ABSORBENT ARTICLE HAVING IMPROVED RESILIENCY AT BODY CONTACTING SURFACE

摘要

The present invention is directed to an absorbent article having a body contacting surface. In one aspect of the invention, at least a portion of the body contacting surface has a resilient force which is less than about 20 gf at 3 mm in depth, about 40 gf at 5 mm in depth, or about 100 gf at 10 mm in depth. The invention answers the need for an absorbent article that can provide improved performance for preventing a leakage of body discharges by improved compressibility and resiliency. The invention also answers the need for an absorbent article that can provide an improved comfortable feel at the perineum or urogenital area while keeping a better fit to wearer's body by similar means.
