Abstract

Absorbent articles with front and rear opening features are disclosed. An article may comprise an insert comprising an outer cover, a liner, and a core between the outer cover and liner, a first waistpanel coupled to the insert throughout a first attachment region, and a second waist panel coupled to the insert throughout a second attachment region, the second panel being coupled to the first panel proximate a first side edge of the article and the second side edge of the article and further comprising a weakened region. The second attachment may comprise a low-strength attachment zone and ahigh-strength attachment zone, the high-strength attachment zone disposed proximate the attachment region bottom edge. The low-strength attachment zone may further have a first peel strength and the high-strength attachment zone may have a second peel strength, the second peel strength greater than the first.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 512925, filed May 31, 2017. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to side-closure absorbent articles, and more particularly, to side-closure absorbent articles that can be opened from the front or the back. Background technique [0004] Continuing to wear an absorbent article after exudates have penetrated the absorbent article may lead to a number of different undesirable effects. For example, prolonged wear of an absorbent article that retains body exudates can increase the likelihood of skin irritation. Furthermore, continued wearing of such absorbent articles can also result in an increased likelihood that the liner system of the absorbent article will become damaged. These undesirable effects may be more common with semi-solid fecal material. Such fecal matter may have difficulty penetrating the bodyside liner o...
