Abstract:
A disposable undergarment including an absorbent core assembly and methods of making the same is disclosed. The undergarment includes a chassis holding the core assembly. The chassis includes a front section, a crotch section and a rear section. The core assembly is located in the crotch section, with portions of it extending into the front and rear sections. A large plurality of closely spaced elastic threads extends across the full width of the undergarment in the front and rear sections. The elastic threads are broken in the areas of the core assembly. The core assembly includes a first section of a slow acting but high absorbency SAP in pockets thereof and an underlying second section of a fast acting but lower absorbency SAP in pockets thereof.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for making a disposable absorbent undergarment configured to be worn by a person, said method comprising:\n providing a chassis comprising:\n a first sheet of a cloth-like, non-woven, breathable material, said first sheet having an inner surface, a front section, a back section, a crotch section located between said front section and said back section, and an absorbent core receiving region including portions of said front, back and crotch sections, said front section including a top front edge and a pair of front side edges, said back section including a top back edge and a pair of back side edges, said crotch section comprising a pair of central side edges, each of said pair of central side sections comprising an ergonomically shaped recess configured for forming a respective leg opening for the person, said recesses being spaced apart from each other by a first distance; and \n a plurality of pre-stretched elastic threads secured to said first sheet, said plurality of pre-stretched elastic threads including a first plurality of pre-stretched elastic threads extending parallel to said top front edge and to each other from one of said pair of front side edges to the other of said pair of front side edges, a second plurality of pre-stretched elastic threads extending parallel to said top back edge and to each other from one of said pair of back side edges to the other of said pair of back side edges, and a third plurality of pre-stretched elastic threads extending parallel to said front top edge, to said back top edge, and to each other from one of said pair of central side edges to the other of said pair of central side edges; \n cutting plural ones of said plurality of pre-stretched elastic threads into separated segments at the location of said absorbent core receiving region; providing an absorbent core assembly configured for absorbing fluid from the person, said absorbent core assembly having a width which is less than said first distance; securing said absorbent core assembly on said inner surface of said chassis at said absorbent core receiving section and between said respective leg openings; and securing respective ones of said front side edges to respective ones of said back side edges.
