Abstract

The absorbent article provides a signal viewable from the top surface of the absorbent article which gives a perception of depth within the absorbent article. This creation of depth perception is accomplished by the use of at least two tones within a color and/or by the use of multiple tones and multiple colors operating together to create a perception of depth within the absorbent article.

Claims (7)

1. An absorbent article having an upper surface, a lower surface and a periphery, comprising:
a topsheet having a bottom surface and a viewing surface positioned opposite to the bottom surface, the viewing surface facing upwardly towards the upper surface of the absorbent article;
a backsheet having a garment facing surface and a user facing surface positioned oppositely to the garment facing surface, the backsheet being joined to the topsheet;
an absorbent core having a top surface and a bottom surface positioned opposite to the top surface, the absorbent core being positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet; and the absorbent article having a non-colored portion and a colored portion, the colored portion being provided on a layer of the absorbent article, the colored portion being viewable from the viewing surface of the topsheet, the colored portion having at least a first shade and a second shade, the first shade and the second shade operating to create a perception of depth within the absorbent article by a user looking upon the viewing surface of the topsheet.
2. The absorbent article of Claim 1, wherein the topsheet has the colored portion.
3. The absorbent article of Claim 1, wherein the topsheet has a first layer and the first layer has the colored portion.
4. The absorbent article of any one of Claims 1 to 3, wherein the non-colored portion and the colored portion are provided on a same layer.
5. The absorbent article of any one of Claims 1 to 4, wherein the colored portion is a substantially elongated shape having two ends.
6. The absorbent article of Claim 5, wherein at least one end of the shape is substantially curvilinear.
7. The absorbent article of Claim 5 or 6, wherein at least one end of the shape is disposed inboard of the absorbent article's periphery.
