An absorbent article having a liquid-handling system includes a liquid permeable bodyside liner; a liquid impermeable outer cover; and an absorbent core disposed between the liner and the outer cover, wherein the absorbent core has a longitudinal direction, wherein the absorbent core includes a layer of a three-dimensionally patterned, wetlaid, cellulosic tissue nonwoven material, and wherein the layer includes longitudinal ridges and grooves. The absorbent core can include multiple layers of a three-dimensionally patterned, wetlaid, cellulosic tissue nonwoven material, wherein each layer of the multiple layers includes longitudinal ridges and grooves, and wherein the multiple layers are joined by lines of embossing, such lines of embossing extending in the longitudinal direction. Each layer of the multiple layers can include embossed longitudinal ridges and grooves.

A liquid absorbent structure is made by dry laying a fibrous web having incorporated therein a superabsorbent material, and applying an aqueous composite stabilizer to at least one surface of the web. The aqueous composite stabilizer imparts integrity to the resulting structure without substantially impairing the effectiveness of the superabsorbent material to absorb liquid while forming the absorbent structure without removing the water from aqueous composite stabilizer or drying out the absorbent structure. The absorbent composite absorbs the water from the aqueous composite stabilizer. The absorbent composite comprises about 70% by weight of a superabsorbent material.

An absorbent article includes an absorbent core comprising a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material. The absorbent core further comprises at least one channel extending from the crotch region to the back region. The article further comprises an acquisition-distribution system (ADS) between the topsheet and the absorbent core. The ADS comprises one, two or more layers wherein the ADS does not comprise a layer comprising at least 50% by weight of synthetic fibers.

The present disclosure provides three-dimensional materials having apertures. The apertures in the three-dimensional materials may be formed in portions of a generally planar region and/or in at least some of a plurality of discrete integral second regions. The apertures may help in BM or other bodily fluid acquisition and retention.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable nonwoven topsheet, a nonwoven second material that is a separate material from the topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned intermediate the second material and the backsheet. The second material is positioned intermediate the topsheet and absorbent core. The topsheet is nested with the second material to form a nested laminate comprising a plurality of recesses and a plurality of raised areas. Voids are defined in the raised areas under the second material. A first aperture is formed in a substantially central location of the raised areas. The recesses each form a base positioned most distal from the substantially central locations of the raised areas. A second aperture is formed in the bases of the recesses. The first and second apertures extend through both the topsheet and second material.
