ABSTANDSHALTER FÜR HYGIENISCHE, ABSORBIERENDE EINWEGARTIKEL, SOWIE ABSORBIERENDER EINWEGARTIKEL MIT EINEM SOLCHEN ABSTANDSHALTER

摘要

A spacer for use in a disposable absorbent article. The spacer is symmetric about a longitudinal axis and has two transversely oriented springs generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The transversely oriented springs have different spring rates, so that transverse compression caused by the wearer's thighs may be readily accommodated, yet the spacer remain open to receive fecal material. The spacer may be advantageously used in a disposable absorbent article having a void space between the topsheet and the core, and maintain this void space under the weight of the wearer.
