Abstract:
Breathable disposable absorbent article for topical adhesive attachment to a wearer of said article, said article having a wearer facing surface and a garment facing surface and comprising an absorbent core between said wearer facing surface and said garment facing surface characterised in thatsaid garment facing surface of said article provides breathability to said article by being at least water vapour permeable,said article comprises on at least part of said wearer facing surface an adhesive of said topical adhesive attachment of said article,said adhesive having an elastic modulus at a temperature of 37.degree. C. (100.degree. F.), G'.sub.37, and having a viscous modulus at a temperature of 37.degree. C. (100.degree. F.), G"".sub.37,said adhesive being selected to have a dynamic elastic behaviour such that the difference,  G'.sub.37, of G'.sub.37 at a frequency of 1 rad/sec and G'.sub.37 at a frequency of 100 rad/sec is not greater than 150% of G'.sub.37 at a frequency of 1 rad/sec, andsaid adhesive being selected to have a dynamic viscous behaviour such that the difference,  G"".sub.37, of G"".sub.37 at a frequency of 1 rad/sec and G"".sub.37 at a frequency of 100 rad/sec is not greater than 10000 Pa.
