An absorbent article including an absorbent chassis and a pair of back ears. The absorbent chassis includes a liquid impermeable outercover and an absorbent body disposed on said outercover. A least a portion of each back ear is substantially flush with the chassis back waist edge.

Absorbent article

A flexible packaging bags for containing and dispensing articles. More particularly, the present invention relates to a flexible packaging bag having a hanging element, permitting hanging of the bag after the bag has been initially opened.

Absorbent product stacker package

A package containing an article. The article includes a first article texture and a second article texture. The package includes a plastic packaging material having an outer surface. Further the first article texture and the second article texture are non-similar and at least a portion of the outer surface has a packaging texture that is a simulant of the first article texture and at least a portion of the outer surface has a packaging texture that is a simulant of the second article texture.

Absorbent article packaging

A method and apparatus for bonding and aperturing one or more fibrous webs including bonding at least one fibrous web in a bonding nip created by a rotatable bonding roll and a rotatable anvil roll and aperturing the at least one fibrous web in an aperturing nip created by a rotatable aperture roll and an anvil roll. The bonding roll has a plurality of protuberances extending from the peripheral bonding surface that define a bonding pattern and result in highly bonded regions within the fibrous web. The aperture roll has a plurality of projections extending from the peripheral aperture surface that define an aperturing pattern. The aperturing pattern substantially aligns with the bonding pattern thereby creating apertures within the highly bonded regions.

Multi-roll bonding and aperturing

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for tuning a microwave apparatus. The chamber volume of the microwave apparatus can be changed by moving a flexible portion of a flexible wall while a perimeter portion of the flexible wall remains fixed.

Tunable microwave apparatus

A method for forming a stabilized airlaid layer () can include an airforming of a substantially unbonded fibrous layer () which includes absorbent fibers and binder-fibers. The fibrous layer () is exposed to high-frequency electromagnetic energy during a distinctively short activation period to activate the binder-fibers to provide the stabilized, airlaid layer (). In a particular aspect the activation period can be not more than about 3 sec.
