Attachment pattern for undergarment attached absorbent articles

摘要

An adhesive pattern for use in absorbent feminine care articles is generally disclosed. The adhesive is applied in a specific pattern to removably secure the article to the crotch portion of an undergarment during use. The use of a particular adhesive pattern has been found by the present inventors to improve performance of the undergarment attached absorbent article during use. The pattern includes separating the adhesive applied to the front portion, the middle portion, and the back portion at the fold lines of the undergarment attached absorbent article that are substantially free from adhesive. This break in the machine direction (i.e., the X direction defining the length of the article) of the undergarment attached absorbent article inhibits "zippering" of the adhesive. Additionally, the middle portion of the undergarment attached absorbent article contains a specifically placed adhesive to enhance the performance and comfort of the undergarment attached absorbent article during use.
