The present disclosure provides articles having an absorbent core with a plurality of segmented volumes defined by a network of filaments, with an absorbent material therein. Suitable articles which may be formed with this absorbent core include, for example, diapers such as infant diapers, juvenile diapers and training pants, feminine hygiene products such as menstrual pads, adult incontinence products such as adult briefs, protective underwear, pads and bladder control pads, pet training pads, and other disposable products utilized to absorb fluids.

An absorbent article including an absorbent core sandwiched between a liquid-permeable topsheet and a liquid-impermeable backsheet, wherein the absorbent core includes an absorbent component enclosed by a core cover including an upper side and a lower side, and a sealing arrangement for joining the upper and lower sides and including two channel sealings in the crotch portion defining a first channel sealing width and a second channel sealing width. The channel sealings are formed by thermo and/or mechanical welding pattern including a plurality of welding spots being arranged in the form of a first row along the longitudinal axis in which each welding spot extends along a first axis, and a second row along the longitudinal axis in which each welding spot extends along a second axis, the first axis and second axis defining a first angle in relation to each other.

An absorbent article comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core and a cushion layer between the absorbent core and the backsheet. The cushion layer comprises at least two sub-layers. The sub-layers advantageously have different widths or are bonded to each other by one or more longitudinally-extending attachment areas.
