50 An absorbent article, such as a diaper, containing leg cuffs coated with a lotion composition is disclosed. The lotions disclosed in the present invention minimize the abrasion between the cuffs and skin in the area where the cuffs contact the wearer's skin, resulting in less skin irritation. The lotion compositions also reduce the adherence of BM to the skin of the wearer, thereby improving the ease of BM clean up. The lotion composition comprises a plastic or fluid emollient such as mineral oil or petrolatum, an immobilizing agent such as a fatty alcohol or paraffin wax to immobilize the emollient on the surface of the diaperleg cuffs, and optionally a hydrophilic surfactant to improve the processabilityand/or stability of the lotion compositions. Because the emollient is substantially immobilized on the surface of the leg cuff, less lotion is required to impart the desired therapeutic or protective lotion coating benefits.

Le présent brevet vise un article absorbant, une couche par exemple, muni de bordures enduites d'une lotion. Les produits appliqués sous forme de lotion divulgués dans la présente invention minimisent l'usure causée, dans la zone de contact, par le frottement des bordures sur la peau, ce qui réduit l'irritation cutanée. La lotion diminue également l'adhérence des matières fécales à la peau, ce qui facilite son nettoyage. La lotion se compose d'un émollient plastique ou fluide tel qu'une huile minérale ou de la vaseline, un agent stabilisant tel qu'un alcool gras ou de la paraffine immobilisant l'émollient à la surface des bordures de la couche et, au choix, un surfactant hydrophile améliorant la stabilité et/ou la facilité d'application des lotions. Comme l'émollient est pour la plus grande partie immobilisé à la surface des bordures entourant les jambes de l'utilisateur, la protection ou les avantages thérapeutiques souhaités peuvent être obtenus avec l'application d'une quantité moins importante de lotion.
