×10or greater, providing a second nonwoven comprising synthetic fibers comprising a comprising aC/C ratio of about 1.0×10or greater, converting the second nonwoven into a topsheet so that the topsheet comprises a Liquid Strike Through value of less than 4 seconds, and combining the first nonwoven and the topsheet with other absorbent article components to form a disposable absorbent article.

Absorbent article comprising a synthetic polymer derived from a renewable resource and methods of producing said article

An absorbent article is disclosed having a topsheet, a backsheet joined with the topsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, and a synthetic superabsorbent polymer derived from a first renewable resource via at least one intermediate compound, wherein said superabsorbent polymer exhibits a defined Saline Flow Conductivity value and Absorption Against Pressure value. Alternately, an absorbent article is disclosed having a synthetic polyolefin derived from a first renewable resource via at least one intermediate compound. The synthetic polyolefin exhibits defined performance characteristics making the polyolefin particularly useful in certain components of the absorbent article. Methods for making the aforementioned absorbent articles are also disclosed.

Disclosed are compositions, methods, and kits for treating conditions including; ameliorating side effects associated with compounds such as lipase inhibitors; gastrointestinal distress; fecal urgency; obesity; hyperlipidemia; diarrhea; reducing levels of toxic substances; reducing blood cholesterol levels; inducing satiety; effecting weight loss; effecting weight control; and treating, delaying onset and/or preventing Type II diabetes. One embodiment includes compositions for administration to an animal for stiffening lipophilic substances in the gastrointestinal tract. Such stiffening agents have a complete melting point of about 33&#xb0; C. or greater. Kits comprising the composition are also included. Methods of stiffening lipophilic substances present in the gastrointestinal tract of an animal are also provided. The methods comprise administering a composition comprising a safe and effective amount of a stiffening agent to an animal. The methods also comprise administering a composition comprising a safe and effective amount of a stiffening agent and a safe and effective amount of a lipase inhibitor to an animal.

Compositions, methods, and kits useful for the alleviation of gastrointestinal effects

An absorbent article having a distribution member comprising non-biopersistent inorganic vitreous microfibers. The microfibers have an average effective diameter between about 0.1 micron and about 6 microns and are arranged in a fibrous assembly having a basis weight between about 40 g/mand about 350 g/mand a density between about 0.04 g/mand about 0,25 g/m. In preferred embodiments, the fibrous assembly can vertically wick a 0.9% saline solution to a height of 5 cm in less than about 5 minutes.

Disposable absorbent articles comprising non-biopersistent inorganic vitreous microfibers

An absorbent article may comprise a topsheet, a backsheet joined with the topsheet, an absorbent core interposed between the topsheet and backsheet; and one or more article elements selected from the group consisting of an anal cuff, an elasticized topsheet, a fastening system, a leg cuff, a waist elastic feature, a side panel, an ear, and combinations thereof. The article elements may comprise a slow recovery stretch laminate exhibiting an unload force at 37&#xb0; C. of about 0.16 N/(g/m) or greater and a percent of initial strain after 15 seconds of recovery at 22&#xb0; C. of about 10% or greater.

Absorbent articles comprising a slow recovery stretch laminate

An absorbent article comprising at least one topsheet; a liquid impervious backsheet joined with the topsheet; an absorbent core interposed between the topsheet and backsheet; and a slow recovery elastomer. The slow recovery elastomer exhibits a normalized unload force at 37&#xb0; C. of greater than about 0.04N and at least about 20% post elongation strain at 22&#xb0; C. after 15 seconds of recovery.
