The present invention relates to an absorbent article having a body-facing surface and a garment-facing surface opposite the body-facing surface, wherein the garment-facing surface has a substantially tack-free adhesive coating and sticky fibers flocked thereon for securing the absorbent article in place.

Absorbent articles having flocked fibers

A substrate having flocked fibers of superabsorbent polymer thereon is provided. The substrate may be one of a variety of materials, such as nonwoven materials, polymer films, apertured films, absorbent layers, netting, woven fabrics, foams, reticulated films and the like.

Substrates comprising flocked fibers of superabsorbent polymer

An absorbent article is provided comprising flocked fibers adhered to one or more internal surfaces of an absorbent article comprising a cover, an absorbent core, and a backsheet, such as the internal surface of the cover, either surface of the absorbent core, or the internal surface of the backsheet.

Absorbent article comprising flocked fibers

This invention relates to microporous films comprising flocked fibers. Such microporous films may be used as breathable materials in for example absorbent articles, wound care bandages, and skin care patches.

Microporous films comprising flocked fibers

The present invention provides an air permeable, substantially liquid impermeable barrier structure and products made therefrom, such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners, incontinence products and diapers. The barrier structure has a porous layer having opposing sides, the porous layer having: a porous substrate having pores, which extend between the opposing sides that correspond to the opposing sides of the porous layer, whereby a liquid may transverse the substrate; and particles that are fused to at least one side of the porous substrate so as to restrict entry of the liquid into the pores; wherein the porous layer resists penetration by the liquid when it is contained in an absorbent structure that overlays the side of the porous layer to which the particles are fused, and is under a loading of one pound per square inch; and wherein the porous layer has a Frazier air permeability value in the range of greater than zero to about 80 mm,/ft,/min (861 mm,/m,/min).
