More Information
Summary:A signaling device for garments is disclosed. The signaling devices, for instance, may be attached to an absorbent article containing a wetness sensing system. In particular, the signaling device may be configured to emit an audible and/or visible signal when a conductive fluid is sensed in the absorbent article. In accordance with the present disclosure, the signaling device is designed based upon anthropomorphic data so that the signaling device can fit within the small of the back of a wearer while minimizing discomfort. The signaling device can also be made from various materials that provide some protection to the internal components of the signaling device while also minimizing discomfort.
