Disposable wearable absorbent articles with multiple indicating colors

Abstract

A disposable wearable absorbent article comprises a topsheet, an absorbent core, an outer cover, a waist opening, leg openings, a first visual fullness indicating area, and a second visual fullness indicating area. The first visual fullness indicating area is configured to change to a first subsequent color when indicating the presence of a bodily exudate. The second visual fullness indicating area is configured to change to a second subsequent color when indicating the presence of a bodily exudate. The second subsequent color is visually distinguishable from the first subsequent color. At least a portion of each of the visual fullness indicating areas is visible from outside of the disposable wearable absorbent article when the article is worn by a wearer.

         4 . The absorbent article of  claim 2 , wherein the second visual fullness indicating area is laterally outboard from the first visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         5 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the second visual fullness indicating area is immediately adjacent to the first visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         6 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the second visual fullness indicating area is spaced apart from the first visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         7 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the first visual fullness indicating area has an overall shape that is substantially elongated. 
     
     
         8 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the first visual fullness indicating area has a substantially uniform width. 
     
     
         9 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the second visual fullness indicating area has an overall shape that is substantially elongated. 
     
     
         10 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the second visual fullness indicating area has a substantially uniform width. 
     
     
         11 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein an overall length of the second visual fullness indicating area is less than an overall length of the first visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         12 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the first subsequent color is selected from the group including: the color green, a variation of the color green, the color blue, a variation of the color blue, the color purple, and a variation of the color purple. 
     
     
         13 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the second subsequent color is selected from the group including: the color yellow, a variation of the color yellow, the color orange, a variation of the color orange, the color red, and a variation of the color red. 
     
     
         14 . The absorbent article of  claim 1 , including, at least, a third visual fullness indicating area, configured to change to a third subsequent color when indicating the presence of a bodily exudate, wherein the third subsequent color is visually distinguishable from the second subsequent color. 
     
     
         15 . The absorbent article of  claim 14 , wherein the third visual fullness indicating area is outboard from the second visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         16 . The absorbent article of  claim 14 , wherein the third visual fullness indicating area is immediately adjacent to the second visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         17 . The absorbent article of  claim 14 , wherein the third visual fullness indicating area is spaced apart from the second visual fullness indicating area. 
     
     
         18 . The absorbent article of  claim 14 , wherein the third subsequent color is selected from the group including: the color yellow, a variation of the color yellow, the color orange, a variation of the color orange, the color red, and a variation of the color red.
