Flexible and breathable absorbent articles and their fixation to undergarments

摘要

The present invention relates to breathable absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, and incontinence pads which are adhered to an undergarment during use. More particularly the present invention relates to articles which have an air permeable or breathable backsheet and which have a flexibility in a longitudinal direction and which by way of a specific adhesive configuration are particularly well adherable to the undergarment in order to provide improved comfort to the wearer of the article. The backsheet comprises an outer fibrous fabric layer composed of polymeric fibres, and an inner microporous polymeric film layer. Both layers are hydrophobic and gas-permeable. The panty liner embodiment is very thin; in the range of 0,5mm to 1,5mm. <IMAGE>
