Absorbent articles providing improved fit when Wet.

摘要

The present invention relates to an absorbent article, such as for use in hygienic applications, which has an ultimate fluid storage region, and a fluid distribution region positioned between the ultimate storage region and the garment oriented surface of the article, which is in fluid communication with the ultimate fluid storage region, whereby the ultimate fluid storage region comprises material which has (1) a Capillary Sorption Desorption Capacity at 100 cm (CSDC 100) of at least 10 g/g; which further has (2) a Capillary Sorption Desorption Capacity at 0 cm (CSDC 0) higher than said CSDC 100 and which thereby has (3) a Loosely Bound Liquid Capacity (LBLC) as the difference between (CSDC 0 and CSDC 100); and which has (4) a Capillary Sorption Desorption Release Height when 50 % of said LBLC are released (CSDRH 50) of less than 60 cm. Further, the liquid distribution layer comprises material having a Capillary Sorption Absorption Height at 30 % of its maximum capacity (CSAH 30) of at least 35 cm. Particularly suitable distribution material for the present invention can be foam materials, preferably polymeric foam derived from high internal phase water-in-oil emulsions.
