Claims23
An array of packages comprising two or more different sizes of absorbent articles, the array comprising:
- a first package comprising a first diaper pant comprising a first size,
- a second package comprising a second diaper pant comprising a second size larger than the first size;
- and
- wherein the first diaper pant and the second diaper pant each comprise:
- a first belt comprising an inner wearer facing surface and an outer garment facing surface, the first belt further comprising a laterally extending inner edge and a laterally extending outer edge, the outer edge positioned longitudinally outward of the inner edge, and laterally spaced first and second longitudinal edges;
- a second belt, wherein laterally opposing end portions of the second belt are connected with laterally opposing end portions of the first belt at a first side seam and a second side seam to form a waist opening;
- a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, and wherein longitudinally opposing end regions of the chassis are connected with the first belt and the second belt;
- wherein a portion of the chassis overlaps the inner wearer facing surface of the first belt to define a chassis overlap region;
- first and second accessibility openings in the first belt positioned in the overlap region;
- first and second frangible pathways in the first belt extending between the first and second accessibility openings and at least one of the inner edge and the outer edge of the first belt;
- and
- wherein lateral distances between the first and second accessibility openings of the first diaper pant and the second diaper pant are substantially the same.
An array of packages comprising two or more different sizes of absorbent articles, the array comprising:
- a first package comprising a first diaper pant comprising a first size,
- a second package comprising a second diaper pant comprising a second size larger than the first size;
- and
- wherein the first diaper pant and the second diaper pant each comprise:
- a first belt comprising an inner wearer facing surface and an outer garment facing surface, the first belt further comprising a laterally extending inner edge and a laterally extending outer edge, the outer edge positioned longitudinally outward of the inner edge, and laterally spaced first and second longitudinal edges;
- a second belt, wherein laterally opposing end portions of the second belt are connected with laterally opposing end portions of the first belt at a first side seam and a second side seam to form a waist opening;
- a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, and wherein longitudinally opposing end regions of the chassis are connected with the first belt and the second belt;
- wherein a portion of the chassis overlaps the inner wearer facing surface of the first belt to define a chassis overlap region;
- first and second frangible pathways in the first belt extending across the overlap region and between the inner edge and the outer edge of the first belt;
- first and second fastener components positioned between the inner wearer facing surface of the first belt and the backsheet in the overlap region adjacent the first and second frangible pathways;
- and
- wherein longitudinal lengths of the first and second fastener components of the first diaper pant and the second diaper pant are substantially the same.
