Abstract
The present invention relates to absorbent articles which provide superior protection against wet through under impact or sustained pressure, and high convective air flow therethrough for skin health and comfort benefits. In particular, the present invention relates to an absorbent article comprising an absorbent core and an absorbent barrier structure, wherein the absorbent barrier structure has a hydrohead value of at least about 10 mBars; a convective air permeability of at least about 10 Darcy/mm; and a liquid impact transmission value of less than about 20 g/m2.
Claims28
An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core and an absorbent barrier structure, wherein the absorbent barrier structure has
- a hydrohead value of at least about 10 mBars;
- a convective air permeability of at least about 10 Darcy/mm;
- and
- a liquid impact transmission value of less than about 20 g/m2 and wherein said absorbent barrier structure is substantially free of a film.
An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core and a barrier structure, wherein the
- barrier structure has
- a convective air permeability of greater than about 10 Darcy/mm;
- a liquid impact transmission value of less than about 20 g/m2;
- and
- a post-compression air permeability decrease of no more than about 35%
- and wherein said absorbent barrier structure is substantially free of a film.
