Abstract
Stand alone topsheet article that can be engaged over an absorbent article to provide a fresh interface between the user and the absorbent article. An absorbent article with an additional topsheet that can be engaged over the cover of an absorbent article to provide a fresh interface between the user and the absorbent article. The stand alone topsheet or absorbent article is also optionally provided with a cleansing apparatus. The cleansing apparatus is either optionally being packaged with the stand alone topsheet article or absorbent article or integrated into the packaging of the stand alone topsheet article or absorbent article. A device for securing absorbent products is also provided. The device is placed between the absorbent product and an undergarment. The device secures and aligns the absorbent product. As a result, the device reduces the movement of the absorbent product, which may prevent leakage. Finally, a target area marker is provided. The target area marker is used to effectively position an absorbent product. Absorbent products include, but are not limited to, feminine hygiene pads, medical dressings, nursing pads, and diapers. The target area marker may be placed on the absorbent product itself; another article, such as an article of clothing, in which the target area marker is attached; and/or a dedicated marking article, such as a sticker. By effectively placing the absorbent product, the absorption capacity of the product may be maximized.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
