    [0001] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to article selection guides, absorbent article packages comprising an article selection guide, and sets of absorbent articles. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Consumers often ask questions about feminine hygiene items to purchase to meet their needs. The displays include a plethora of products made by a variety of manufacturers. And each manufacturer offers several products sized and configured different, with identifications and color schemes that are not always consistent from one manufacturer to another. And because of this inconsistency, consumers need to waste an incredible amount of time reading and studying the information associated with several products to try to make the correct purchase decision. Some manufacturers offer a product for the night. Many of these products are designed to be worn so that more of the product is positioned backward because of the direction in which the body fluid flows when a consumer is lying down.
    [0002] But consumers may not understand this design purpose and, for this reason, may not adhere the product to their underwear in a way that takes advantage of this design goal. Some consumers only perceive the product for the night as a long product for the needs of greater protection. If consumers perceive that a product for the night provides the highest level of protection simply because of its length and then wear it during the day when they are not lying, then a product for the night correctly placed (more to the rear) may not provide sufficient protection to the front. This misconception is not devoid of merit because commercially available feminine hygiene articles do not have a day designation to distinguish them from products designed for the night.
    [0003] 30 Thus, there are many questions about feminine hygiene products that are designed for the day (when a consumer is in a standing position) compared to those for the night (when a consumer is lying), where to place feminine hygiene products, and which products are appropriate for a targeted level of protection. Embodiments of the present invention address at least some of these issues.
    [0004] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the invention is a packaging of absorbent articles, the package comprising: a. a packaging material designed to define an interior; b. a plurality of absorbent articles disposed in the interior; and c. an article selection guide disposed on the packaging material, the article selection guide comprising: i. a reference line; Ii. a first absorbent article image disposed on the reference line, the first absorbent article image being substantially centered on the reference line; and iii. a second absorbent article image disposed on the reference line, the second absorbent article image being offset from the reference line so that more than the second absorbent article image is on one side of the line reference to an opposite side of the reference line. According to one embodiment, one of the first absorbent article image and the second absorbent article image is highlighted to indicate what type of absorbent article is contained within the package. Another object of the invention is an article selection guide, comprising: a. a substrate or a digital image; b. a reference line associated with the substrate or the digital image; vs. a first absorbent article image disposed on the reference line, the first absorbent article image being substantially centered on the reference line; and D. a second absorbent article image disposed on the reference line, the second absorbent article image being offset from the reference line so that more than the second absorbent article image is on one side of the line reference to an opposite side of the reference line.
    [0005] According to one embodiment, the reference line represents a crotch center region of undergarment. According to one embodiment, the selection guide further comprises a day designation near the first absorbent article image. According to one embodiment, the selection guide further comprises a night designation near the second absorbent article image.
    [0006] According to one embodiment, a protection level designation is associated with at least one of the first absorbent article image and the second absorbent article image. According to one embodiment, an absorbency designation is associated with each of the first absorbent article image and the second absorbent article image.
    [0007] According to one embodiment, the absorbency designation associated with the first absorbent article image is the same as the absorbency designation associated with the second absorbent article image. The present invention relates to absorbent article selection guides. According to one embodiment, there is now provided an article selection guide, comprising a substrate 10 or a digital image; a reference line associated with the substrate or the digital image; a first absorbent article image disposed on the reference line; and a second absorbent article image disposed on the reference line. The first absorbent article image is centered on the reference line. And the second absorbent article is offset from the reference line so that a larger portion of the second absorbent article image is on one side of the reference line relative to the opposite side of the subject line. reference. The article selection guide may be applied to a tangible substrate, such as, for example, a packaging material, and may be presented to consumers in a digital format. The present invention also relates to absorbent article sets and packaged absorbent article sets. According to one embodiment, there is now provided any set comprising a first package comprising a first absorbent article, a first brand name, a first color, and a designation indicating that the first absorbent article is an article for the day; and a second package comprising a second absorbent article, a second brand name, a second color, and a designation indicating that the second absorbent article is an article for the night. The first absorbent article has a symmetrical shape, while the second absorbent article has an asymmetric shape. The first brand name and the second brand name are the same. And the second color is darker than the first color. According to a second embodiment, there is now provided an assembly comprising a first package comprising a first feminine hygiene article, a first brand name, an extra-protective absorbency designation, and an ultra thin or maximum designation. ; and a second package comprising a second feminine hygiene article, a second brand name, an extra-protective absorbency designation, and an ultra-thin or maximum designation. The second feminine hygiene article 3024713 4 is different from the first article of feminine hygiene. And the first brand name and the second brand name are identical. In accordance with another embodiment, there is now provided an assembly comprising a first group of absorbent articles including a first absorbent article; a second absorbent article having a length different from that of the first absorbent article; and a third absorbent article having a length different from that of the first absorbent article and the second absorbent article; and a second group of absorbent articles including a fourth absorbent article; and a fifth absorbent article having a length different from that of the fourth absorbent article. All of the first absorbent article, the second absorbent article and the third absorbent article are symmetrically contoured and contained in packages comprising a day port designation. Both the fourth absorbent article and the fifth absorbent articles are asymmetrically profiled and contained in packages comprising a night port designation. The first group of absorbent articles and the second group of absorbent articles are sold under the same brand name.

    [0010] The present invention relates to absorbent article selection guides, absorbent article packages comprising a selection guide, absorbent article sets, and packaged absorbent article sets. Referring now to the figures, Fig. 1 shows an exemplary absorbent article selection guide 10 comprising a range of five articles including the images of article 20, of article 22, of the present invention. Article 24, Article 26 and Article 28. The selection guide 10 may be provided in tangible or digital form (for example, via a website or digital advertisement). Tangible forms may include, but are not limited to, packaging, in-store options such as displays and shelf signage, flyers, vouchers, direct mail, etc. The left area 12 of the selection guide 10 includes articles 20, 22 and 24 which are designed for daytime use. And the right zone 14 includes articles 26 and 28 which are designed for night use. Zone 12 includes a number of different elements to help consumers determine the correct product for their needs. The lower portion of zone 12 includes an absorbency designation 30, 32, and 34 associated with a respective article shown in area 12. The absorbency designation may include, for example, colors, words, expressions, symbols, other indications and their combinations. By way of example only, the absorbency designation 30 includes a yellow color and the word "ordinary", the absorbency designation 32 includes a green color and the words "long super", and the absorbency designation 34 includes a coral / mandarin color and the words "extra absorbing day". The upper portion of region 12 includes a level of protection and / or a wear moment designation 36 and 38. The level of protection designation and / or wear time 36 applies to items 20 and 22, while designation of level of protection and / or wearing time 38 applies to clause 24. Similar to the designation of absorbency, the designations of protection level and wearing moment may include colors, words, expressions, symbols, other indications and their combinations. By way of example only, the protection level and / or wearing time designation 36 includes a yellow or orange color (to indicate that the article is designed for daytime use), a sun symbol (to indicate that the article is designed for daytime use), and a "protection up to 8 hours" designation (to indicate a level of protection afforded by the absorbent article); and a protection level and / or wearing time designation 38 includes a yellow or orange color (to indicate that the article is designed for daytime use) and a "protection up to 10 hours" designation (to communicate a level of protection conferred by the absorbent article).
    [0011] The lower portion of region 14 includes an absorbency designation 40 for article 26 and an absorbency designation 42 for article 28. In an exemplary embodiment, the absorbency designation 40 includes an orange color and the word "night", and the absorbency designation 42 includes a purple color and the word "extra-night protection". The upper portion of region 14 includes a level of protection and / or a designation of wearing moment 44. The designation of protection level and / or wearing time may, for example, include a blue or black color (for example). indicate that the article is designed for night use), a moon symbol (to indicate that the article is designed for night use), star symbols (to indicate that the article is designed for use at night) night use), a "protection up to 10 hours" (to provide a level of protection afforded by the absorbent article) or a combination thereof. Regions 12 and 14 may also include a background color to communicate that they are day and night absorbent articles. For example, the region 12 may have a color background (e.g., green or blue) 39 and the region 14 may have a background 46 of a relatively darker color (e.g., a different shade or hue of green or blue). These colors and at least some of the aforesaid designations are used on the individual absorbent articles and / or packages or packages containing the absorbent articles to ensure that a consumer purchases the selected item in the selection guide. Absorbent article selection guide 10 also includes an optional reference line 50 which may represent the crotch center region of an undergarment. Articles 20, 22, 24, 26 and 28 are arranged on the reference line 50 to show how to properly place the designated article in a person's undergarment. Articles 20, 22 and 24 are arranged so that about half of the pad length is on one side of the reference line 50 and the other half of the pad length is on the opposite side of the line. 50. The articles 26 and 28 are arranged on the reference line 50 so that a greater part of the pad length is below the reference line 50 and a minus part of the pad length is at above the reference line 50 to show a more rearward positioning of articles 26 and 28 in the undergarment of a person. As previously indicated, the absorbent article selection guides of the present invention may be disposed on packs of absorbent articles. In this context, the article selection guide will optionally highlight the item (s) within the range of items that is contained within the package. Figure 2 shows an exemplary selection guide 60 which includes a frame 62 around the absorbency designation 32. One skilled in the art will be aware that other techniques and methods of highlighting the article content can be used. For example, the image of the article itself or a geometric shape surrounding the image of the article could be highlighted. The present invention also relates to an absorbent article and packaging assemblies corresponding to the article selection guides discussed above and their variants. As can be seen in FIG. 1, articles 20, 22 and 24 generally comprise a periphery having a symmetrical shape. And the side flaps or fins are generally centered on a transverse center line of the article. Symmetry and asymmetry, as used herein, refers to the shape of the article on the opposite sides of its transverse center line and / or the position of the side flaps or wings relative to the transverse center line of the article. An article is considered to be symmetrical or symmetrically shaped when its side flaps or wings are off-center by less than 18, 15, 10, or 10 millimeters (transverse center line of side flap or fin relative to the transverse centerline of the article). Tables 1 and 2 below include a list of ultra thin feminine hygiene articles and max feminine hygiene items, given as examples, respectively. Sets of the present invention may include any combination of two or more items or within individual tables or through the individual tables. Those skilled in the art will be aware that absorbent articles other than those listed are contemplated by the present invention, including, for example, articles with dimensional variations of the order of plus or minus 10, 15, 20 millimeters.

Figures 3 and 4 illustrate sectional articles symmetrically given by way of example. Figure 3 shows an exemplary symmetrically profiled article 70 having a periphery 72, a transverse center line 73, a longitudinal center line 74, a first (eg, front) portion 75 10 on one side of the center line transverse, and a second (e.g., rear) portion 76 on the opposite side of the transverse center line. As can be seen, the first portion 75 is substantially the same as the second portion 76 in both shape and size. Fig. 4 shows another exemplary 80 symmetrically shaped article which includes side flaps or wings 81, a periphery 82, a transverse center line 83, a longitudinal center line 84, a first portion 85 on one side of the transverse centerline, and a second portion 86 on the opposite side of the transverse centerline. And while the periphery is designed such that the first portion 85 is substantially the same as the second portion 86 in both shape and size, the transverse center line 87 of the side flaps 81 3024713 11 is slightly offset from the center line transversal 83 of the article. The articles of the present invention are always considered symmetrical when this offset is less than 15, 10 or 5 millimeters. Referring back to Figure 1, sections 26 and 28 are asymmetrical. These 5 items have a night designation and have more area in their back and can be positioned further back to help capture the body fluid when lying down - reference line 50 helps consumers visualize the proper placement in their undergarments. Figure 5 illustrates an asymmetric shaped article 90 given by way of example. The absorbent article 90 has a pair of side flaps 91, a periphery 92, a transverse center line 93, a longitudinal center line 94, a first portion 95 on one side of the transverse center line, and a second portion 96 on the opposite side of the transverse centerline. The asymmetry of the article 90 is twofold: 1) the first part 95 is significantly different in size and profiled from the second part 96; and 2) the side flaps comprise a medial line 97 which is offset from the transverse centerline 93 of the article by 15 millimeters or more. A diversity of asymmetries is contemplated by the present invention, including along only one or both of the transverse center line and the longitudinal centerline. The absorbent article in some embodiments is asymmetrical around the transverse centerline while symmetric about the longitudinal center line, which means that at least a portion of the first half and the second half are visibly configured. differently (eg, size, different shape, etc.) and / or is differently configured in a way that is not easily noticeable by simply looking at the article (eg, different handling properties exudates or physical properties).
    [0013] Absorbent articles of the present invention typically include a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. The topsheet can be formed from any soft, generally soft, flexible material that is comfortable against human skin and through which body exudates can pass. Exemplary topsheets include nonwovens and perforated polymeric films. Backsheets are generally designed to hinder or prevent body exudates from completely crossing the absorbent article and contaminating a user's clothing or body. The backsheet may be impervious to liquids and formed from polymeric films or film / nonwoven laminates. The backsheets can be vapor permeable while being liquid impermeable to help make the article more breathable. Exemplary vapor permeable materials include microporous films, perforated formed films, and nonwovens. Such materials may include an additive (for example, a wax or a surfactant) or a treatment to increase their hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity. The absorbent core may be formed from any of the materials well known to those skilled in the art. Examples of such materials include, but are not limited to, layers of creped cellulose wadding, linted cellulose fibers, wood pulp fibers known as aerated felt, mass or batting. fibers, webs or fibers applied by air jet, a sheet of polymeric fibers and a mixture of polymer fibers. The absorbent core may also include high capacity materials such as polyacrylate particles (often referred to as "superabsorbents" and absorbent and gelling (MAG) material) and HIPE foams such as those described in US Pat. No. 5,550,167. ; 5,387,207; 5,352,711; and 5,331,015. One or more optional intermediate layers may be employed in the absorbent articles of the present invention. In one configuration, an optional interlayer may be disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core. Such layers are included in many known absorbent article designs and may be referred to as "secondary topsheets", "leakage layers", "collection layers", "distribution layer", "transport layers", "Capillary layers" and the like. With this placement, the optional intermediate layer serves to facilitate rapid collection of body exudates from the topsheet and movement thereof into the absorbent core, and / or to temporarily maintain body exudates as that way to support large load volumes or fast loading speeds. Exemplary anti-leakage layers are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,843,063 and 5,879,343. In another configuration, an optional intermediate layer may be disposed between the absorbent core and the backsheet. In this location, an intermediate layer can provide any number of benefits including, for example, structural integrity, flexibility, body adaptation, and management of body exudates. Absorbent articles of the present invention may be individually packaged. The packaging material can help provide cleanliness and discretion when transported outside the home. The packages generally enclose at least partially the absorbent article, and preferably, substantially completely the article. In some embodiments, the package is adapted to accept a used article to facilitate its disposal. The packages can be constructed from many materials including, for example, polymeric films, fibrous materials (including nonwovens and woven fabrics), paper, paperboard and combinations thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the packages 35 are constructed from flexible polymer films. The polymeric films may be based on polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, nylon, polyvinyl alcohol or mixtures thereof. An exemplary material is a 32 gauge polypropylene film. The materials may be a single layer or more than one layer. The packages may be formed from a single starting material of a material which is handled in a container, such as by folding, or may be formed from several starting materials which are joined together to ultimately form the finished package. The packages may include one or more colors and / or other indications that communicate important decisions to purchase and use the absorbent articles. And the colors / indications of day articles may be related to the colors / indications of night goods. For example, an extra-day feminine hygiene article may be individually wrapped in a coral / mandarin tint having an L * value ranging from about 58 to about 63, a value ranging from about 55 to about 68. and an ab * value of from about 54 to about 65, while a night feminine hygiene article can be individually wrapped in an orange shade having an L * value ranging from about 73 to about 84 ranging from about 9 to about 21, and an ab * value ranging from about 67 to about 79. These distinct but closely coordinated colors help consumers understand that one is a particular level of coverage designed for use with day and that the other is a similar level of coverage but designed for night use. One way of coordinating packaging colors for two or more articles is to use color schemes that consistently use a positive or negative a * value and / or a positive or negative b * value; for example, a first package having a color having a positive value a * and a second package having a color having a positive value a *. Delta values E * may be generated from the previous values L *, a *, b * to provide color tone coordination options contemplated by the present invention. The packages of the present invention contain a plurality of individually wrapped articles. The materials for packaging and packaging configurations may be any of those known to those skilled in the art. Examples include, but are not limited to, paper or cardboard boxes and polymeric film bags (eg, polypropylene). The packages may optionally contain a window that may allow at least some of the printed elements of the package to be seen through it. The term "window (s)" as used herein may include full through openings, transparent sections, translucent sections, film inserts / covers in a cardboard box cut and the like. In some embodiments, packages 3024713 14 contain a plurality of the same article. And in other embodiments, the packages may contain a plurality of different articles. Figure 6 shows an exemplary set 200 of three packs 100, 110 and 120 of absorbent articles. Each of the packages includes a brand name area 130 including the ALWAYS ® brand name, a background color 132 (132a on the package 100, 132b on the package 110, and 132c on the package 120), a Absorbency designation 134 (134a on package 100, 134b on package 110, and 134c on package 120), a first icon 136 (136a on package 100, 136b on package 110, and 136c on package 120). ), and a second icon 138 (138a on the package 100, 138b on the package 110, and 138c on the package 120). The package 100 contains absorbent articles designed for daytime use, while the packages 110 and 120 contain absorbent articles designed for nighttime use. The background color 132b and 132c is a hue or hue darker than the background color 132a. In an exemplary embodiment, the lighter background hue may be a hue of green having an L * value of from about 51 to about 65, a value ranging from about 43 to about -40, and an ab * value of from about 3 to about 9, while the darker background hue is a shade of green having an L * value ranging from about 11 to about 42, a value a * ranging from about -33 to about -17, and an ab * ranging from about 6 to about 13. In a second exemplary embodiment, the lighter shade of back is a hue of blue having an L * value ranging from about 43 to about 68, a * ranging from about -29 to about -7, and an ab * ranging from about -41 to about -7. 30, while the darker background hue is a hue of blue having an L * value of from about 10 to about 31, a value ranging from about -7 to about 1 , and a value a b * ranging from about -31 to about -24. Delta values E * can be generated from the previous values L *, a *, b * to provide more color shade differences contemplated by the present invention. Absorbency designation 134a on package 100 includes "extra-day protection" and 134c on package 120 includes "extra-night protection". And the absorbency designation 134b on the package 110 includes "night". The first icon 136a on the package 100 includes a sun image and the designation "protection up to 10 hours", while the first icon 136b and 136c includes a moon image and a designation "protection up to 10 hours" for help the consumer make informed purchasing decisions. The second icon 138 includes an image of the absorbent article 35 contained.
