A laminate web having a polymer film layer and a nonwoven layer is disclosed. The polymer film layer makes up a first side of the laminate web and the nonwoven layer makes up a second side of the laminate web. The laminate web has a plurality of first elements extending from the polymer film. The web also has a plurality of second elements formed outwardly from the first side of the laminate web.

A laminate comprises a first layer comprising a plurality of lower opacity zones positioned within a higher opacity zone is provided. The plurality of lower opacity zones form a first pattern. The laminate comprises a second layer comprising a second pattern. The laminate comprises a non-joined span of the first and second layers having a dimension of at least about 20 mm. A first portion of the second pattern is visible through at least some of the plurality of lower opacity zones when the first layer, within the non-joined span, is in a first position relative to the second layer, within the non-joined span. A second portion of the second pattern is visible through at least some of the plurality of lower opacity zones when the first layer, within the non-joined span, is in a second position relative to the second layer, within the non-joined span.

An activated composite web includes a nonwoven layer, and a formed film layer attached to the nonwoven layer. The formed film layer includes a plurality of first apertured protuberances having a mesh count of at least 35, and a plurality of second apertured protuberances. Each of the second apertured protuberances has a cross-sectional area larger than each of the first apertured protuberances. A plurality of first lanes are aligned in a first direction and have a first width extending in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first apertured protuberances are located in the first lanes. A plurality of second lanes are aligned in the first direction and have a second width, less than the first width, extending in the second direction. The first lanes and the second lanes alternate with each other in the second direction. The second apertured protuberances are located in the second lanes.

A laminate comprises a first layer comprising a plurality of lower opacity zones positioned within a higher opacity zone is provided. The plurality of lower opacity zones form a first pattern. The laminate comprises a second layer comprising a second pattern. The laminate comprises a non-joined span of the first and second layers having a dimension of at least about 20 mm. A first portion of the second pattern is visible through at least some of the plurality of lower opacity zones when the first layer, within the non-joined span, is in a first position relative to the second layer, within the non-joined span. A second portion of the second pattern is visible through at least some of the plurality of lower opacity zones when the first layer, within the non-joined span, is in a second position relative to the second layer, within the non-joined span.

A second portion of the second pattern is visible through at least some of the plurality of lower opacity zones when the first layer, within the non-joined span, is in a second position relative to the second layer, within the non-joined span.

The present disclosure is directed to absorbent articles with substrates or topsheets having repeating patterns of apertures comprising a plurality of repeat units. Each of the repeat units comprises at least three apertures.

A web for use in disposable absorbent articles is disclosed herein. The web has a first surface and an opposing second surface. A plurality of discrete extended elements and a plurality of macro apertures arranged in a staggered pattern are provided. A plurality of web regions between adjacent macro apertures has a top plane having a length less than or equal to about 0.9 mm between the two adjacent macro apertures.

A three-dimensional, nonwoven substrate having at least a non-apertured zone and an apertured zone, and articles or absorbent articles including one of more of such substrates are provided.

A laminate with a fibrous nonwoven web first layer (20) bonded to a second layer (40) by way of a plurality of first layer embossments is disclosed. The first layer (20) further includes a plurality of apertures and an air gap between the first layer (20) and second layer (40). The laminate is well-suited for a wide variety of uses and in particular as a top sheet or liner material for absorbent articles such as, for example, diapers, training pants, feminine hygiene products, incontinence devices and wipes. Also disclosed is a process for forming such a laminate.

An object of the present invention is to obtain a nonwoven fabric for an absorbent article that can produce a delicate, soft and smooth feel on the skin when it is contacted with a finger. The nonwoven fabric for an absorbent article has a configuration with a plurality of raised sections, and second hollow sections having, in first bottom sections of first hollow sections in a plurality of furrow sections provided in the spaces between adjacent raised sections, second bottom sections that are formed as depressions opening into the first bottom sections, the distance between the top section of any raised section and the top section of a raised section adjacent to that raised section being 0.5 to 2 mm, and the mean fiber size of the fibers forming at least the raised sections of the nonwoven fabric being 10 to 30 m.
