Disclosed is the use of an adhesive to prepare a disposable absorbent product intended for the absorption of liquids such as body liquids. It is generally desired that the adhesive exhibits a storage modulus greater than about 1 x 10 dynes per square centimeter across the temperature range of about 0 DEG F to about 130 DEG F. The use of such an adhesive results in a reduced visibility of the adhesive through the outer sheets, such as breathable films, of a disposable absorbent product to a wearer or user, thereby improving the aesthetics of the disposable absorbent product. Cette invention a trait à l'emploi d'un adhésif permettant de mettre au point un article absorbant spécifique de liquides tels que des liquides organiques. Il est normalement souhaitable que cet adhésif fasse montre d'un module de conservation supérieur à environ 1 x 10 dynes par centimètre carré et ce, dans la totalité de la plage des températures comprises entre 0 et 130 DEG F. L'utilisation de cet adhésif permet d'améliorer l'aspect esthétique de l'article absorbant jetable dans la mesure où il est invisible depuis les feuilles extérieures, les films imper-respirants, notamment.
