ABSORBENT ARTICLES WITH ABSORBENT PAD GAPPING

摘要

An absorbent article has an outer cover adapted to stretch upon application of a load by a first amount. A liquid and vapor permeable bodyside liner defines a bodyfacing surface of the article and is generally superposed and coextensive with the outer cover. The bodyside liner is adapted to stretch upon application of the load by a second amount. An absorbent body is located between the bodyside liner and the outer cover and is generally movable with the outer cover upon stretching of the outer cover. The first amount of stretch of the outer cover is greater than the second amount of stretch of the bodyside liner whereby a gap is formed between the bodyside liner and the absorbent body facilitating the flow of air and vapor through the bodyside liner in a loaded condition of the absorbent body. The bodyside liner is relatively more resilient when stretched than the outer cover.
