Abstract:
1. A disposable absorbent article comprising: a chassis including a topsheet and a backsheet; and an absorbent core located between the topsheet and the backsheet; wherein the absorbent core comprises first and second substrate layers; a discontinuous layer of absorbent material deposited on each of the first and second substrate layers; and a thermoplastic material encasing each of the discontinuous layers of absorbent material; wherein the thermoplastic material contacts at least portions of the absorbent material and at least portions of the first and second substrate layers forming areas of junction where the thermoplastic material contacts the first and second substrate layers; wherein the first and second substrate layers are combined together such that the thermoplastic material of each of the first and second substrate layers contact one another such that the absorbent material of the first substrate layer faces the areas of junction of the second substrate layer and the absorbent material of the second substrate layer faces the areas of junction of the first substrate layer; such that the areas of junction are offset.
