CA 2208424

Absorbent articles are provided having a bolstering waist feature. In its preferred embodiment, the bolstering waist feature expands upon exposure to aqueous body liquids effectively tightening the diaper by stretching of the waist regions of the absorbent article. There is a resulting increase in the contractive forces in the band of lateral tension in the waist regions of the absorbent article with a corresponding reduction in the risk of waist leakage. The bolstering waist feature further provides a member resisting longitudinal bending in the waist regions of the absorbent article, particularly adjacent to a wearer's belly. This member can also act as a "strut" resisting the forces, such as those due to gravity, which tend to cause an absorbent article to slide downward. The absorbent article is additionally provided with an absorbent core comprising at least a redistribution component that is preferably capable of redistributing aqueous body liquids from the crotch region to the waist regions of the absorbent article. The redistribution component is in effective fluid communication with the bolstering waist feature.

L'invention concerne des articles absorbants présentant une caractéristique de rembourrage à la ceinture. Dans son mode de réalisation préféré, la ceinture se dilate lorsqu'elle est exposée à des liquides corporels aqueux, ce qui resserre la couche par étirage des régions de la ceinture de l'article absorbant. Ceci augmente les forces de contraction dans la bande de tension latérale des régions de la ceinture de l'article absorbant et, de ce fait, diminue les risques de fuite au niveau de la ceinture. Le rembourrage de la ceinture constitue, de plus, un élément résistant à l'incurvation longitudinale dans les régions de la ceinture dudit article, en particulier, les régions contiguës à l'abdomen. Cet élément peut également exercer un effet de résistance contre les forces, telles que la force de gravité, qui tendent à provoquer le glissement de l'article absorbant vers le bas. Cet article est, de plus, pourvu d'une partie centrale absorbante comportant au moins un élément de redistribution capable, de préférence, de redistribuer les liquides corporels aqueux depuis la région de l'entrejambe vers les régions de la ceinture de l'article. Cet élément de redistribution se trouve en communication liquide efficace avec le rembourrage de la ceinture.
