Absorbent product having a liquid permeable surface and a liquid impermeable opposite surface, the absorbent product including an odor control material, the odor control material including a carrier material and a plurality of odor control particles adhered to the carrier material. The carrier material has a first surface located towards the liquid permeable surface of the absorbent product and a second opposite surface located towards the liquid impermeable surface of the absorbent product. The plurality of odor control particles are bonded to the second surface of the carrier material with a water soluble binder substance wherein the binder substance at least partly dissolves when in contact with an aqueous solution.

Absorbent product comprising an odor control material

A urine sampling device including: a transparent sheet including two layers, namely, a urine sampling layer and a support layer, wherein the urine sampling layer has liquid receiving and retaining properties by means of capillary forces and/or diffusion, and the device is arranged such that it can be positioned on the body side of an hygiene absorbent product. Also, a urine sampling arrangement and a urine sampling system, including the device. And, a hygiene absorbent product including the device, and a method for using the device.

Fluid sampling device and method for sampling

An absorbent article includes a breathable backsheet material layer. At least a part of the layer includes a polymeric material exhibiting a discontinuous change in free volume in response to any of the following conditions or variables: liquid contact, the presence of certain ions, temperature and/or pH. One example of such polymeric materials is side chain liquid crystalline polymers which are able to undergo a phase transition between an isotropic phase and a nematic phase. The discontinuous change in free volume involves an abrupt change of the permeability of the breathable material layer.

Absorbent article containing a breathable material layer

An absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin, panty liner, tampon, diaper, pant diaper, adult incontinence guard, containing a bacterial composition () in a lipid phase (), the bacterial composition containing at least one lactic acid producing bacterial strain. The lipid phase () containing said bacterial composition () is applied on or in a carrier member () which at least before use of the article is impermeable to the lipid phase. The carrier member is located on a wearer facing side of the absorbent structure () so as to prevent significant transfer of the lipid phase into the absorbent structure.

Absorbent article

A fiber, film or foam includes a plasticizer and a charged claylinked gel (A). The charged claylinked gel (A) includes clay nanoparticles (C) which are crosslinked by a charged polymer (A') such that any particular clay nanoparticle is linked to at least one other clay nanoparticle by the charged polymer (A&#x2032;). Methods for producing the fibers, film and foam are also provided.

An absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin, panty liner, incontinence protector, diaper, includes an absorbent structure () with a first and a second side, a moisture sensitive additive (), such as a bacterial composition, and a carrier member (). The carrier member () includes a first and a second water-vapor impermeable material layer (), the material layers are sealed together by a sealing () to form a water-vapor impermeable volume () there between holding the moisture sensitive additive (). The carrier member () is located on the first or the second side of the absorbent structure ().

A disposable sensoring absorbent structure for detecting wetness comprises at least one absorbent layer and at least one sensing device comprising a magnetoelastic film. Such an absorbent structure enables the monitoring the status, e.g., wetness and/or at least one biological and/or chemical analyte, in an absorbent article. A change in status, such as wetness, may reflect an event, such as urination or a feces event. Also included are methods for detecting wetness and/or at least one biological and/or at least one chemical analyte, using the sensoring absorbent structure according to an embodiment of the invention.

Sensoring absorbing article

An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner or a female incontinence napkin, is intended to be carried in the crotch part of the wearer inside her underwear, has a generally elongate shape and includes two long sides, two short sides, two end-portions, a center portion located between the end-portions, a liquid-permeable casing sheet that is intended to lie proximal to the wearer's body in use, a liquid-impermeable casing sheet that is intended to lie distal form the wearer's body in use, and further includes between the layers, as seen in a direction from the liquid-permeable casing sheet towards the liquid-impermeable casing sheet, a drainage layer, an absorption layer, and a hump-forming element which forms together with the drainage layer and the absorption layer a hump that projects out from the plane of the napkin on that side of the napkin which is intended to lie proximal to the wearer in the use. In one embodiment, at least one cut is made through the drainage sheet and the absorption layer, and the hump-forming element is pushed up through these layers.

Absorbent articles with improved leakage safety

An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, or a protector from female incontinence, is intended for wear in the crotch region of the wearer inside her underclothes. The article is generally elongate in shape and has two long sides, two short sides, two end-portions, a center portion disposed between the end-portions, a liquid-permeable casing sheet intended to lie proximal to the wearer's body in use, a liquid-impermeable casing sheet intended to lie distal from the wearer's body in use, and between the layers in a direction from the liquid-permeable casing sheet and towards the liquid-impermeable casing sheet a drainage layer, an absorption layer, and a hump-forming element which together with the drainage layer and the absorption layer forms a hump which projects out from the plane of the napkin on that side of the napkin which is intended to lie proximal to the wearer in use. At least one cut is made through the drainage layer and the absorption layer, and the hump-forming element is protruded up through the layers.
