STABILIZED ABSORBENT MATERIAL AND SYSTEMS FOR PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS HAVING CONTROLLED PLACEMENT OF VISCO-ELASTIC FLUIDS

摘要

There is provided a distribution material for personal care products which isa fabricwhich wicks artificial menses according to a horizontal wicking test adistance of about 1 inchin less than about 1.5 minutes. Materials meeting this performance criteriagenerally have apore size distribution with a high percentage (usually more than 50 percent)of pore diametersbetween about 80 and 400 microns and a density below about 0.15 g/cc. There isalso provided a personal care product system having adistribution/retention layer and a pad shaping layer wherein each layer has astain length ratio of 0.5 or less and the distribution/retentionlayer has a saturation profile of 4 or less.
