Absorbierender Artikel und Methode zur Herstellung

摘要

A diaper (10) or absorbent article comprising a topsheet (12), a backsheet (14), an absorbent (16) between the topsheet and backsheet, and an elevating device (26) for spacing the topsheet (12) above the absorbent (16) to form a pocket-like shape. The topsheet (12) can have a generally U-shaped opening (64) and the absorbent can have a hole (22) therein, both of which receive and isolate waste material from the wearer. The absorbent side edges (86) can have portions that are gatherable by elastic members attached in a stretched condition.
