AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE INCORPORATING LIQUID BARRIERS WITH SEALING COATING

摘要

An oblong absorbent article that includes a liquid-impermeable bottom sheet, and upper liquid-permeable sheet and an absorbent body disposed between these sheets, and on each side of the longitudinal center line of the upper sheet at least one longitudinal elastic liquid barrier having at least the free edge treated with a non-adhesive sealing medium which partly fills out the pores formed between the free edge and the abutment surface on the wearer, and/or which, when the article is donned, increases, around said abutment surface, the wetting angle of the liquid to the skin. An absorbent article that includes an essentially liquid-impermeable top sheet above an absorbent body enclosed between an upper liquid-permeable sheet and a liquid-impermeable sheet, the top sheet being provided with elastic for shaping the article to the wearer's body and incorporating apertures intended to register with the anus and the urethra orifice of a wearer in use, around which apertures elastically puckered sealing edges are disposed, at least one sealing edge being coated with a sealing medium.
