Diapers for non-humans including sectioned absorbent core

A diaper for a non-human, the diaper comprising:

• a chassis configured to form two leg openings when the diaper is placed on a non-human in a wear configuration;
• and
• an absorbent core attached to the chassis and comprising at least five absorbent sections and a plurality of seals separating the absorbent sections from each other, wherein each absorbent section includes a superabsorbent polymer (SAP) material that is a range of 15% to 20% of a total SAP load of the diaper, at least two of the absorbent sections extending along each leg opening, wherein the leg openings have an elliptical shape when the diaper is placed on the non-human in the wear configuration;
• wherein a first, second, fourth, and fifth absorbent section of the at least five absorbent sections each have a first width and a first length;
• wherein a third absorbent section of the at least five absorbent sections has a second width and a second length;
• wherein the first width and the second width are substantially equal;
• and
• wherein the second length is greater than the first length.

A method of making an absorbent core for a diaper for a nonhuman, the method comprising:

• depositing a superabsorbent polymer in zones of the absorbent core to form a total superabsorbent polymer (SAP) load of the absorbent core, wherein the zones include:
• a first zone including a first absorbent section and a second absorbent section, wherein the first absorbent section and the second absorbent section each include a range of 15% to 20% of the total SAP load;
• a second zone including a third absorbent section including a range of 15% to 20% of the total SAP load;
• and
• a third zone including a fourth absorbent section and a fifth absorbent section, wherein the fourth absorbent section and the fifth absorbent section each include a range of 15% to 20% of the total SAP load, the second zone is between the first zone and the third zone;
• and
• forming seals around the first absorbent section, the second absorbent section, the third absorbent section, the fourth absorbent section, and the fifth absorbent section, wherein one of the seals extends through the first zone between the first absorbent section and the second absorbent section and another of the seals extends through the third zone between the fourth absorbent section and the fifth absorbent section;
• wherein each of the first, second, fourth, and fifth absorbent sections have a first width and a first length;
• wherein the third absorbent section has a second width and a second length;
• wherein the first width and the second width are substantially equal;
• and
• wherein the second length is greater than the first length.
