Absorbent articles, such as channeled core diapers, including (i) a topsheet; (ii) an acquisition distribution layer (ADL) comprising a first spunbond nonwoven comprising a first plurality of hydrophilic polyolefin fibers, wherein the ADL has a basis weight from about 5 to about 20 grams-per-meter-squared (gsm), such as at least about any of the following: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 gsm, and/or at most about any of the following: 20, 19, 18, 17, 16, 15, 14, 13, and 12 gsm; and (iii) an absorbent core including (a) a core warp layer and (b) one or more channels defining one or more troughs, wherein the ADL is located directly or indirectly between the topsheet and the core wrap layer of the absorbent core.

An absorbent article includes a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core includes a superabsorbent polymer. The article further includes an acquisition-distribution layer; and at least one channel positioned within a layer located between the topsheet and the backsheet, the at least one channel being substantially free of fibers and superabsorbent polymer. An indentation occurs in at least one of the topsheet and the backsheet that correspond to the at least one channels when the article is loaded with fluid.

A textile for use as a reusable pad, e.g., a reusable incontinence pad, is provided that is intended to wick and retain moisture or liquid(s), such as bodily fluids (e.g., urine, blood, etc.), away from users of their incontinence pad. Moisture or liquid deposited on an upper surface of the incontinence pad is wicked through one or more layers of material included in the incontinence pad via an increasing capillary gradient using capillary forces. The incontinence pad relies on capillary forces to drive moisture from the incontinent person into the inner layer(s) of the incontinence pad, and leaving a top layer of the incontinence pad dry to the touch. A gradient of capillary size can be present in the incontinence pad in a direction away from the incontinent person, which accordingly encourages liquid to migrate away from the incontinent person and be desirably retained therein.
