ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH APERTURED BACKSHEET AND FIBROUS SUPER ABSORBENT MATERIAL

摘要

The present invention relates to breathable absorbent articles like baby diapers, adult incontinence articles and in particular to sanitary napkins or pantyliner. According to the present invention, the articles are provided with an apertured backsheet for breathability. Typically such aperture backsheets are rendered substantially liquid impermeable in order to prevent soiling through the backsheet of the article. The absorbent core of absorbent article comprises in particular super-absorbent materials which transform the absolved liquid into a solid or semi-solid form such as a gel. Such super-absorbent materials are particularly desirable for benefits to the breathable absorbent articles in which they are used. However, they are typically provided in granular form. In combination with an apertured backsheet this form is prone to a particle loss through the apertures in the backsheet. Hence the present invention relates to breathable absorbent articles comprising non-granular super-absorbent material, preferably fibrous super-absorbent material.
