Wearable absorbent articles with differing ear shapes

摘要

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an array of front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent articles with differing ear shapes. Each different ear shape corresponds to a body shape and activity level for a particular wearer. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a first article, sized for a wearer of a first size, has a first side ear with a first side ear upper edge with concave portions, and a second article, sized for a wearer of a second size that is greater than the first size, has a second side ear with a second side ear upper edge with convex portions.

主权项

1. An array of front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent articles, the array comprising:
a first front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent article including a first side ear having a first side ear end region with a first end region upper edge portion, the first end region upper edge portion having a first end region upper edge overall lateral dimension, an inboard endpoint, and an outboard endpoint, wherein the first end region upper edge portion has at least one first concave portion forming a first total concave lateral dimension that is at least 25% of the first end region upper edge overall lateral dimension, and from the inboard endpoint to the laterally outboard end, the first end region upper edge portion only has slopes less than or equal to zero; and a second front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent article including a second side ear having a second side ear end region with a second end region upper edge portion, wherein the second end region upper edge portion having a second end region upper edge overall lateral dimension, and wherein the second end region upper edge portion has at least one second convex portion forming a second total convex lateral dimension that is at least 25% of the second end region upper edge overall lateral dimension, wherein the second wearer size is one greater than the first wearer size; the first front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent article includes a first chassis with a first back waist edge and a first overall longitudinal chassis length, the first chassis is joined to the first side ear, the first side ear has a first attachment area, the first back waist edge has a first farthest longitudinally inboard back waist edge point, the first attachment area has a first farthest longitudinally outboard attachment area point, the first article has a first chassis edge to attachment edge distance measured longitudinally from the first farthest longitudinally inboard back waist edge point to the first farthest longitudinally outboard attachment area point, and the first article has a first chassis edge to attachment edge percentage, which is the first chassis edge to attachment edge distance expressed as a percentage of the first overall longitudinal chassis length; and the second front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent article includes a second chassis with a second back waist edge and a second overall longitudinal chassis length, the second chassis is joined to the second side ear, the second side ear has a second attachment area, the second back waist edge has a second farthest longitudinally inboard back waist edge point, the second attachment area has a second farthest longitudinally outboard attachment area point, the second article has a second chassis edge to attachment edge distance measured longitudinally from the second farthest longitudinally inboard back waist edge point to the second farthest longitudinally outboard attachment area point, and the second article has a second chassis edge to attachment edge percentage, which is the second chassis edge to attachment edge distance expressed as a percentage of the second overall longitudinal chassis length; wherein the first chassis edge to attachment edge percentage is at least 1.5 percentage points greater than the second chassis edge to attachment edge percentage.
