Definitions

  • the materials used in the absorbent 20 are designed to absorb body exudates, including menstrual fluids, blood and urine. Suitable materials include wood pulp fluff, rayon, cotton and meltblown polymer, such as polyester, polypropylene or coform cellulose sponge, hydrophilic synthetic sponge, such as polyurethane, and combinations thereof. A preferred material is wood fluff, for it is low in cost, relatively easy to form and has good absorbency. Coform is an air-formed combination of meltblown polymers, such as polypropylene, and absorbent staple fibers, such as cellulose. The capacity of the absorbent 20 may be varied depending upon the intended usage of the final product.
  • FIGs. 7-9 another embodiment of a sanitary napkin 200 is shown.
  • the sanitary napkin 200 is similar to that described above for Figs. 4-6.
  • the attachment panels 102 and 104 are secured to the second major surface 18 at a location that generally coincides with or is inward from the longitudinal side edge 28 and 29.
  • a point or location of securement of the fixed portion 106 of the panels 102 and 104 being generally coincident to or inward from the longitudinal side edge 28 or 29 of the sanitary napkin 100 and 200, it is meant the point of affixation closest to the longitudinal edge 28 or 29.
  • the embodiment illustrated in Figs. 7-9 differs from the embodiments of Figs.
  • the free portion 108 of the attachment panels 102 and 104 extends outward relative to the longitudinal edge 28 or 29.
  • the free portion 108 of at least one and preferably both attachment panels 102 and 104 are provided with an attachment device 110 for securement of each attachment panel 102 and 104 when they are folded over the respective leg edge of the undergarment crotch portion.
  • the attachment panels 102 and 104 are configured to encircle the crotch portion of the wearer's undergarments during use.
  • the securement device 110 is positioned on the free portion 108 so that at least a portion of the attachment panel 102 and 104 may be secured together under the outer crotch portion of the undergarment.
  • the securement device 110 can be a pressure-sensitive adhesive, cohesives or mechanical fasteners, such as, hook-and-loop materials, snaps, buttons and the like.
  • the free portion 322 and 323 of panels 316 and 318 are sufficiently flexible to allow each panel 316 and 318 to be positioned around a leg edge of the crotch portion of a wearer's undergarment without appreciably altering the natural path of the leg edge.
  • the precise shape of each panel 316 and 318, as well as the overall shape of the sanitary napkin 300, is not critical to the invention to the extent that it does not interfere with the body adhesive 312 in securing the sanitary napkin 300 to the wearer. Accordingly, depending upon the intended usage of the sanitary napkin 300, the shape of the sanitary napkin 300 and the panels 316 and 318 can be readily selected by those skilled in the art without undue experimentation.
  • the panels 316 and 318 can be asymmetrically positioned along the longitudinal axis of the sanitary napkin, but preferably, the panels 316 and 318 are symmetrically disposed so that the panels 316 and 318 are mirror images of each other.
