International Classification:

US Classification:

604361

Abstract:

A disposable absorbent product includes a topsheet, a backsheet overlaying the topsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet for absorbing fluid secreted by a wearer of the product. The product also includes a wetness indicating material in the topsheet, the backsheet, or the absorbent core, with the wetness indicating material having a water-soluble element and an inodorous component trapped by the water-soluble element. The water-soluble element is configured to degrade in the presence of fluid secreted by the wearer of the product, thereby releasing the inodorous component into the surrounding air.
