Abstract:
1. A method for fabricating an absorbent article having a body facing surface, a garment facing surface, and a periphery, said absorbent article comprising a first layer and a second layer in facing relationship with one another, said absorbent article having a centroid, said absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and a transverse centerline intersecting said longitudinal centerline at said centroid and orthogonal to said longitudinal centerline, said method comprising the steps of: a. providing said first layer with a first imparted colored region coincident with said longitudinal centerline, said first imparted colored region provided by a first coloration technique only on a portion of the first layer; b. providing said second layer with a second imparted colored region that is laterally more extensive in a direction orthogonally away from said longitudinal centerline than said first imparted colored region, said second imparted colored region extending across said longitudinal centerline, said second imparted colored region provided by a second coloration technique only on a portion of the second layer; and c. registering said first layer and said second layer with one another; wherein said absorbent article comprises a background region, wherein said background region, said first imparted colored region, and said second imparted colored region are viewable from said body facing surface, wherein said first imparted colored region and said second imparted colored region differ in color from said background region.
