This disclosure includes ice packs () that comprise paper and absorbent material (A,), and also includes various methods of adding liquid to, freezing, shipping, and/or using such ice packs (). Some of the ice packs () of this disclosure have a body () that includes first and second layers () of paper and one or more side panels (A) coupled thereto such that the body () is expandable. The absorbent material (A,) of some of the ice packs () of this disclosure comprises a laminate having an inner layer (A,B,C,) of superabsorbent polymer disposed between first and second outer layers (), where the first outer layer () comprises tissue and the second outer layer () comprises at least one of a tissue and a carded nonwoven.

Expandable and/or disposable ice pack

Disposable absorbent articles comprising absorbent cores are presented. In one embodiment, an absorbent core may comprise a riffled substrate comprising a plurality of peaks and a plurality of troughs, a flat substrate coupled to the riffled substrate, and superabsorbent polymer disposed between the riffled substrate and the flat substrate, wherein the footprint of the riffled substrate is substantially the same as the footprint of the flat substrate, and wherein the surface area of the riffled substrate is greater than the surface area of the flat substrate.

Absorbent articles with pulpless riffled core

An elastic absorbent assembly is presented for use in manufacturing disposable absorbent garments. The elastic assembly includes an absorbent core comprising: a base layer having a pair of side edges and a longitudinal centerline spaced inwardly from the side edges; an elastic construction supported by the base layer, the elastic construction including a plurality of spaced apart elastic elements forming a plurality of channels and a plurality of cells; and superabsorbent polymer particles coupled to the elastic elements.
