Abstract
The invention relates to a method of joining an absorbent article and a continuous strip. The method comprises a step of adhering a portion of a moisture sensor strip to a first partial surface of the absorbent article, wherein in a pocket region of the absorbent article there is no adhesion of the moisture sensor strip to the first partial surface. A portion of a cover layer is adhered to a second partial surface of the absorbent article, wherein in the pocket region lateral edge regions of the cover layer are adhered to the absorbent article, while a region between the lateral edge regions remains adhesive-free. The cover layer overlaps both longitudinal edges of the moisture sensor strip. The adhered portion of the moisture sensor strip and the adhered portion of the cover layer are separated from the continuous strip. An access opening to a pocket space accessible via the access opening confined by the pocket region of the absorbent article, by the lateral edge regions of the cover layer and by the region between the lateral edge regions, is provided. The invention further relates to a continuous reel of a continuous strip for use in the method according to the invention, an apparatus for use in method according to the invention and a system manufactured in the method according to the invention
