Abstract:
The present invention relates to a personal care absorbent article comprising at least two substrates each having an internal and external surface, wherein at least one substrate is a fluid permeable bodyside substrate selected from spunbond, meltblown, coform, airlaid, bonded-carded web, spunlace materials and combinations thereof; at least one substrate is an impermeable backsheet; and an absorbent core disposed in between said substrates; wherein at least the external surface of at least one substrate has applied to it a benefit agent selected from an additive composition wherein said additive composition is a polymer dispersion selected from polyolefin dispersions, polyisoprene dispersions, polybutadiene-styrene block copolymer dispersions, latex dispersions, polyvinyl pyrrolidone-styrene copolymer dispersions, polyvinyl alcohol-ethylene copolymer dispersions, and combinations thereof; an enhancement component selected from microparticles, expandable microspheres, fibers, additional polymer dispersions, scents, anti-bacterials, moisturizers, medicaments, soothers and combinations thereof; and combinations thereof.
