Abstract
An absorbent article, e.g. a diaper, having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between them, the core having absorbent material provided in 3 regions of the core in certain amounts. The backsheet has a certain basis weight and is provided with a printed surface area. The topsheet has a minimum opacity.
Claims32
An absorbent article comprising a chassis, the chassis comprising a topsheet and a backsheet, the absorbent article further comprising an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet,
- wherein the chassis has a longitudinal dimension and a chassis back waist region, a chassis back waist edge, a chassis front waist region and a chassis crotch region, the chassis back waist region making up about 25% of the longitudinal dimension of the chassis beginning at the chassis back waist edge and extending towards the chassis crotch region,
- wherein the absorbent core has a longitudinal dimension co-extending with the longitudinal dimension of the chassis, the absorbent core having an absorbent core back waist region, an absorbent core front waist region and an absorbent core crotch region, wherein the absorbent core further has an absorbent core back waist edge, the absorbent core back waist edge being longitudinally offset by about 10% or more from the chassis back waist edge, the about 10% offset being based on the longitudinal dimension of the chassis;
- wherein the absorbent core back waist region makes up about 25% of the longitudinal dimension of the absorbent core region and comprises about 0.01 g/cm2 or less of absorbent material;
- wherein the absorbent core front waist region makes up about 25% of the longitudinal dimension of the absorbent core region and comprises about 0.03 g/cm2 or more of absorbent material;
- and
- wherein the absorbent core crotch region makes up about 50% of the longitudinal dimension of the absorbent core region and comprises about 0.04 g/cm2 or more of absorbent material;
- wherein the backsheet comprises a film layer and a nonwoven layer, the nonwoven layer having a basis weight from about 10 g/m2 to about 30 g/m2, and the backsheet has a percentage of printed surface area of about 25% or more, in the chassis back waist region;
- and
- wherein the topsheet has an opacity of about 15% or more.
