Disposable absorbent article such as a feminine hygiene pad, and adult incontinence article or a baby diaper having a minimised tendency for creating negative skin occlusion which might create over-hydration of the skin by exhibiting a low Breathability Value as impacted by the vapour permeability of backsheet materials and the respective areas as covered by such materials.

Disposable absorbent articles with reduced occlusion tendency

A disposable absorbent article sustaining low vapor phase moisture in the space as enclosed between and the wearer in use, such as can be evaluate by measuring relative humidity on a laboratory mannequin, such can be achieved by combining high performance, low rewet absorbent cores with breathable backsheet materials.

Disposable absorbent articles maintaining low vapor phase moisture content

A disposable absorbent article substaining low vapor phase moisture in the space as enclosed between the article and the wearer in use, such as can be evaluated by measuring relative humidity on a laboratory mannequin, such can be achieved by combining high performance, low rewet absorbent comes with breathable backsheet materials.

The present invention is an absorbent structure with an ultimate fluid storage member, comprising superabsorbent material at a relatively high concentration whereby the superabsorbent material has a good Performance under Pressure performance as well as a good Saline Flow conductivity. Further, the absorbent structure comprises a non-woven wrap sheet comprising small diameter fibers, which is in direct fluid communication with said storage member, and which has low strike-through times in a repeated modified strike through test.

High liquid suction absorbent structures

A disposable absorbent article aiming at improved skin aeration by combining the benefits of an absorbent core providing good rewet performance and of using backsheet materials, which where covering the core area, provide vapor permeability, and which have even higher vapor permeability in the chassis region(s) surrounding the core region.

Disposable absorbent articles with improved skin dryness performance and with improved core and chassis backsheet breathabilities

A disposable absorbent article aiming at improved skin aeration by combining the benefits of an absorbent core providing good rewet performance and of using backsheet materials, which, where covering the core area, provide high vapour permeability.

Disposable absorbent articles with improved skin dryness performance and with improved skin aeration

The present invention provides a new method for assessing disposable absorbent articles with regard to their impact on skin aeration by measuring relative humidity values in a mannequin test set up.

Method for assessing disposable absorbent articles

A disposable absorbent article aiming at improved skin aeration by combining the benefits of an absorbent core providing good rewet performance and of cloth-like backsheet materials, which provide high vapor permeability.

Disposable absorbent articles with breathable fabric feel backsheet

Disposable absorbent articles having reduced surface wetness

The present invention relates to absorbent articles which provide improved protection against skin overhydration. A particularly preferred embodiment of an absorbent article of the present invention comprises a body contacting surface having a skin care composition thereon that, when at least a portion of the composition is transferred to a wearer's skin by normal body motion or body heat, the material is effective in providing a skin condition benefit and a liquid impermeable, breathable backsheet having a mass vapor transmission rate value (MVTR) of at least about 1300 g/m.sup.2 /24 hr and an absorbent core having a post acquisition collagen rewet method value (PACORM) with a PACORM:MVTR ratio is less than 0.05 mg/(g/m.sup.2 /24 hr).

Disposable absorbent articles providing a skin condition benefit

Absorbent composite structure formed of a substrate and cross-linkable

Absorbent articles

Absorbent core having improved fluid handling properties

Absorbent gelling material comprising a dry mixture of at least two

Absorbent members useful in the containment of body fluids such as urine, that have at least one region containing hydrogel-forming absorbent polymer in a concentration of from about 60 to 100% by weight and providing a gel-continuous fluid transportation zone when in a swollen state. This hydrogel-forming absorbent polymer has: (a) a Saline Flow Conductivity (SFC) value of at least about 30.times.10.sup.-7 cm.sup.3 sec/g; (b) a Performance under Pressure (PUP) capacity value of at least about 23 g/g under a confining pressure of 0.7 psi (5 kPa); and (c) a basis weight of at least about 10 gsm. In addition, the region where this hydrogel-forming absorbent polymer is present has, even when subjected to normal use conditions, sufficient wet integrity such that the gel-continuous zone substantially maintains its ability to acquire and transport body fluids through the gel-continuous zone.
