Abstract
An absorbent article such as a diaper, pant diaper, adult incontinence guard, sanitary napkin and the like contains a skin conditioning agent in at least a portion of the article so as to be transferable to the skin of the wearer. The skin conditioning agent is contained in a hydrogel foam material (9; 19; 20) intended to be applied in skin contact with the wearer, either directly or indirectly via a liquid permeable material (2).
Claims5
An absorbent article comprising:
- A liquid permeable topsheet,
- A liquid impermeable backsheet,
- an absorbent body enclosed therebetween,
- a hydrogel foam made from a hydrogel material to be applied in contact with the skin of a wearer during use, and
- a skin conditioning agent contained in the hydrogel foam to be applied in skin contact with the wearer in such a manner that the skin conditioning agent is transferable to the skin when the hydrogel foam is applied in contact with skin,
- wherein the hydrogel foam contains between 5 and 95% by weight skin conditioning agent, calculated on the combined weight of hydrogel foam and skin conditioning agent,
- wherein the hydrogel foam containing the skin conditioning agent forms part of or constitutes an elastic member in the article.
