Body attached absorbent article donning system

摘要

An absorbent article has attachment regions having body adhesive. The attachment regions have a protected condition where the body adhesive is fully covered. The attachment regions are adapted to transition from the protected condition to a fixed donning condition where a portion of the body adhesive is exposed and a portion of the body adhesive is covered. The attachment regions are adapted to transition from the fixed donning condition to a fully exposed condition where the body adhesive is fully exposed.

1. An absorbent article comprising,
a shell and an absorbent component, wherein the shell defines, in a longitudinal direction, an anterior attachment region, an anterior separation zone, an absorbent component region, a posterior separation zone, and a posterior attachment region, wherein the anterior separation zone separates the anterior attachment region from the absorbent component region and wherein the posterior separation zone separates the posterior attachment region from the absorbent component region; the anterior attachment region comprising an anterior body adhesive and defining a protected condition wherein the anterior body adhesive is fully covered by an anterior peel strip comprising an anterior finger tab and an anterior hinge; the anterior attachment region being adapted to transition from the protected condition to a fixed donning condition wherein a first portion of the anterior peel strip is folded along the anterior hinge to overlay a second portion of the anterior peel strip to define the fixed donning condition; in the fixed donning condition a portion of the anterior body adhesive is exposed and a portion of the anterior body adhesive is covered by the one or more anterior peel strips; the anterior attachment region being adapted to transition from the fixed donning condition to a fully exposed condition; in the fully exposed condition the anterior body adhesive is fully exposed; the posterior attachment region comprising a posterior body adhesive and defining a protected condition wherein the posterior body adhesive is fully covered by a posterior peel strip comprising a posterior finger tab and a posterior hinge; the posterior attachment region being adapted to transition from the protected condition to a fixed donning condition wherein a first portion of the posterior peel strip is folded along the posterior hinge to overlay a second portion of the posterior peel strip to define the fixed donning condition; in the fixed donning condition a portion of the posterior body adhesive is exposed and a portion of the posterior body adhesive is covered by the one or more posterior peel strips; the posterior attachment region being adapted to transition from the fixed donning condition to a fully exposed condition; in the fully exposed condition the posterior body adhesive is fully exposed; and at least one of the anterior separation zone and the posterior separation zone being devoid of absorbent material and body adhesive.
