Abstract:
An absorbent article comprising:a) a cover having a bodyfacing surface with a predetermined area and a garmentfacing surface;b) an absorbent core adjacent to said garmentfacing surface of said cover; andc) a hot melt, pressure sensitive adhesive secured to less than about 90 percent of said bodyfacing area, said adhesive selected from the group consisting A-B-A block copolymers and A B-B-A block copolymors, wherein A is a block polymer of mono-vinyl substituted aromatic hydrocarbon and B is an elastomeric block polymer of a conjugated diene and having a Lan .delta. at a frequency of about 0.1 radians per second to about 1000 radians per second residing inside a quadrangle ABCD wherein said quadrangle ABCD is defined by graphically plotting frequency in radians per second verse tan .delta. referenced to about 20.degree. Centigrade of said adhesive, said quadrangle ABCD having as points A and D a tan .delta. of about 0.06 and 0.4 respectively at a frequency of about 0.1 radians pet second and points B and C at a tan .delta. of about 0.1 and about 1.7 respectively at a frequency of about 1000 radians per second.
