An absorbent article has a front side, a back side, a longitudinal axis, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes a first type of channels, wherein the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are bonded to another, and a second type of channels, wherein the top side and the bottom side of the core wrap are not bonded or are less bonded to one another in this second type of channels than in the first type of channels. The absorbent material may also include cellulose and superabsorbent particles.

The present disclosure provides substrates and laminates for absorbent articles and absorbent articles comprising the substrates or laminates. The substrates and laminates may have three-dimensional elements, land areas, and increased permeability regions intermediate at least some of the land areas and at least some of the three-dimensional elements. The increased permeability regions may be positioned adjacent to the three-dimensional elements. The land areas may have a first basis weight and the increased permeability regions may have a second basis weight. The first basis weight may be greater than the second basis weight.

An absorbent article including an absorbent core sandwiched between a liquid-permeable topsheet and a liquid-impermeable backsheet, and comprises a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion located between the front portion and the back portion. The absorbent component includes a coherent area in only the front portion and the crotch portion of the absorbent article. The absorbent component includes oblong high basis weight areas of absorbent material alternating with oblong low basis weight areas of absorbent material. The high basis weight areas of absorbent material and the low basis weight areas of absorbent material not extending into the back portion of the absorbent article. The core comprises a conformance zone with absorbent material in the back portion of the absorbent article having 5-50% of the total average basis weight of the absorbent material in the absorbent component in the front portion of the absorbent article.

An absorbent product includes a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core enclosed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent core includes an absorbent fibrous layer, a liquid inlet layer, and a carrier layer, in which a transversally central region is arranged in the liquid inlet layer. The central region extends along the entire longitudinal length of the absorbent core, and includes a plurality of slits arranged in a pattern. The slits are in the form of dilated slit openings in a part of said central region, which is comprised in an intermediate portion of the absorbent core, and the slits are in the form of non-dilated slits in parts of said central region, which are comprised in one or both of front and rear portions of the absorbent core.

An absorbent core includes a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material, and one or more channels extending at least in the crotch region. The core wrap is at least partially sealed.

Disclosed is a feminine hygiene pad with an absorbent system including: an absorbent foam layer having a wearer-facing surface and an outward-facing surface, having a plurality of apertures providing z-direction passageways from the wearer-facing surface to the outward-facing surface; and a porous spacer layer beneath the foam layer and underlying a majority of openings of the apertures in an outward-facing surface of the foam layer. The spacer layer functions to provide structure, beneath the absorbent foam layer, that holds open a desired amount of unoccupied space between the absorbent layer and a backsheet of the pad, into which unabsorbed menstrual fluid may flow and temporarily reside, during the time required for the absorbent layer to effectively imbibe the fluid.
