Adjustable Absorbent Article Length via Fold-and-Fasten Segmentation

The absorbent article is divided into multiple size configurations by creating cut lines that segment the article into adjustable sections. Users can fold and tape the article along these cut lines to create different size configurations, eliminating the need for complex elastic features while achieving customizable fit.

The patent uses simple, inexpensive materials such as tapes and cut lines instead of expensive elastic components. The disposable nature of the article allows for simple structural modifications without requiring durable elastic materials that would increase cost and manufacturing complexity.

A single absorbent article design serves multiple size requirements through adjustable configurations. The article includes cut lines and fastening features that allow it to be adjusted to fit different body sizes, making one product design universal for multiple size needs and eliminating the requirement for separate size-specific products.

The absorbent article transitions from a fixed size design to a dynamic, adjustable design. Users can modify the article's dimensions by folding and taping along predetermined cut lines, allowing the same article to adapt to different size requirements rather than requiring multiple static size variants.

The article incorporates cut lines that segment the structure into adjustable sections. These segments can be folded and secured with tapes to create a customized fit that prevents sagging and slipping, while the base manufacturing process remains simple and unchanged.

The article allows users to change physical parameters such as length and width by folding along cut lines and securing with tapes. This enables the same manufactured article to be adjusted to different dimensional parameters to achieve stable fit without requiring multiple manufacturing processes.
