The present disclosure relates to compositions comprising an aqueous solution of at least about 70% by weight water in combination with selected fatty acid salts and optionally an alcohol and/or a cooling sensate, as well as methods of using the same to treat symptoms of hot flashes. The fatty acid salts form fiber-like crystalline particles that together form a self-supporting mesh structure with voids, the aqueous solution being contained in the voids. When the composition is compressed above a critical stress, the mesh allows for the entrapped aqueous solution to be expressed.

Compositions and methods for treating hot flashes

A method of treating vaginal dryness by administering a vaginal care composition, which includes an effective amount of a vaginal care agent, to vaginal tissue of a user experiencing vaginal dryness. The vaginal care agent may be selected to specifically treat symptoms of vaginal dryness exhibited by the introitus and/or labia, based on the transcriptomic data of skin cells obtained therefrom. In some instances, the vaginal care composition may be applied to introitus and/or labia with a suitable implement configured for such use.

Compositions and methods for treating vaginal dryness

A method of reducing the feeling of vaginal dryness is provided. The method includes a female user suffering from vaginal dryness administering a vaginal care composition to her vaginal introitus and, optionally, external vaginal tissues. The vaginal care composition can comprise an oil-in-water emulsion and a silicone wax having a melting temperature of from about 24&#xb0; C. to about 50&#xb0; C. The vaginal care composition can also comprise silicone particles. The vaginal care composition can have a viscosity of from about 20,000 cps to about 200,000 cps.

The present disclosure is generally directed to pants that include reusable outer covers and disposable absorbent inserts.

Outer covers and disposable absorbent inserts for pants

A wearable absorbent article comprises a reusable outer cover and a disposable absorbent insert. The reusable outer cover comprises a first insert fastener component in a front waist region proximate to a waist opening edge of the reusable outer cover. The first insert fastener component comprises a first end positioned most proximate to the waist opening edge and a second end positioned most distal from the waist opening edge. An insert-gripping recess is formed in the first end in an area covering a longitudinal axis of the reusable outer cover. The disposable absorbent insert comprises a first fastener component in a forward region of the insert and configured to be joined to the first insert fastener component to attach the insert to the reusable outer cover.

Wearable absorbent articles

A reusable outer cover configured to be engaged with a disposable absorbent insert is provided. The reusable outer cover comprises front and rear waist regions configured to be joined together by a fastening zone. The fastening zone comprises a first side on the front waist region and a second side on the rear waist region. The first side comprises a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a first fastening component and the second portion comprises a second fastening component. The second side comprises a third portion and a fourth portion. The third portion comprises a third fastening component and the fourth portion comprises a fourth fastening component. The first and third fastening components have a first fastening property and the second and fourth fastening components have a second, different fastening property.
