A method of making a cover material for an absorbent article including the steps of providing a fibrous nonwoven substrate, the substrate having a tortuousity value in the range of about 0.8 to about 3.0, applying a particulate skin care material to the substrate, the particulate skin care comprising a particulate material having a particle size in the range of about 1 micron to about 75 microns, and applying a compressive force to the substrate to impregnate the substrate with the particulate skin care material.

Method of making a cover material including a skin care composition

A thin, flexible absorbent structure comprising a flexible substrate and an aqueous liquid absorbing material disposed on said substrate, wherein said aqueous liquid absorbing material comprises a homogeneous mixture of a hot melt adhesive and an aqueous liquid absorbing polymer, wherein the aqueous liquid absorbing polymer is present in the mixture in an amount greater than 1% by weight of the mixture and the aqueous liquid absorbing structure has an absorbency greater than about 5 g/g, and a Gurley Stiffness less than about 400 mg and a caliper less than about 4 mm.

Flexible liquid absorbing structure

The invention features a device for applying a fluid composition to the skin, said device including (i) a reservoir containing said composition, said composition including at least one tensioning polymer and (ii) a skin-contactable surface having at least one opening, wherein said device is adapted such that said fluid composition may be extruded from such reservoir to said skin-contacting surface through said at least one openings.

Device for administering fluid compositions including tensioning polymers

A cover material for an absorbent article including a fibrous nonwoven substrate, the substrate having a tortuousity value in the range of about 0.8 to about 3.0, and a particulate skin care material including a particulate material having a particle size in the range of about 1 micron to about 75 microns.

Cover material for an absorbent article including a skin care composition and an absorbent article having a cover material including a skin care composition

The present invention features a method of treating atrophy of skin or mucosal tissue by administering to skin or mucosal tissue in need of such treatment a composition including a tensioning polymer, said method selected from the group consisting of thickening said skin or mucosal tissue, enhancing extracellular matrix production in said skin or mucosal tissue, and enhancing the barrier function of said skin or mucosal tissue.

Methods of treating skin and mucosal tissue atrophy using compositions including tensioning polymers

An absorbent article including an adhesive on a body-facing surface of the article for securing the article to the body, the adhesive having the following properties: G'/G&#x2032;&#x2267;4.5; and &#x2212;20&#xb0; C.&#x2266;Tg(&#xb0; C.)&#x2266;15&#xb0; C.

Sanitary napkin including body-facing adhesive

A sanitary napkin has a strip that extends rearwardly to reside in the intergluteal crevice. The pad fits snugly against the body without penetrating. Because the strip provides improved body contact, similar protection is achieved with a smaller pad, thus providing a discretion benefit to the wearer.

Sanitary napkin with intergluteal strip

The present invention relates to a method of applying a hot melt adhesive to an absorbent article, such that the article has low autoadhesion, yet maintains excellent attachment properties during use in a consumer's undergarments. This is achieved by selecting the rheological properties of the adhesive and the mechanical properties of the substrate being coated. The adhesive is directly applied to a backsheet layer outer surface, wherein the adhesive has a viscosity of less than about 10,000 centipoise at a temperature of about 130 to about 177 degrees Celsius. The backsheet layer has a tensile strength of at least 5 Newtons per 25 millimeter width of material.

Method for making an absorbent article having a low autoadhesion attachment means

A sanitary napkin having a front flap that adhesively attaches to the user's undergarment and a tail strip that extends rearwardly to reside in the user's intergluteal crevice. The pad thus fits more snugly against the body of the user. Further, because the strip provides improved body contact, similar protection is achieved with a smaller pad, thus providing a discretion.

The present invention provides an absorbent article having a silhouette that includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the second portion is in opposite relation to the first portion, and a pair of opposed longitudinally extending sides connecting the first portion to the second portion. The absorbent article also contains a layered portion with a substantially transparent cover layer that absorbs fluid, a substantially transparent backsheet layer, and an optional absorbent core, which may be substantially transparent. At least one flap may optionally extend laterally from a longitudinally extending side.

Discrete absorbent articles

The present invention is directed to a sanitary napkin having flaps folded onto the topsheet of the napkin and held in this position by a unitary bridging strip. Each of these flaps has an adhesive area that is used to attach the flap to the undergarment. A release strip covers each such adhesive area. These release strips and the bridging strip each contain a cohesive layer whereby a cohesive bond is formed between the bridging strip and each release strip thereby holding the flaps in their folded position.
