DIAPER WITH IMPROVED SHAPE AND COMFORT

摘要

A diaper is disclosed. The diaper may have a topsheet, backsheet and absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet; a pair of longitudinal side edges, a pair of longitudinally extending barrier cuffs, and a transverse separator connecting the barrier cuffs. Each barrier cuff may have a proximal attached edge and a distal edge. The distal edge along its length may be disposed at differing distances from first and second points along a longitudinal centerline of the diaper, when the diaper is in a flat position.

主权项

1. An infant or adult diaper having a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline perpendicular to the longitudinal centerline, wherein the diaper comprises a topsheet and a backsheet and positioned therein between an absorbent core, and a first longitudinally extending elastic cuff and second longitudinally extending elastic cuff , the first and the second elastic cuff being positioned on either longitudinal side of the topsheet and opposing each other, and wherein the diaper has a crotch region, positioned in between a front region and a back region and the first and the second longitudinally extending elastic cuff each have a crotch region, positioned in between a front region and a back region, these regions of the longitudinally extending elastic cuffs being positioned in the respective regions of the diaper, and the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff and the second longitudinally extending elastic cuff each have a proximal edge, at which the respective longitudinally extending elastic cuff is attached to the diaper and the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff and the second longitudinally extending elastic cuff each have a distal edge , at least the crotch region of which is not attached to the diaper and forms a free flap and wherein the diaper comprises a transverse separator being attached to the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff and the second longitudinally extending elastic cuff , wherein each of the least one of longitudinally extending elastic cuffs has a distance to the longitudinal centerline at each point on the longitudinal centerline and wherein for at least the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff there is at least one first point on the longitudinal centerline where the distal edge of the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff the has a first distance to longitudinal centerline and there is at least one second point on the longitudinal centerline where the distal edge of the first longitudinally extending elastic cuff the has a second distance to longitudinal centerline the and wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance when the diaper is in a flat position.
