Abstract
An absorbent article including a first end region, a second end region and a central region, a plurality of channels arranged in each of the first and second end regions, at least one channel arranged in the central region and extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, the at least one channel being connected at each end thereof to the plurality of channels in the first end region and the plurality of channels in the second end region.
Claims20
An absorbent article, comprising:
- a longitudinally extending centerline;
- a transversely extending centerline;
- a first end region and a second end region;
- a central region arranged between the first and second end regions;
- a first longitudinal edge;
- a second longitudinal edge;
- a first transverse edge;
- a second transverse edge;
- a main absorbent body;
- a first embossing pattern having a first portion arranged in the first end region and a second portion arranged in the second end region, each of the first and second portions including a plurality of interconnected channels, the interconnected channels defining a plurality of body facing protrusions;
- a second embossing pattern in the central region including at least one channel extending in a longitudinal direction of the article provided that the channels extending in the longitudinal direction in the second embossing pattern are in a spaced relationship, the at least one channel intersecting at least one of the plurality of interconnected channels in the first end region and at least one of the plurality of interconnected channels in the second end region,
- wherein said second embossing pattern in the central region is different from the first embossing pattern at least one of the first end region or the second end region.
