Abstract
A disposable absorbent article having an inner surface and an outer surface. The disposable absorbent article includes an absorbent layer disposed toward the inner surface and a film layer adjacent the absorbent layer where the film layer provides at least a portion of the outer surface of the disposable absorbent article with a static coefficient of friction of at least 0.5 as defined by the coefficient of friction test set forth herein.
Claims32
A disposable absorbent article defining an inner surface and an outer surface, said disposable absorbent article comprising:
- an absorbent layer disposed toward said inner surface;
- a film layer adjacent said absorbent layer;
- wherein said film layer provides at least a portion of said outer surface of said disposable absorbent article with a static coefficient of friction of at least 0.5 as defined by the coefficient of friction test set forth herein.
A disposable changing pad defining an inner surface and an outer surface, said changing pad comprising:
- an absorbent layer disposed toward said inner surface;
- a film layer adjacent said absorbent layer;
- wherein said film layer provides at least a portion of said outer surface of said changing pad with a static coefficient of friction of at least 0.5 as defined by the coefficient of friction test set forth herein, and said changing pad defines a CD drapestiffness of less than 6.0 cm as defined by the drape stiffness test set forth herein.
A disposable changing pad defining an inner surface and an outer surface, said changing pad comprising:
- an absorbent layer disposed toward said inner surface;
- a film layer adjacent said absorbent layer;
- wherein said film layer provides at least a portion of said outer surface of said changing pad with a static coefficient of friction of at least 0.5 as defined by the coefficient of friction test set forth herein, said outer surface of the changing pad defines a planar continuity of at least 90%, and said changing pad defines a CD drape stiffness of less than 6.0 cm as defined by the drape stiffness test set forth herein.
A disposable changing pad defining an inner surface and an outer surface, said changing pad comprising:
- an absorbent layer disposed toward said inner surface;
- a film layer adjacent to said absorbent layer and disposed toward said outer surface;
- wherein said changing pad defines a drape friction index of less than 6 cm as determined by the drape friction index test set forth herein.
