DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES

摘要

Disposable absorbent articles having an ion-exchanging topsheet are disclosed. By using topsheets which release protons upon exposure to body fluids, absorbent articles such as diapers can be realized which are effective for absorbing discharged body waste and which also are effective for lowering skin pH within the acid range. Lowering of skin pH to values within the range of from about 3.0 to 5.5, can serve to prevent or reduce diaper rash.
