Embodiment 1

[0057] Below are examples of a series of taped diapers comprising four sizes (NB = "Newborn", "S" = Small, "M" = Medium, and "L" = Large). Fastening areas on all products include Landing Zone (LZ) material and three pairs (innermost 1-1, outermost 3-3 and middle 2-2) of markings. The article may be approximately as shown. Note that although the series includes four sizes that meet the requirements of the invention, the invention only requires that at least three sizes fall within the requirements of the claims. All distances in all examples are reported in mm.

[0058]

[0059] Inner Girdle = Wing Span + Innermost Marker Spacing A-A

[0060] Outer girth = wing span + outermost marker spacing C-C

[0061] The difference between the outer and inner girdle is reported in absolute value, making it irrelevant to subtract one from the other. According to the claimed invention, for at least three consecutive articles in the series, this difference should be less than 30 mm, but ...

Abstract

A line-up (200) of at least three hygiene absorbent articles of different sizes, each article comprising a pair of fasteners (42) separated by a wingspan (W) that can be fastened to a fastening area (44) on the front region (15) of the article so that the front region (15) and the back region (16) form a waist opening. The fastening area (44) in the front region (15) comprises an innermost pair offastening indicia (A-A), an outermost pair of fastening indicia (C-C) and preferably at least one intermediate pair of fastening indicia (B-B). The outer waist circumference of the article of a givensize matches within 30 mm the inner waist circumference of the article of the next upper size in the line-up (200), the circumferences being calculated by adding the wingspan and the spacing betweenthe innermost pair or outermost pair of indicia respectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a range of personal hygiene absorbent articles of different sizes, in particular, a range of baby diapers having different sizes. The present invention relates to improved placement of fastening indicia across sizes to provide better fastening of an article as the wearer moves from one size to the next in a series. Background technique [0002] Absorbent articles used for personal hygiene are designed to absorb and contain body exudates, especially large quantities of urine. So-called taped diapers or refastenable diapers generally include a pair of fasteners, respectively disposed on each side of the rear region of the diaper, which can be releasably fastened to the front region of the diaper fastening area. The caregiver typically lays the diaper open flat on a horizontal surface, such as a changing pad or bed, with the inside surface of the diaper facing up. The baby's buttocks (or, for adult incontinence products...
