Problems solved by technology

[0010] Another problem posed by thin and flexible superabsorbent articles is that they do not maintain the desired shape in order to maximize the rate of fluid absorption and maintain a comfortable next-to-body shape as the user goes about their daily activities, especially when This is especially true when the absorbent article is loaded after repeated insults with urine or menses

specific Embodiment approach

[0049] As stated above, the present invention relates to absorbent articles having a number of readily measurable properties within certain defined optimum ranges. Each range of each property provides an absorbent article according to the invention, but the different ranges and preferred ranges may be combined in any way to develop embodiments of the invention.

[0050] The properties in question are the following:

[0051] a) % Thickness Swell as measured at five minutes according to the Dynamic Thickness Swell Test,

[0052] b) % Thickness Swell measured at one minute according to Dynamic Thickness Swell Test,

[0053] c) Dry Peak Hardness as measured by the Gather Compression Test;

[0054] d) Acquisition rate and rewet as measured according to the SABAP test;

[0055] e) dry thickness;

[0056] f) Thickness swell measured at 5 minutes or 1 minute according to dynamic thickness swell test

[0057] Dynamic thickness expansion tests were performed as described in the Met...

Abstract

The present invention relates to an absorbent article, comprising a fluid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent element disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet wherein the absorbentarticle has a ratio of the acquisition rate to the dry peak stiffness is at least 0.5 ml / Ns.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to absorbent articles which are particularly thin and flexible and are able to retain their shape and move with the body like clothing, but still have a high capacity to absorb fluids and are particularly effective in absorbing these fluids in a rapid manner . [0002] This relates in particular to products which are worn every day and which may have to absorb large amounts of urine discharge, and includes products which are worn for menstrual and incontinence use. [0003] Absorbent articles according to the invention may be, for example, diapers, incontinence briefs, training pants, diaper fasteners and liners, hygiene garments, and the like. Background technique [0004] There are two specific challenges in delivering thin, flexible, garment-like superabsorbent products; the first is having sufficient fluid storage volume within the core system to accommodate the large discharge volume, and the second is having The ga...
