Referring to accompanying drawing 1 to 39, wherein the similar portions among each figure is used identical reference number.Figure 2 shows that an absorbent commodity,, represent that with numeral 40 it is placed in wearer's the vestibule, represent (referring to Fig. 1) with numeral 42 as Labial pad.Terminology used here " Labial pad " refers to the device with at least some absorbent members, and the concrete configuration in its use extends partially into women wearer's vestibule (42) at least for being placed between the labium majus.For the ease of description subsequently, vestibule (42) is considered near the afterbody point that starts from preceding commissura labiorum oris (44) in the labia, extands rearward to back commissura labiorum oris (46) and is limited in inside and the zone (clearly not illustrating among the figure) that forms by vestibule bottom surface (48).Those skilled in the art is appreciated that fully women's labium majus and nympholabial relative size and shape have an excursion when with the above profile that limits vestibule (42) in the same manner.But for the ease of description of the invention, this species diversity does not specify, and can think under any circumstance absorbent commodity (40) to be placed on vestibule (42) when interior, absorbent commodity need be placed between the labium majus, and not consider nympha.What be positioned at vestibule (42) afterbody is perineum (50), and it leads to the anus (52) in buttocks (54) zone.Associated ground, what be positioned at vestibule (42) inside itself is main apparatus urogenitalis, it comprises vaginal orifice (56), urethral orifice (58) and clitoris (60).More than provided the brief description of dissecting department of the Chinese Academy of Sciences position,, it has been generally acknowledged that vestibule (42) is the zone between back commissura labiorum oris (46) and the clitoris (60) for the ease of the description among the present invention.But, understand the description of women's anatomy part in order to be more convenient for, please refer to the Anatomy of the Human Body of HenryGray, the U.S., the 30th edition (Carmine D.Clemente ed.Lea ﹠amp; Febiger, 1985), the 1571-1581 page or leaf.
With reference to anatomy histological structure illustrated in figures 1 and 2, absorbent commodity (40) is placed at least in part is used for occlusion at least in part from the effusive fluid of these parts in the vestibule (42).In this, absorbent commodity (40) though can be equally be used as a kind of incontinence product that absorbs urine, as the urine that produces when being used for baby, women's incontinence, it mainly acts on is to absorb the effusive menstruation of transvaginal mouth (56).
Be a kind of absorbent commodity (40) of form shown in Fig. 3, it has a vertical main shaft (L) that extends along directions X usually.Terminology used here " vertically " is meant a line, one or the direction in the plane of absorbent commodity (40), it is aligned in absorbent commodity usually and divides the women wearer who stands equally as left-half and right half part health vertical plane (approximately being parallel for example) in using.In Fig. 3, represent that with X-axis this is vertical.Absorbent commodity (40) also has a horizontal main shaft (T).Terminology used here " laterally ", " side direction " or " Y direction " typically refer to perpendicular to a line, one or a direction longitudinally.In Fig. 3, represent this side direction with Y-axis." Z direction " is parallel to a line of above-mentioned vertical plane, one or a direction typically usually.In Fig. 4, represent this Z direction with the Z axle.Term " top " typically refers to the direction of pointing to wearer's head, and term " bottom " or " downwards " typically refer to the direction of pointing to wearer's foot.For convenience of description, each layer of absorbent commodity (40), for example, but the barrier layer (64) of the cover layer of permeate fluid (62), impermeable liquid and/or absorber (66) have a upper surface or towards the surface of health, and lower surface also is described to upper surface or towards the surperficial facing surfaces of health.
Referring to Fig. 5, the absorbent commodity shown in it (40) but comprise barrier layer (64) and the absorber (66) between cover layer and barrier layer of the cover layer (62) of a permeate fluid, an impermeable liquid.As shown in Figure 6, absorber (66) has a first end zone (70), the second end zone (72) and the middle section between two end regions (74).Absorbent commodity (40) should have suitable size and shape so that at least a portion absorbent commodity can be placed in women wearer's the vestibule (42).In addition, absorbent commodity (40) needs occlusion at least in part and stops vagina (56) from the wearer and/or menstruation, urine or other excremental flowing that urethra (58) is discharged.
Absorber (66) absorbent commodity (40) in other words has a geometry that extends between separated first transverse end surface (76) and second (78) transverse end surface usually, absorber (66) absorbent commodity (40) in other words also comprises separated first vertical side (80) and the second vertical side (82) in the scope between the transverse end surface (76,78), has so just constituted whole geometry.Above each several part jointly is called as periphery (that is, these parts form the periphery) sometimes.
The shape of absorber (66) is to influence the whole size of absorbent commodity (40) and the key factor of effectiveness.Usually, absorber (66) has a Breadth Maximum (W Max) and a minimum widith (W Min), this Breadth Maximum is along a line that is parallel to horizontal main shaft (T) usually, from a vertical side to the measured distance in relative vertical side (80,82), this minimum widith also is along a line that is parallel to horizontal main shaft (T) usually, from a vertical side to the measured distance in relative vertical side (80,82).Breadth Maximum (the W of absorber (66) Max) typically be and be not more than about 30; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 40; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 50; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 60; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 70; Minimum widith (the W of absorber (66) Min) typically be and be not less than about 30; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 20; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 10; Maybe can be chosen as and be not less than about 5mm.Therefore, although the approximate width of absorber can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the absorbent commodity (40) in women wearer's the vestibule (42), absorber (66) can have one and be not less than about 5mm to the width range that is not more than between about 70mm.Those skilled in the art can recognize the absorber (66) of some pattern, the minimum widith (W of some absorbent commodity (40) in other words at an easy rate Min) can equal its Breadth Maximum (W Max).In these situations, usually only with reference to its Breadth Maximum (W Max).
Absorber (66) also has a greatest length (L Max), this greatest length is along a line that is parallel to vertical main shaft (L) usually, (76,78) measured distance from a transverse end surface to relative transverse end surface.Greatest length (the L of absorber (66) Max) typically be and be not more than about 40; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 50; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 60; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 70; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 80; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 90; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 100mm.Absorber (66) can also have a minimum length (L Min), this minimum length is along a line that is parallel to vertical main shaft (L) usually, (76,78) measured distance from a transverse end surface to relative transverse end surface.Minimum length (the L of absorber (66) Min) typically be and be not less than 100; Can be chosen as and be not less than 90; Can be chosen as and be not less than 80; Can be chosen as and be not less than 70; Can be chosen as and be not less than 60; Can be chosen as and be not less than 50; Maybe can be chosen as and be not less than 40mm.Therefore, although the approximate length of absorber can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the absorbent commodity (40) in women wearer's the vestibule (42), absorber (66) can have one and be not less than 40mm to the length range that is not more than between the 100mm.Those skilled in the art can recognize some absorber (66) at an easy rate, in other words minimum length (the L of some absorbent commodity (40) Min) can equal its greatest length (L Max).In these situations, at least as shown in Figure 6, usually only with reference to its greatest length (L Max).Greatest length (the L of a kind of in other words absorbent commodity of a kind of absorber (66) (40) Max) be not equal to its minimum length (L Min), at least as shown in Figure 7.
First end zone (70) and the second end zone (72) transverse end surface (being respectively 76 and 78) from middle section (74) to absorber (66) is minimum to stretch out one and is not less than absorber greatest length (L Max) about 30% distance; Can be chosen as and be not less than approximately 20%, maybe can be chosen as and be not less than absorber greatest length (L Max) about 10%.First end zone (70) and the second end zone (72) transverse end surface (being respectively 76 and 78) from middle section (74) to absorber (66) is minimum to stretch out one and is not more than absorber greatest length (L Max) about 20% distance; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 30%; Maybe can be chosen as and be not more than absorber greatest length (L Max) about 40%.Like this, end regions (70,72) can minimum occupy absorber (66) greatest length (L Max) about 20% occupy absorber (66) greatest length (L to maximum Max) about 80%.The approximate size of absorber can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the absorbent commodity (40) in women wearer's the vestibule (42).
Usually expectation absorbent commodity (40) has enough capacity to absorb and to keep the body excretions of expection total amount or type.Provide absorptive capacity by fluid holding core or absorber, this fluid holding core or absorber are marked as 66 usually.At least for menstruation, the minimum capacity of expectation absorber (66) is not less than about 19g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 18g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 17g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 16g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 15g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 14g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 13g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 12g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 11g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 10g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 9g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 8g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 7g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 6g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 5g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 4g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 3g/g; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 2g/g; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not less than about 1g/g.Absorber (66) also can have the heap(ed) capacity that is not more than about 5g/g, can be chosen as to be not more than about 6g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 7g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 8g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 9g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 10g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 11g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 12g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 13g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 14g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 15g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 16g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 17g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 18g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 19g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 20g/g; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 25g/g; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 30g/g.Like this, though the approx. volume of absorber can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the absorbent commodity (40) in women wearer's the vestibule (42), absorber (66) can have one and be not less than about 1g/g up to an absorptive capacity scope that is not more than between about 30g/g.Those skilled in the art can recognize at an easy rate and add super absorbent polymer or apply the effect that super absorbent polymer typically has obvious increase absorptive capacity in absorber.
One assembly is described in more detail, absorber (66) has a upper face or towards the surface of health and lower surface (with upper face or towards the surperficial facing surfaces of health), and can comprise any material that keeps the body excretions of expecting after can absorbing and/or absorb.Suitable material is normally hydrophilic, compressible and comfortable.This absorber (66) can be made of any material well known by persons skilled in the art.This examples of material comprises, but be not limited only to, various natural or synthetic fibers, multilamellar crape cellulose wadding, soft fiber cellulose fiber, staple fibre or other material of regenerated cellulose, super-absorbent polymer, fibre bundle or the nits of the wood pulp cellulose of wood pulp cellulose or pulverizing, bulking meterial, textile material, polyester and polypropylene fibre mixture, absorbent foam, absorbable sponge, super-absorbent polymer, coating, or the combination of any equivalent material or these materials.The also with good grounds any known method of be fit to using of the material hydrophilic hydrophobic material that become.But total absorptive capacity of absorber (66) should adapt with the designing and arranging discharge and the expection application of absorbent commodity (40).In addition, the size of absorber (66) and absorptive capacity can change.Therefore, size, shape and the configuration of absorber (66) is (for example, absorber can have the thickness of the variation shown in Figure 11 and 12 at least, or a hydrophilic gradient maybe can comprise super absorbent polymer or its analog) that can change.
Absorber (66) has thickness, footpath degree (caliper) or height (H) usually, and at least as shown in Figure 4, this thickness is to measure along a line that is parallel to the Z axle usually.The minimum thickness of absorber (66) typically is and is not less than about 9mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 8mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 2mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 1mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.5mm.The maximum ga(u)ge of absorber (66) typically is and is not more than about 2mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 8mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 9mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 10mm.Like this, although the approximate thickness of absorber can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the interior absorbent commodity of women wearer vestibule (42) (40), the thickness of absorber (66) is about 10mm or littler.
Absorber (66) also needs to have low relatively density, that is to say to expect to feel comfortable.Usually, the density of absorber is less than about 0.5g/cc.In other words, absorber (66) typically has a maximal density that is not more than about 0.5g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.4g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.3g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.2g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.1g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.09g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.08g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.07g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.06g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.05g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.04g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.03g/cc; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 0.02g/cc.Absorber (66) also has a minimum density that typically is not less than about 0.01g/cc usually; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.02g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.03g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.04g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.05g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.06g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.07g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.08g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.09g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.1g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.2g/cc; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.3g/cc; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.4g/cc.Like this, although the approximate densities of absorber can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the interior absorbent commodity of women wearer vestibule (42) (40), the density range of absorber (66) can reach about 0.5g/cc.
Absorber (66) also need to have one less than about 600 grams/square metre basis weight.In other words, absorber (66) typically have one be not more than about 600 the gram/square metre maximum basis weight; Can be chosen as be not more than about 500 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not more than about 400 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not more than about 300 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not more than about 200 the gram/square metre; Perhaps can be chosen as be not more than about 100 the gram/square metre.Usually, absorber (66) also have one typically be not less than about 0.1 the gram/square metre minimum basis weight; Can be chosen as be not less than about 50 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 100 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 150 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 200 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 250 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 300 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 350 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 400 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 450 the gram/square metre; Can be chosen as be not less than about 500 the gram/square metre; Perhaps can be chosen as be not less than about 550 the gram/square metre.Like this, although though the approximate basis weight of absorber is to change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the interior absorbent commodity of women wearer vestibule (42) (40), the basis weight of absorber (66) be about 600 the gram/square metre or littler.An object lesson of suitable absorber is similar to synthetic (coform) material that the mixture by polypropylene and cellulose fibre constitutes, and is applied to KOTEX maxi pantiliners and can obtains from the Kimberly company of Wisconsin, USA (WI) Neenah.
Optionally barrier layer (64) typically is positioned at the lower surface of absorber (66) and can be made of the material of any ideal impermeable liquid.People expect that this barrier layer (64) can make air and dampness see through absorber (66), and stop appearing of body fluid.An example of suitable barrier material is micro-embossed, polymeric membrane, and as polyethylene, polypropylene or polyester, its minimum thickness is not less than about 0.025mm, and maximum ga(u)ge is not more than about 0.13mm.Also can use bicomponent film, and treated weaving fiber and the non woven fibre that becomes impermeable liquid.Another kind of suitable examples of material is a closed cell polyolefin foam.Closed-cell polyethylene foam also can be worked satisfactorily.
Barrier layer (64) and absorber (66) can be by the adjacent surface of mutual bonding all or part with being connected of being maintained fixed.Can use various methods known to those skilled in the art realizes this fixedly connected.The example of this method include but not limited to, ultrasound wave, heat bonding or the binding agent of applied in various forms between two adjacent surfaces.A concrete example of barrier material is similar to the polyethylene film that is applied to KOTEX pantiliners, and can obtain from the Pliant company of American I L Schaumburg.
The liquid-permeable cover that can select (62) has a upper surface and a lower surface, and its upper surface is typically with wearer's Body contact and receive slop.People expect that cover layer (62) is to be made by a kind of material of flexibility, and expect that its vestibule to the women wearer (42) is non-stimulated.Terminology used here " flexibility " is meant to be complied with and meets the surface of human body or have under the situation of external force, is easy to produce distortion.
Cover layer (62) is used to provide comfortable and compliance, and its function is for leaving slop guiding health and from health guiding absorber (66).Cover layer (62) should keep almost not having or no liquid in its structure, thereby but provide relative comfort and with women wearer's the adjacent non-stimulated surface of vestibule (42) inner tissue.The structure of cover layer (62) can be any woven or non-woven material, and this material also is easy to make its surperficial body fluid of contact to see through.Suitable examples of material comprises the bonded carded fibrous web of polymer, aliphatic (acid) ester such as the polylactic acid etc. of artificial silk, polyester, polypropylene, polyethylene, nylon or other heat-bondable fibres, polyolefin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, and meticulous perforated film fleece and Web materials also are suitable for.A concrete example of suitable covering layer material is similar to the bonded carded fibrous web of the rubber cover of being made by polyolefin and polyethylene that is applied to KOTEX pantiliners, and can obtain from the Sandler company of Germany.Suitably other examples of material comprise polymeric material and nonwoven material.Synthetic material is the form of full wafer typically, and it normally extrudes polymer on the net sheet of spunbonded materials and makes.But cover layer (62) that should permeate fluid also can comprise formation many holes thereon, and these holes can increase body fluid and be penetrated into speed in the absorber (66).
Physiological hydration cover layer also is suitable for using.The term here " physiological hydration " is meant when absorbent commodity (40) is placed in the environment of vestibule, can suitably keep the covering layer material of moist contact surface between the tissue of vestibule (42) and absorbent commodity (40).The placement that people are desirably in fiber in the moist tissue environment of vestibule or like fibrous structure is comfortable, and its effect is self-evident, and promptly absorbent commodity holds the body fluid that flows out vestibule and with the body fluid absorber (66) that leads.Therefore, on traditional sense, there is not the cover layer of " hydration " (cover layer of this moment is exsiccant) can keep (can not hinder maintenance at least) vestibule (interior) required suitable humidity level or balance before the application.
Handle at least a portion surface of cover layer (62) so that it is more hydrophilic with surfactant.The result can make body fluid be easier to see through this cover layer (62).Surfactant also can reduce the probability that body fluid such as menstruation are overflowed cover layer (62) rather than absorbed by absorber (66).Make surfactant be evenly distributed at least a portion upper surface of cover layer (62) substantially with suitable method, this cover layer covers the upper surface of absorber (66).
Cover layer (62) and absorber (66) can be by the adjacent surface of mutual bonding all or part with being connected of being maintained fixed.Can use various methods known to those skilled in the art realizes this fixedly connected.The example of this method comprises, but be not limited only to, the binding agent of applied in various forms between two adjacent surfaces, the adjacently situated surfaces of at least a portion absorber is twined mutually with the adjacently situated surfaces of part of covering layer, with the adjacently situated surfaces of at least a portion absorber and the adjacently situated surfaces fusion of part of covering layer.
Cover layer (62) typically is positioned at the upper surface of absorber (66), but also can select around and partially or entirely around absorber.Can select, cover layer (62) and barrier layer (64) have the periphery that extends outward absorber (66) periphery, and the periphery coupled together constitute edge (84), at least as shown in Figure 5.Use known technology, for example, bonding, crimping, heat seal or similar techniques.Edge (84) can wholely constitute so that the whole periphery of absorber (66) is limited by its junction, and perhaps cover layer (62) can partly peripherally be connected with barrier layer (64).In order to reduce stimulation and/or the uncomfortable probability to the wearer of absorbent commodity (40), the zone of expectation edge (84) and the absorbent commodity that is close to the edge at least is soft, compressible and complies with.People expect that the width at any edge (84) of this structure is not more than about 10mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 9mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 8mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 2mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 1mm.In addition, the width at any edge (84) of this structure is not less than about 0.5mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 1mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 2mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 8mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not less than about 9mm.Like this, although the approximate width at edge can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the interior absorbent commodity of women wearer vestibule (42) (40), the edge of this structure (84) can have from being not less than about 0.5mm to the width range that is not more than 10mm.In other pattern, cover layer (62) and/or barrier layer (64) can have a periphery that links to each other with the periphery of absorber (66).
Selectively, an ideal bending axis (F) is positioned on vertical main shaft of absorber (66) or is parallel to vertical main shaft (L).Ideal bending axis (F) promptly extends and its distance with vertical main shaft (L) is not more than about 10mm along directions X normally longitudinally; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 9mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 8mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 2mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 1mm.Desirable is that ideal bending axis (F) longitudinally main shaft (L) is arranged.The typically minimum longitudinal extension of ideal bending axis (F) is not less than absorber (66) greatest length (L Max) about 90%; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 80%; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 70%; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 60%; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 50%; Maybe can select to be not less than absorber (66) greatest length (L Max) about 40%.Ideal bending axis (F) typically longitudinal extension is not more than absorber (66) greatest length (L Max) about 50%; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 60%; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 70%; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 80%; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 90%; Maybe can select to be not less than absorber (66) greatest length (L Max) 100%.Ideal bending axis (F) can be naturally obtains from size, shape and/or the structure of absorber (66), or absorber can have a softish axle or zone to obtain ideal bending axis.Described bending axis (F) also can be made of any technology well known by persons skilled in the art, comprising: for example indentation, pre-folded, otch, embossing or similar techniques.Though ideal bending axis (F) described here is positioned at absorber (66), but those skilled in the art will appreciate that ideal bending axis (F) can form arbitrarily in cover layer (62), barrier layer (64) and/or absorber, cover layer and barrier layer, cover layer and absorber or barrier layer and absorber.If there is bending axis, ideal bending axis (F) typically can make absorbent commodity (40) be easier to fold before in being positioned over women wearer vestibule.
Absorbent commodity (40) also has a thickness, footpath degree or height (H), and shown in Figure 4 and 5, this thickness is to measure along a line that is basically parallel to the Z axle at least.The minimum thickness of absorbent commodity (40) typically is and is not less than about 9mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 8mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 2mm; Can be chosen as and be not less than about 1mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not less than about 0.5mm.The maximum ga(u)ge of absorbent commodity (40) typically is and is not more than about 1mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 2mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 3mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 4mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 5mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 6mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 7mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 8mm; Can be chosen as and be not more than about 9mm; Perhaps can be chosen as and be not more than about 10mm.Like this, although the approximate thickness of absorbent commodity can change according to the master-plan and the desired location of the interior absorbent commodity of women wearer vestibule (42) (40), the thickness of absorbent commodity (40) is about 10mm or littler.
Absorbent commodity (40) is being put into women wearer vestibule (42) before, and typically vertical main shaft (L) is gone up or to be parallel to of vertical main shaft (L) folding along being positioned at, at least shown in Figure 12,13 and 14.When along this axle when folding, absorbent commodity (40) will form a recess (92), and it can protect wearer's finger can not to be made dirty when absorbent commodity being put into vestibule (42).In a single day absorbent commodity (40) is inserted into, thereby just can have unfolded trend to be full of vestibule and the upper surface of absorbent commodity and the tissue in the vestibule (42) are kept in touch.Absorbent commodity (40) can be resiliently biased along its folding axle, thereby increased the unfolded trend of absorbent commodity.Can select, the absorber (66) of absorbent commodity (40) can be thicker along its vertical edge, shown in Figure 11 and 12, therefore also shown the bias voltage effect.If desired, typically can make the tissue of the upper surface contact vestibule (42) of absorbent commodity (40).But absorbent commodity described here (40) keeps and the contacting of women wearer vestibule (42) tissue without any need for additional feature.The natural moist surface of vestibule (42) tissue typically demonstrates the trend that maintenance contacts with the upper surface of absorbent commodity (40).
As mentioned above, the wearer can put into absorbent commodity in vestibule (42) before, goes up or be parallel to folding this absorbent commodity (40) of vertical main shaft (L) along being positioned at vertical main shaft (L).Therefore, the wearer can hold folding absorbent commodity (40) in vertical side, at least as shown in figure 14.Then, apply a power by the wearer with a finger that is positioned at recess (92) or a plurality of finger absorbent commodity (40) is put into vestibule (42), wherein this recess is to be formed by folding absorbent commodity.
Though the above is putting into absorbent commodity in women wearer vestibule (42) before typically, vertical main shaft (L) is gone up or to be parallel to of vertical main shaft (L) folding along being positioned at, but also can go up or be parallel to a folding absorbent commodity (40) of horizontal main shaft (T) along being positioned at horizontal main shaft (T).When along the latter when folding, absorbent commodity (40) still typically will form a recess (92), and it can protect wearer's finger can not to be made dirty when absorbent commodity being put into vestibule (42).In a single day absorbent commodity (40) is inserted into, thereby just can have unfolded trend to be full of vestibule and the upper surface of absorbent commodity and the tissue in the vestibule (42) are kept in touch.Absorbent commodity (40) can along its be folded the axle fexible bias pressure, thereby increased the unfolded trend of absorbent commodity.Can select, the absorber of absorbent commodity (40) can be thicker along transverse end surface (76,78), so it also has the bias voltage effect.If desired, typically can make the tissue of the upper surface contact vestibule (42) of absorbent commodity (40).But absorbent commodity described here (40) keeps and the contacting of the tissue of women wearer vestibule (42) without any need for additional feature.The moist surface of vestibule (42) tissue nature typically has the trend that maintenance contacts with the upper surface of absorbent commodity (40).
At least one admits the zone of finger to be applicable to and various absorbent commodities (40), comprises that Labial pad described here uses together, and this regional size is enough to hold at least a portion of at least one finger of women wearer.In one embodiment, admit the zone of finger to form by at least one tape member (86).Band (86) has a length, a width and relative end.Band (86) typically is positioned at the lower surface of absorbent commodity (40) at least, thereby makes its length be arranged essentially parallel to main shaft (being vertical main shaft (L) or horizontal main shaft (T)).Band (86) can be with absorbent commodity (40) integrally formed or independent parts that are fastened or connected to absorbent commodity.Vocabulary " integrally formed " is meant that band (86) is not connected on the absorbent commodity (40), but the extension of cover layer (62), barrier layer (64) and/or absorber (66), cover layer and barrier layer, cover layer and absorber or barrier layer and absorber.Usually, band (86) is independent parts.When band (86) was independent parts, at least a portion of each opposite end of band (86) was connected at least a portion of absorbent commodity (40).Typically, at least a portion of each opposite end of band (86) is connected at least a portion of absorbent commodity (40) lower surface.
