International Classification:

A61F 1315

US Classification:

604367, 442118, 428131, 604383, 60438518, 604904

Abstract:

An apertured film cover for an absorbent article is disclosed. The cover has an additive combination comprising a hydrophilic agent and a lyophilic agent applied thereto. The additive combination provides surprisingly improved fluid transfer across the cover. It can also provide a benefit by reducing frictional forces during the manufacture of a tampon.

International Classification:

A61F 13/15
A61F 13/20

US Classification:

604361, 60438517, 604904

Abstract:

An absorbent device for insertion into a vaginal cavity, the absorbent device having an absorbent body and an indicator structure arranged and configured within the absorbent body, the indicator structure having a resilient member maintained in a strained configuration by a restraint; wherein the resilient member is capable of reverting to a relaxed configuration upon the weakening of the restraint and the restraint weakens upon exposure to moisture.

US Classification:

604/364000, 604/385180, 604/904000

Abstract:

An absorbent device for insertion into a vaginal cavity, the absorbent device having an absorbent body; and an indicator structure arranged and configured within the absorbent body, the indicator structure having a resilient member having a first arm having a rough surface and a second arm, the first and second arms being maintained in a strained configuration by a restraint; wherein the restraint weakens upon exposure to moisture and the resilient member is capable of articulating to a relaxed configuration upon the weakening of the restraint in a movement in which the rough surface of the first arm traverses the second arm to generate vibration discernible to the user.
