Aspects of the present disclosure relate to absorbent articles with front and back waist panels having different stretch characteristics. A first waist panel may be connected with a chassis and positioned in a first waist region, and a second waist panel may be connected with the chassis and positioned in a second waist region. In some configurations, the first waist panel may comprise a first structural feature that is not included in the second waist panel or may comprise a first structural feature is different from a second structural feature included in the second waist panel. As such, the first structural feature provides different stretch characteristics between the first waist panel and the second waist panel.

Absorbent articles including front and back waist panels with different stretch characteristics

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system and a waist gasketing element. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded outward to form the inner cuff folded edge. When tested by the Blowout Method Test as described herein, the disposable absorbent article has a Blowout Percent Leakage of less than about 9.0%.

Absorbent article with waist gasketing element and leg cuffs

A patterned apertured web is disclosed. The patterned apertured web includes a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 3% to about 30%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The patterned apertured web has a plurality of Interaperture Distances, according to the Aperture Test herein. The Interaperture Distances have a distribution having a median and a mean. The plurality of apertures include a first set of apertures defining a first shape and a second set of apertures defining a second shape.

Patterned apertured webs

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article includes a first waist region, a second waist region, and a fully removable fastening member configured to join a portion of the first waist region to the second waist region. The fastening member includes a first end region comprising a first end, a second end region comprising a second end, a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and in the first end region, and a second fastener on the first surface and in the second end region. The fastening member includes a grasp region either partially laterally outboard of the first fastener or laterally outboard of the first fastener in the first end region. The grasp region has a different physical property than a remainder of the fastening member.

Absorbent articles having fully removable fastening members

An absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; and a fastening system. The fastening system has a fastening component disposed on an article component. A plurality of layers overlap at least a portion of the fastening component in an overlapping region. The fastening component includes a first plurality of fastening elements integrally formed from a first set of layers and a second plurality of fastening elements integrally formed from a second set of layers.

Absorbent article with fastening system

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge, and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge, and the leg gasketing system further including a leg gasketing system pocket with an opening on an inboard longitudinal edge of the leg gasketing system pocket. The disposable absorbent article also includes at least one channel in the absorbent core.

Absorbent article with leg cuffs

An absorbent article has a first waist region, a second waist region, a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions; and a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The article also includes a primary fastening system and secondary fastening system. The primary fastening system has a primary fastening component disposed in the second waist region and a primary receiving component disposed in the first waist region and operatively engageable with the primary fastening component. The secondary fastening system includes a secondary fastening component disposed in the first waist region and a secondary receiving component disposed in the second waist region and operatively engageable with the secondary fastening component. The article further includes a decoupled zone disposed longitudinally inboard of the secondary fastening component.

Absorbent article having fastening system

Systems and methods for applying a volatized chemical treatment solution to a combustion chamber in a boiler system while the system is online. The method includes measuring a combustion parameter, determining in real time a dosage of the volatized chemical treatment solution based on the measured combustion parameter, and applying the volatized chemical treatment solution to the combustion chamber based on the determined dosage.

Systems and methods for online control of volatized chemical treatment solutions in boiler systems

A patterned apertured web is disclosed. The patterned apertured web includes a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 3% to about 30%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The patterned apertured web has a plurality of Interaperture Distances, according to the Aperture Test herein. The Interaperture Distances have a distribution having a median and a mean.

Biological digital imaging systems and methods are disclosed herein for analyzing pixel data of one or more digital images depicting absorbent articles or portions of absorbent articles. A digital image comprising pixel data is obtained depicting an absorbent article or a portion of an absorbent article, the digital image. An imaging application (app) analyzes the digital image to detect a biological feature depicted within the pixel data of the digital image of the absorbent article or the portion of the absorbent article. The imaging app generates an individual-specific biological prediction value corresponding to at least one of: (a) the absorbent article; (b) the portion of the absorbent article; or (c) an individual associated with the absorbent article or portion of the absorbent article. The individual-specific biological prediction value is based on the biological feature depicted within the pixel data of the digital image of the absorbent article or the portion of the absorbent article.

Digital imaging analysis of biological features detected in physical mediums

Absorbent articles herein may provide a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core may comprise at least one channel having a shape. The backsheet graphics may substantially match the shape.

Absorbent articles with channels and signals

A disposable absorbent article may include a chassis that includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and a leg gasketing system and a waist gasketing element. The leg gasketing system may include an inner cuff and an outer cuff; the inner cuff may include an inner cuff folded edge and an inner cuff material edge and the outer cuff may include an outer cuff folded edge and an outer cuff material edge such that the web of material is folded laterally inward to form the outer cuff folded edge and folded laterally outward to form the inner cuff folded edge.
