A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ABSORBENT ARTICLE

摘要

A method of manufacturing an absorbent article which includes attaching an apertured liner to a topsheet layer of the article. The method includes providing an absorbent article chassis having a liquid permeable topsheet layer, a backsheet layer and an absorbent structure positioned therebetween. The absorbent article has a front waist section, a rear waist section and an intermediate section interconnecting the two waist sections. The apertured liner is attached to the topsheet layer in a position whereby the apertured liner at least partially defines a rear portion of the bodyside surface of the article and the topsheet layer at least partially defines a front portion of the bodyside surface. The apertured liner defines a fecal target zone and enhances the ability of the absorbent article to contain low viscosity fecal materials and separate such materials from the skin of the wearer. The apertured liner may be formed by laminating an apertured film to a low density fibrous material. The method may also include positioning an absorbent body below the apertured liner. A portion or all of the apertured liner may overlay the topsheet layer and the absorbent body can be positioned between the apertured liner and the topsheet layer.
