Absorbent article with increased comfortability

Abstract

The invention relates to an absorbent product (100) with a plane extension comprising a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction, wherein the product comprises an absorption body (103), which absorption body (103) comprises in its thickness direction a liquid-receiving, open-cell foam layer (104) and a liquid-absorbent fibrous layer (105), wherein the open-cell liquid-receiving foam layer (104) and the liquid-absorbent fibrous layer (105) comprise two opposite, longitudinally running side edges (106, 107; 110, 111) extending in the longitudinal direction and two opposite transverse edges (108, 109; 112, 113) extending in the transverse direction. The liquid-receiving, open-cell foam layer (104) has a total surface in the plane extension of the product that covers the entire surface of the liquid- absorbent, fibrous layer in the plane extension and that each of the longitudinally extending side edges (106, 107) of the liquid-receiving, open-cell foam layer (104) extends at least along a part of its length outside of each of the longitudinally running side edges (110, 111) of the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105), and that the liquid-receiving, open-cell foam layer (104) has an opacity greater than 35% and an absorption capacity lower than 0.15 of a gram of liquid / cm3 dry test material measured according to the CRCmaterial layer method, and that the liquid-absorbent, fibrous layer (105) has a bending stiffness greater than 2.0 newtons measured according to the modified Circular Bend Procedure method.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an absorbent product having a planar extension comprising a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction, wherein the product comprises an absorbent body comprising, in its thickness direction, an open-celled foam layer for receiving liquids and a liquid-absorbent fibrous layer, wherein said liquid-accepting open-cell foam layer and said liquid-absorbent fibrous layer comprise two opposing longitudinal side edges extending in said longitudinal direction and two opposing longitudinal side edges extending in said transverse direction relative lateral edges. Background technique [0002] Absorbent products such as sanitary napkins, pantiliners and incontinence protectors, which are provided to rest against the user's body during use, place high demands on: they are unobtrusive, soft and comfortable to wear, while at the same time providing reliable leak-tight safety sex. [0003] A common prob...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, the skin in the user's crotch is relatively sensitive, and a problem with using absorbent products with stiffening elements is that they can scrape the user's skin, for example, when the user moves

[0006] Furthermore, a problem when using absorbent products such as diapers and sanitary napkins is that when there is repeated wetting of the product, the liquid absorbed during the first wetting must be transported from the wetted area and the absorbent body closest to the user. The upper part of the further leads to the lower part of the absorbent body for absorption and storage
