An absorbent article including a temperature sensor, and at least one temperature change material arranged such that it is capable of affecting a temperature change due to a supply of excrement, and such that said temperature sensor is capable of being responsive to said affected temperature change. Also disclosed is a system for detecting a supply of excrement into an absorbent article, the system including an absorbent article being arranged to generate an output signal representative of the temperature, and a processing unit adapted to process an output signal generated by the temperature sensor. The processing unit is adapted to determine a change of temperature, wherein said change of temperature is affected by the temperature change material, and to detect a supply of excrement into the absorbent article based on the change of temperature.
An absorbent article comprising:
A kit comprising an absorbent article and a temperature sensor, wherein said absorbent article comprises a temperature sensor retaining portion configured to retain the temperature sensor within the absorbent article and at least one temperature change material arranged such that it is capable of affecting a temperature change due to a supply of excrement, and wherein said temperature sensor is capable of providing an electronic response to said affected temperature change when arranged in contact with said absorbent article.
