Abstract
A disposable undergarment having fastening means comprising a landing area and a pair of fasteners, wherein the landing area and the fasteners include multiple indicia for providing alignment at least in two, bi-directional orientations for horizontal and vertical alignment thereof.
Claims17
A disposable absorbent undergarment comprising:
- an interior-facing topsheet and an exterior-facing backsheet;
- an acquisition and distribution layer adjacent the topsheet;
- an absorbent core adjacent the backsheet;
- a landing area formed on the backsheet, the landing area including:
- a first right alignment landing guide disposed on the right-side of the landing area and having a longitudinally-oriented alignment and a second right alignment landing guide disposed on the right-side of the landing area having a laterally-oriented alignment;
- a first left alignment landing guide disposed on the left-side of the landing area and having a longitudinally-oriented alignment and a second left alignment landing guide disposed on the left-side of the landing area and having a laterally-oriented alignment;
- an intermediate indicia disposed adjacent the landing area and disposed intermediately between the right alignment guides and the left alignment guides, the intermediate indicia comprising a line having a horizontal orientation so that the terminuses of the line are disposed north-to-south for visual alignment of the undergarment relative to the center of the user's anatomy;
- a right-fastener and a left-fastener mutually opposed along the lateral margins of the undergarment, each fastener having a first alignment fastener guide and a second alignment fastener guide, wherein the right-fastener first alignment fastener guide is aligned with the first right alignment landing guide and the second right alignment fastener guide is aligned with the second alignment landing guide, and wherein the left-fastener first alignment fastener guide is aligned with the first left alignment landing guide and the second left alignment fastener guide is aligned with the second left alignment landing guide;
- and,
- wherein the landing area comprises indicia and multiple alignment guides, the indicia for properly aligning the undergarment with an individual's anatomy and the multiple alignment guides for properly aligning the right-fastener and the left-fastener with the multi-directional guides for proper longitudinal and lateral orientations.

A disposable absorbent undergarment comprising:
- an interior-facing topsheet and an exterior-facing backsheet;
- an acquisition and distribution layer adjacent the topsheet;
- an absorbent core adjacent the backsheet;
- the topsheet and backsheet mutually joined along the exterior margin to form an undergarment having a front margin and a back margin in mutual opposition before application to a wearer;
- a landing area formed on the backsheet, the landing area including:
- a first right alignment landing guide disposed on the right-side of the landing area and having a longitudinally-oriented alignment and a second right alignment landing guide disposed on the right-side of the landing area having a laterally-oriented alignment;
- a first left alignment landing guide disposed on the left-side of the landing area and having a longitudinally-oriented alignment and a second left alignment landing guide disposed on the left-side of the landing area and having a laterally-oriented alignment;
- an intermediate indicia disposed adjacent the landing area and disposed intermediately between the right alignment guides and the left alignment guides, the intermediate indicia comprising a line having a horizontal orientation so that the terminuses of the line are disposed north-to-south for visual alignment of the undergarment relative to the center of the user's anatomy;
- a right-fastener and a left-fastener mutually opposed along the lateral margins of the undergarment, each fastener having a first alignment fastener guide and a second alignment fastener guide, wherein the right-fastener first alignment fastener guide is aligned with the first right alignment landing guide and the second right alignment fastener guide is aligned with the second alignment landing guide, and wherein the left-fastener first alignment fastener guide is aligned with the first left alignment landing guide and the second left alignment fastener guide is aligned with the second left alignment landing guide;
- the right-fastener and the left-fastener applied to the landing area to join the back margin to the front margin to assemble the undergarment about the wearer;
- and,
- wherein the landing area comprises indicia and multiple alignment guides, the indicia for properly aligning the undergarment with an individual's anatomy and the multiple alignment guides for properly aligning the right-fastener and the left-fastener with the multi-directional guides for proper longitudinal and lateral orientations.
