Patent ID: 8188192

Claim:
A personal hygiene article comprising a soft elastomeric film consisting essentially of a coupled, selectively hydrogenated block copolymer having the general formula: (A-B) n X wherein a. prior to hydrogenation the A block is a polymerized monoalkenyl arene hydrocarbon block having a molecular weight from 6000 to 7000; b. prior to hydrogenation the B block is a polymerized conjugated diene hydrocarbon block having a vinyl content from 60 to 85% mol; c. the total molecular weight of the block copolymer is from 180,000 to 400,000; d. the monoalkenyl arene content of the block copolymer is from 9 to 16% wt; e. X is the residue of a coupling agent and n is from 2 to 6; and f. the block copolymer includes less than 10% of uncoupled A-B arms; where the elastomeric film has a 100% stress of about 100 psi or less and a tensile strength of at least about 1000 psi.
