A method of marking an absorbent article, the absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious top sheet, a liquid impervious back sheet, and an absorbent body enclosed there between, the method comprising:
- providing at least one strip on the back sheet, the strip having a width of between 1 and 6 cm, wherein a color or tint of the strip is different from the rest of the back sheet and wherein the color or tint of the strip is selected so as to be an indication of product size or product absorption capacity of the absorbent article;
- and
- arranging a wetness indicator on or adjacent the at least one strip on the inside of the liquid impervious back sheet so that the wetness indicator is visible through the back sheet and wherein the color or tint of the strip that is an indication of product size or product absorption capacity facilitates identification of the location of the wetness indicator.
A method comprising:
- providing an absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious top sheet, a liquid impervious back sheet, an absorbent body enclosed there between, the liquid-impervious back sheet comprising a strip part and a remaining part, the strip part being an integral part of the back sheet, the strip part having a different color than the remaining part of the back sheet, and a wetness indicator arranged at an inside of the liquid impervious back sheet in a pattern and being visible through the back sheet, wherein the wetness indicator is disposed on or adjacent to the strip part,
- identifying the location of the wetness indicator on or adjacent to the strip part, wherein the identification of the location of the wetness indicator is facilitated by the strip part having a different color than the remaining part of the back sheet,
- identifying the size or absorption capacity of the article by the color of the strip that is used to facilitate the identification of the location of the wetness indicator, wherein the identification of the size or absorption capacity of the article is facilitated by the color of the strip part that is used to facilitate the identification of the location of the wetness indicator also being an indicia of size or absorption capacity of the article.
