[0370] Ways to Improve Skin Condition

[0371] A 20 lb infant with dry, irritated skin wore the diaper of Example 1 for 10 days. Change the baby's diaper according to the caregiver's routine. (Typical diaper wearing patterns are changed every 3 to 4 hours during the day and a new diaper is applied at night before going to bed.) At this stage, no caregiver intervention in the form of manual application of skin protection or conditioning products occurred. During the 10 days, an improvement in the smoothness of the patient's skin was observed.

[0373] Ways to Improve Skin Condition

[0374] An adult incontinence article similar to the diaper of Example 1 was used for at least about 7 days by an incontinent adult who regularly uses the absorbent article and is continuously active with dry skin weighing 165 pounds. The patient's supplies are changed according to the user's usual manner. (Typical changes are every 4 to 5 hours during the day, with a fresh product applied at night before going to bed.) At this stage, no user intervention in the form of manual application of skin protection or conditioning products occurred. At the end of 7 days, the patient's skin smoothness was observed to be improved.

Abstract

Disclosed is a method for improving skin condition of a wearer in the area covered by an absorbent article, the method comprising: (a) applying to the wearer an absorbent article having a skin care composition that improves skin smoothness upon transfer to the skin of the wearer; (b) transferring to the wearer at least a portion of the skin care composition during wear; and (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) with one or more additional articles with sufficient frequency to improve skin smoothness in the area covered by the absorbent article relative to skin covered by an equivalent absorbent article that does not comprise the skin care composition, and without the need for manual application of skin protective agents or condition agents (e.g., by the caregiver or wearer). Also disclosed are methods for assessing skin smoothness in the area of a wearer covered by absorbent articles.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to a method of improving the skin health of the wearer of an absorbent article, including absorbent articles such as diapers, training pants, adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products and the like. The present application more particularly relates to a method comprising repeatedly using an absorbent article that delivers a composition to the skin of a wearer to improve skin smoothness. Background of the invention [0002] A wide variety of high capacity disposable absorbent articles such as diapers are commercially available for absorbing urine and other body exudates. Disposable articles of this type generally comprise a liquid permeable topsheet material, an absorbent core and a liquid impermeable backsheet material. While these types of absorbent constructions are highly effective for absorbing liquids, it is recognized that prolonged wear of such absorbent constructions can lead to overhydration of the ...
