A disposable absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent structure positioned intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet includes an elongate central portion and two wing portions opposingly laterally extending from the elongate central portion. The topsheet forms a wearer-facing surface in the two wing portions. The topsheet includes one or more continuous channel-forming structures following one or a plurality of paths. The one or plurality of paths is substantially symmetric about a central longitudinal axis of the topsheet and predominately circumscribes a discharge locus on the central longitudinal axis of the topsheet. The one or more continuous channel-forming structures extends across a central lateral axis of the topsheet. The topsheet includes a continuous hinge forming structure following a path extending generally longitudinally along one of the wing portions and extending across the central lateral axis of the topsheet.

Topsheets for absorbent articles

Arrays of sanitary tissue products of the present disclosure may comprise a first sanitary tissue product in a first package that conveys strength and/or softness, the first package may be disposed on a retail store shelf; and a digital image representative of a second package that conveys sustainability, and that is representative of a second sanitary tissue product for sale, the second sanitary tissue product may be disposed at a location other than the retail store shelf. Additionally, arrays of the present disclosure may comprise a first digital image representative of a first package that conveys strength and/or softness, and that is representative of a first sanitary tissue product; and a second digital image representative of a second package that conveys sustainability, and that is representative of a second sanitary tissue product.

Digital arrays comprising sustainable sanitary tissue products

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property, wherein the intensive property is one or more of thickness, basis weight, or volumetric density, and wherein the first surface has a TS7 value different than a TS7 value of the second surface.

Shaped nonwoven

An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet joined to the topsheet, and an absorbent core positioned intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet and comprising a core absorbent material, in which the core absorbent material comprises superabsorbent polymers with a bio-based content from about 5% to about 100% using ASTM D6866-10, method B and the absorbent article comprises a polyolefin content of at least about 90% by weight, based on a total weight of the absorbent article excluding the core absorbent material.

Recycle friendly and sustainable absorbent articles

A nonwoven fabric. The nonwoven fabric can include a first surface and a second surface and a visually discernible pattern of three-dimensional features on one of the first or second surface. Each of the three-dimensional features can define a microzone comprising a first region and a second region. The first and second regions can have a difference in values for an intensive property.

Fibrous structures containing one or more particles, and methods for making same are provided.

Fibrous structures comprising particles and methods for making same

Paper towel rolls that exhibit novel combinations of physical properties, such as Basis Weight, Roll Density, and Roll Diameter, such that the paper towel rolls meet consumers' needs, and method for making such novel paper towel rolls and marketing such novel paper towel rolls are provided.

Paper towel rolls

Arrays of sanitary tissue products of the present disclosure may comprise a first sanitary tissue product in a first package that conveys strength, absorption, and/or softness, wherein the first package comprises a plastic film in contact with the first sanitary tissue product; and a second sanitary tissue product in a second package that conveys sustainability, wherein the second package comprises a sustainable package material in contact with the second sanitary tissue product. TS7, TS750, lint, slip stick, tensile ratio, VFS, and SST may be common intensive properties of the first and second sanitary tissue products. Further, packages of sanitary tissue products of the present disclosure may comprise a sustainable package material, a brand name, wherein the package conveys sustainability, and an indicia.

Sanitary tissue product packages conveying sustainability

A package of one or more absorbent articles is provided. The package comprises a package material comprising natural fibers. The package comprises a plurality of panels comprising a consumer-facing panel. The package is sealed such that the one or more absorbent articles are enclosed therein. The package material exhibits a HuBa value of greater than about 5.3 hours, according to the HuBa Test. The package is recyclable. The package comprises a vertical side seal having a side seal strength. The side seal strength is greater than about 5.1 N/15 mm and less than about 15 N/15 mm, according to Seal Tensile Strength Test.

Packages for absorbent articles

An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.

Absorbent article with function-formed topsheet, and method for manufacturing

An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may include a plurality of discrete low bulk portions arranged in a pattern disposed along a longitudinal axis of the article, which facilitate z-direction movement of fluid through the topsheet and inhibit spreading of a fluid stain along the topsheet in the x and y directions.

A package containing polyolefin film having between about 10% and about 95%, by weight of the polyolefin film, of recycled polyolefin is described. The polyolefin film has an Average Hole Count between about 0.0 and about 10.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Gel Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method. The polyolefin film has an Average Relative Gel Height between about 0.0% and about 150.0%. The polyolefin film has a Total Spot Count between about 0.0 and about 100.0, according to the Gel Count Test Method.
