Abstract
An absorbent article having a front section, a central section and a rear section located along a longitudinal axis is described. A first pattern of adhesive is applied to the central section of a garment facing surface of the backsheet. The first pattern of adhesive has a first plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on a first side of the central longitudinal axis. A second plurality of stripes extends substantially parallel to the transverse axis on a second side of the central longitudinal axis. A first gap between the first plurality of stripes and the second plurality of stripes extends over the central longitudinal axis.
Claims19
An absorbent article having a central longitudinal axis and a transverse axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the absorbent article comprising:
- a) a front section, a central section and a rear section located along the longitudinal axis;
- b) a backsheet having a garment facing surface;
- c) a first pattern of fastening adhesive applied to the central section of the garment facing surface of the backsheet, the first pattern of adhesive comprising:
- i) a first plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on a first side of the central longitudinal axis;
- ii) a second plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on a second side of the central longitudinal axis;
- and
- iii) a first gap between the first plurality of stripes and the second plurality of stripes, wherein the first gap extends over the central longitudinal axis;
- and
- d) a second pattern of fastening adhesive applied to the front section of the garment facing surface of the backsheet, the second pattern of adhesive comprising:
- i) a third plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the first side of the central longitudinal axis;
- ii) a fourth plurality of stripes extending substantially parallel to the transverse axis on the second side of the central longitudinal axis;
- and
- iii) a second gap between the third plurality of stripes and the fourth plurality of stripes, wherein the gap extends over the central longitudinal axis.
