Absorbent article with extensible ears

Disclosed is an absorbent article comprising a core chassis and a leg gasketing system comprising a pair of wearer facing cuff regions comprising an inner cuff sealing and inner cuff free edge positioned inward from the inner cuff sealing, wherein the inner cuff sealing bonds the cuff material and a topsheet, and an inner cuff elastic element is disposed adjacent the inner cuff free edge; a pair of garment facing cuff regions formed by inwardly extending the cuff material over a garment facing side of the core chassis, and a pair of outer cuff elastic elements disposed on wearer facing cuff regions or garment facing cuff regions; and wherein the absorbent article has a Worn Leg Opening (WLO) of from about 300 mm to about 450 mm, a Minimum Leg Opening (MLO) of from about 225 mm to about 300 mm, and a ratio of WLO/MLO of from about 1.5 to about 1.7.

Absorbent article with leg gasketing system

The invention relates to a wearable article comprising an elastic laminate. The elastic laminate comprises a first web and a second web being in a face to face relationship with each other. The first web is a nonwoven web having a vertical wicking height after 60 seconds of less than 5 mm according to the test method set out herein. The second web is a nonwoven web having a vertical wicking height after 60 seconds of at least 5 mm.

Wearable article comprising an elastic laminate having good wicking properties

Disclosed is a wearable article comprising a main body and a ring-like elastic belt comprising an outer cover layer, a backsheet, a front belt artwork region; and a back belt artwork region; and wherein one or both of the front and back belt artwork regions comprises a belt artwork; a transitional region on the front waist panel and the back waist panel where the outer cover layer exists; and a crotch artwork region on the crotch panel comprising a crotch artwork; wherein at least some of the belt artwork and some of the crotch artwork are printed on the backsheet, wherein when the opacity of the outer cover layer is OC and the opacity of one or both of the front belt and the back belt comprising the belt artwork is OB, respectively, the difference between OC and OB is less than about 20%.

Wearable article having artwork

Disclosed is a wearable article comprising a main body and a ring-like elastic belt comprising a front belt and a back belt. At least some of the elastic bodies may be arranged in an array, the array defined as meeting: a) one array is formed by 2-10 elastic bodies; b) each elastic body within one array is disposed in an inner-interval between each elastic body of 2-4 mm; and c) one specific array disposed in an extra-interval between at least one neighboring elastic bodies outside the specific array of greater than the inner-interval. Further, the front belt may comprise at least 5 arrays.

Wearable article having elastic belt

Disclosed is a wearable article continuous in a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction comprising an elastic belt region, a crotch region, a waist opening and two leg openings; wherein the elastic belt region is a laminate comprising an inner sheet made of nonwoven fiber, and an outer sheet made of nonwoven fiber, and a plurality of elastic bodies configured to stretch the elastic belt region in the transverse direction, wherein the article has a Compression Work index of at least about 70 gfcm and a Stretch Circumference Force of less than about 6.5N according to the measurements herein.

A wearable article wherein least some of the elastic bodies may be arranged in at least 2 sets of a concentrated array defined as meeting: a) one concentrated array is formed by 2-4 elastic bodies; b) each elastic body within one concentrated array is disposed in an inner-interval between each elastic body of 2-4 mm; and c) one specific concentrated array disposed in an extra-interval between at least one neighboring elastic body outside the specific concentrated array of less than 8 mm. The entirety of the length of the belt side edge of the front belt may be seamed with a certain length of the belt side edge of the back belt to define a seam length LS. The front and back belts may each divided into 4 zones wherein at least 2 concentrated arrays are disposed on the front proximal tummy zone or the back distal tummy zone.

A wearable article comprising an elastic laminate with an inner web and an outer web being in a face to face relationship, and a skin-facing outer surface and a garment-facing outer surface. The elastic laminate has a total caliper when subjected to the NMR MOUSE method as defined herein, the total caliper having a first 200 μm sub-caliper corresponding to 200 μm of the total caliper starting from the skin-facing outer surface and extending towards the garment-facing outer surface, and a last 200 μm sub-caliper corresponding to 200 μm of the total caliper starting from the garment-facing outer surface and extending towards the skin-facing outer surface.

Wearable article comprising an elastic belt laminate

The present disclosure relates to wearable articles having an elastic belt having arrays of elastic bodies.

A wearable article includes a front and back elastic belts, a crotch region, a waist opening, and leg openings. Each elastic belt is a laminate having an inner sheet, an outer sheet, and an elastic member. Elastic adhesive bonding continuously bonds the elastic member for at least about 10 mm in the direction of stretch adjacent the side edges of the belts. A discrete patterned adhesive bonding is applied to at least one of the inner and outer sheets to intermittently bond the inner and outer sheets. The discrete patterned adhesive bonding extends substantially along the transverse direction between the elastic adhesive bonding, and substantially along the longitudinal direction between the distal and proximal edges of the elastic belts. The same adhesive agent provides the elastic adhesive and discrete patterned adhesive bonding. Heat bonds form side seams, and the remainder of the laminate is free of heat bonds.
