Disposable wearable absorbent articles with anchoring subsystems
The present disclosure includes an embodiment wherein a disposable wearable absorbent article comprises an absorbent core and a side with a side anchoring subsystem. The side anchoring subsystem is configured to indirectly anchor the absorbent core to a wearer of the article. The side includes a first portion, in which substantially all of the side anchoring subsystem is integral with the side, and a second portion, outside of the first portion.
1. A front-fastenable disposable wearable absorbent article comprising:
an absorbent core;
a side ear with an area, wherein the area includes a first portion and a second portion, the second portion is disposed outside of the first portion and laterally outboard from the first portion, and the second portion is extensible;
a first side anchoring member that is integral with the side ear and disposed along a first pathway within the first portion;
a second side anchoring member that is integral with the side ear and disposed along a second pathway within the first portion;
wherein at least a portion of the first and second pathway are coextensive;
at least a portion of the first and second pathways are distinct, the distinct portion of the first and second pathways being laterally inboard from the coextensive portion of the first and second pathways;
substantially all of the first portion includes a higher caliper elastomer; and
substantially all of the second portion includes one or more lower caliper elatomers.
2. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein substantially all of the first portion is configured to have a higher directional modulus of elasticity, and substantially all of the second portion is configured to have one or more lower directional modulii of elasticity.
3. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 2 , wherein the higher directional modulus of elasticity is at least ten percent greater than any of the one or more lower directional modulii of elasticity.
4. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein substantially all of the first portion is incrementally stretched to a lesser degree, and substantially all of the second portion is incrementally stretched to one or more greater degrees.
5. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein the first portion is incrementally stretched with a first particular number of teeth per a unit of distance, and the second portion is incrementally stretched with a second particular number of teeth per the unit of distance, wherein the first particular number of teeth is less than or equal to the second particular number of teeth.
6. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein one or more unstretched areas are distributed throughout substantially all of the first portion, and substantially all of the second portion is incrementally stretched.
7. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein substantially all of the first portion is configured to have a higher force per unit width at a particular strain, and substantially all of the second portion is configured to have one or more lower forces per unit width at the particular strain.
8. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 1 , wherein one or more bond areas are distributed throughout substantially all of the first portion.
9. A pant-type disposable wearable absorbent article comprising:
an absorbent core;
a side ear with an area, wherein the area includes a first portion and a second portion, the second portion is disposed outside of the first portion, and the second portion is extensible;
a first side anchoring member that is integral with the side ear and disposed along a first pathway within the first portion;
a second side anchoring member that is integral with the side ear and disposed along a second pathway within the first portion;
wherein at least a portion of the first and second pathway are coextensive;
at least a portion of the first and second pathways are distinct, the distinct portion of the first and second pathways being laterally inboard from the coextensive portion of the first and second pathways;
substantially all of the first portion includes a higher caliper elastomer; and substantially all of the second portion includes one or more lower caliper elatomers.
10. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein substantially all of the first portion is configured to have a higher directional modulus of elasticity, and substantially all of the second portion is configured to have one or more lower directional modulii of elasticity.
11. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 10 , wherein the higher directional modulus of elasticity is at least ten percent greater than any of the one or more lower directional modulii of elasticity.
12. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein substantially all of the first portion is incrementally stretched to a lesser degree, and substantially all of the second portion is incrementally stretched to one or more greater degrees.
13. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein the first portion is incrementally stretched with a first particular number of teeth per a unit of distance, and the second portion is incrementally stretched with a second particular number of teeth per the unit of distance, wherein the first particular number of teeth is less than or equal to the second particular number of teeth.
14. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein one or more unstretched areas are distributed throughout substantially all of the first portion, and substantially all of the second portion is incrementally stretched.
15. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein substantially all of the first portion is configured to have a higher force per unit width at a particular strain, and substantially all of the second portion is configured to have one or more lower forces per unit width at the particular strain.
16. The disposable wearable absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein one or more bonded areas are distributed throughout substantially all of the first portion.
