ABSTRACT:
A mannequin suitable for testing absorbent articles has a surface having a coefficient of friction of 0.8 to 1.28 as measured by the Coefficient of Friction Test disclosed herein and a contact angle of 94 to 106 degrees as measured by the Contact Angle Test disclosed herein. In various embodiments, the mannequin may further have an indentation value of 3 to 7 kPa over the range of 0 to 4 mm of depth as measured by the Indentation Test disclosed herein. In various embodiments, the mannequin may further have a transmittance value of 50 to 90 percent, a haze value of 8 to 65 percent, and a clarity value of 10 to 80 percent as measured by the Optical Characteristics Test disclosed herein.
