Abstract
The present disclosure is generally directed to process for controlling the quality of absorbent articles containing wetness sensing systems. The wetness sensing system incorporated in the article can include, for instance, metallic conductive leads or other metallic material. A metal sensor can be used in order to ensure that a proper amount of metallic material is contained within the absorbent article thereby confirming the presence of the wetness sensing system. The process of the present disclosure can be carried out at various locations. For instance, the process can be carried out while the articles are being manufactured, after the articles are packaged or during use of the articles. In one embodiment, the process can be carried out at a wholesale or retail location prior to accepting the articles into inventory.
