A hygiene tissue includes a composition including one or more lactic acid producing bacterial strains and a lipid phase including at least one lipid, wherein the lipid is selected from the group having olive oil, canola oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oil, peanut oil, soy bean oil, Dimethicone, paraffin oil, and petrolatum; and a matrix impregnated by the composition.

Hygiene tissue

Hygienic product comprising an odor control material having a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction, the odor control material including a first carrier material wherein a plurality of odor control particles are bonded to at least one surface of the first carrier material by a binder substance wherein the first carrier material in an unexpanded condition has a plurality of transversal slits, and that the first carrier material in an expanded condition in the longitudinal direction has a plurality of openings, and that the first carrier material is fixed in the expanded condition in the hygienic product whereby the odor control material is in the form of a reticulated structure.

Absorbent product comprising odor control material

A composition including a buffered lactic acid having a pH within the range of from 3.0 to 6.5 is disclosed. The composition is a lubricant composition and has a water activity of from 0.03 to 0.60. The friction between the absorbent product and the skin/mucous membrane of the user is reduced when in contact with the skin or mucous membrane of the user. An additional advantage is that the composition has a pH in the acidic range which is close to the pH of the skin and/or mucous membrane.

Composition comprising a buffered lactic acid

The present invention relates to an odor control material consisting of a water-insoluble particulate odor control agent and a thermoplastic water-soluble carrier matrix encapsulating the odor control agent. The carrier matrix dissolves when in contact with an aqueous solution, such as urine and the odor control material is obtained by means of thermoforming. The invention relates also to a method for the preparation of the odor control material and the use of the odor control material in absorbent products. The present odor control material minimizes dusting problems caused by particulate odor control agents in production processes.

Odour control material, method for preparation of an odour control material and an absorbent product comprising the odour control material

A sanitary article () such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, an incontinence protector, a diaper, an incontinence pad, a feminine insert, a tampon, or the like includes a top sheet () and a microbe-inhibiting composition (). The microbe-inhibiting composition () includes at least one extracellular product of at least one probiotic bacterium and/or at least one probiotic bacterium and at least one additive in the form of an organic acid, with at least one of its pKa value not exceeding 5.5, and/or a salt thereof.

Sanitary article comprising a microbe-inhibiting composition

A hygiene tissue (), such as a wet wipe, dry wipe, washcloth, patch, towelette, napkin, and the like includes a microbe-inhibiting composition (). The microbe-inhibiting composition () includes an extracellular product of at least one probiotic bacterium and at least one additive in the form of an organic acid, with at least one of its pKa value not exceeding 5.5, and/or a salt thereof.

Hygiene tissue comprising a microbe-inhibiting composition

Absorbent product, such as a diaper, a sanitary napkin or an incontinence product, having a longitudinal and a lateral direction, including a back sheet, being distal from the body of the wearer in use of the product, and a top sheet, being proximal to the body of the wearer in use of the product, the product having a front part, a rear part and a crotch part lying between the front and rear parts, the product further including an absorbent structure, between the top and back sheet, extending longitudinally from the front part to the rear part, and whereby the product includes at least one starch-based odor control agent having a specific area of at least 5 m/g, preferably at least 10 m/g, more preferably at least 50 m/g, even more preferably at least 100 m/g, and most preferably at least 200 m/g. Hereby, an enhanced capacity to absorb malodorous compounds of large size intervals in wet and dry systems is achieved.

Absorbent product

A novel strain of, denoted strain Ess-1, which has been deposited at Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH and has been assigned accession number DSM17851., strain Ess-1, has shown valuable properties in the inhibition of, and has medical uses, in particular for the treatment and/or prevention of candidasis and urinary tract infections. In addition, pharmaceutical products and articles include the novel bacterial strain.
