STRETCH BREATHABLE PROTECTIVE ABSORBENT ARTICLE USING TRI-LAMINATE

摘要

A disposable absorbent article of a brief or pull-up type incorporates a breathable laminate material composed of three layers. The laminate is an elastic material and may include non-elastic portions created by deactivating the material. The laminate material may be made breathable by the ultrasonic bonding process used to create the laminate. The absorbent article includes an absorbent assembly that overlaps with the non-elastic portions of the laminate.
