Embodiment Construction

[0042] In the figures, reference numeral 10 generally designates an absorbent article according to the invention. In the illustrated embodiment, the absorbent article 10 is in the form of a diaper intended to be worn about the waist of the wearer.

[0043] specifically refer to figure 1 and image 3 , it is apparent that the absorbent article 10 has a base 12 comprising a backsheet 14 and an absorbent structure 16 . The base extends a distance H in a longitudinal direction about a longitudinal axis L which generally coincides with the direction of travel of the production machine. The absorbent structure 16 is transversely centered about the longitudinal axis L. As shown in FIG. The longitudinal axis L divides the base 12 into a first lateral half 18 and a second lateral half 20 . The base further extends in a transverse direction with respect to the transverse axis T. The base 12 can be divided along the longitudinal axis L into a first end region 22 , a crotch region 24...

Abstract

An absorbent article (10) having leg elastic channels formed in standing-gather webs. The leg elastic channels contain leg elastic material (36) which is intermittently bonded to the standing-gather webs in the channels. The leg elastic channels overlap side panels in overlap regions (60, 62). The leg elastic material is unaffixed to the standing-gather webs in the overlap regions so that the absorbent article is not gathered in the overlap regions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an absorbent article according to the preamble of claim 1 , and to a method of manufacturing the absorbent article. Background technique [0002] Traditional absorbent articles, such as children's and adult diapers, training pants, pull-up diapers, adult incontinence shorts, belt products, and swim shorts, have elasticized regions to improve the fit and comfort of the user. It is known, for example, to provide elasticized leg openings to form pads around the wearer's legs to thereby reduce the risk of leakage. Also, it is known to use standing-gather webs to create "receptacles" in diapers to retain waste. [0003] Typically, the elasticized regions are produced by intermittently bonding elastic threads or strips under stretch to a substrate forming at least part of the base of the absorbent article. For diapers, typical basesheets are the backsheet, topsheet and standing-gathering web. The elastic threads or straps cause th...
