Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9843570A1] A method of manufacturing a compound sanitary napkin (20) comprising a primary absorbent member (30) and a secondary absorbent member (50) is provided. The primary absorbent member (30) comprises a primary absorbent element (34) and a fluid pervious cover superimposed on the primary absorbent element (34). The secondary absorbent member (50) comprises a fluid pervious body-facing sheet, a fluid impervious garment-facing sheet joined to the fluid pervious body-facing sheet and a secondary absorbent element (56) positioned between the fluid pervious body-facing sheet and the fluid impervious garment-facing sheet. The method comprises the steps of: wrapping a discrete primary absorbent element (34) by a continuous fluid pervious cover web to make a continuous primary absorbent member web, the discrete primary absorbent element (34) arranged to provide a first predetermined interval, forwarding the continuous primary absorbent member web toward a combining section, feeding a continuous fluid pervious body-facing sheet web, a continuous fluid impervious garment-facing sheet web and a discret secondary absorbent element (56) toward the combining section, the discrete secondary absorbent element (56) arranged to provide a second predetermined interval, such that the discret secondary absorbent element (56) superposes the discrete primary absorbent element (34) and such that at least a portion of each of the first and the second predetermined intervals is overlapping, combining the continuous primary absorbent member web and the continuous fluid pervious body-facing sheet web to make a continuous composite web, and cutting the continuous composite web into the discret compound sanitary napkin (20).
