An article has a longitudinal length, an article width, and an article thickness. The article includes a fresh personal care product in a substantially unsoiled condition, and a pouch having a pouch volume which operatively encloses the fresh product. The pouch includes a front panel region, a back panel region which is operatively connected to the front panel region, and at least one expansion section which is operatively connected between the front panel region and the back panel region. The expansion section is operatively held in a substantially unexpanded, closed position when the fresh product is enclosed in the pouch. The expansion section is movable to an open position after a removal of the fresh product from the pouch. The open position of the expansion section is configured to provide an expanded disposal volume which can operatively contain a product when the product is in a used and soiled condition.

A product including two or more plies with each ply including one absorbent layer and a second opposing fluid impervious layer. The two plies are arranged such that the fluid impervious layers face each other and are positioned at the inside of the two-ply product. The two plies are bonded on two or three sides to form a sleeve or a pocket, such that a hand can be inserted between the two plies and positioned in contact with one or both fluid impervious layers. In this manner, the product is absorbent on both sides, and can be utilized on both sides while preventing hand contact with the material absorbed or picked up by the product.

Improved aperturing of a web can be obtained by providing pins with an extended tapered section that is substantially convex in shape. When the tapered section is longer than the penetration depth of the pins into the receiving recesses of a female roll, frictional forces in the nip between layers are reduced. Pins with extended tapered sections can be used in devices for producing apertured composite web assemblies comprising sections of absorbent matter attached to a nonwoven web or other carrier layer.

System for aperturing and coaperturing webs and web assemblies

A process and system for maintaining a position of a feminine-care treatment ( ) includes a providing of an operative quantity of at least one feminine-care treatment material ( ), and a depositing of the treatment material into a vulva-vaginal area of a recipient, female user. A maintenance article, such as provided by an interlabial device ( ), is placed into an interlabial space of the user. The maintenance article ( ) is configured to operatively impede an undesired movement of the treatment material ( ) from the vulva-vaginal area when the interlabial device is placed in the interlabial space of the user. In a particular aspect, the maintenance article ( ) can include a liquid-permeable topsheet layer ( ), and a pliable core ( ) which operatively joined to the topsheet layer ( ). In another aspect, the maintenance article ( ) can include a backsheet layer ( ) which is joined to the topsheet layer ( ), and can have the pliable core member ( ) positioned between the topsheet layer ( ) and the backsheet layer ( ). Still another aspect can include a bundling mechanism ( ) for operatively holding the treatment material ( ) and the interlabial device ( ) in a convenient system-assembly ( ).
