Abstract

The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins and the use of breathable backsheet constructions therein to maintain the skin surface temperature of the wearer of said article within +/- 1 DEG C of the skin surface temperature in the absence of said article.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to absorbent articles, particularly sanitary napkins, and to the use of a breathable backsheet structure to maintain the skin surface temperature in the area where the absorbent article is used within the normal skin surface temperature range. Background technique [0002] The human body is generally at, and maintained at, a higher temperature than the surrounding environment. Additionally, many metabolic / physiological reactions in the body are exothermic, allowing for an additional caloric load. However, the permissible range of the body's "internal" temperature needs to be carefully controlled within a relatively narrow range. The body achieves this delicate temperature balance through control, and in warmer environments, mainly through heat dissipation mechanisms. Latent heat is generally transported away from the body by evaporative heat loss associated with conductive epidermal heat loss (TEWL), perspiration, and to...
