Abstract

Disclosed is the use of an adhesive to prepare a disposable absorbent product intended for the absorption of liquids such as body liquids. It is generally desired that the adhesive exhibits a storage modulus greater than about 1 x 10<SP>6</SP> dynes per square centimeter across the temperature range of about 0 {F to about 130 {F. The use of such an adhesive results in a reduced visibility of the adhesive through the outer sheets, such as breathable films, of a disposable absorbent product to a wearer or user, thereby improving the aesthetics of the disposable absorbent product.
