Disclosed is a liquid removal drypad and liquid removal system suitable for absorbing and removing liquid produced by an individual. The drypad can include one or more perforated conduits arranged with an absorbent material. A source of reduced pressure can be connected to the one or more perforated conduits to remove liquid from the drypad. The drypad can be positioned under a patient and liquid produced by the individual can be removed by applying reduced pressure to the drypad. The drypad can be made by combining one or more conduits with an absorbent material.

A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween is described herein. The topsheet includes a first zone disposed between a second zone and a third zone; a first end area and a second end area; and an array of features which includes one of apertures, tufts, ridges, or grooves disposed in the first zone. A plurality of bond sites are disposed in the second and third zones. The plurality of bond sites are configured in a curvilinear manner in at least the first end area or the second end area and mask a boundary of the first zone.

An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline, a lateral centerline, a machine direction (MD) generally oriented parallel to the longitudinal centerline and a cross direction (CD) generally oriented parallel to the lateral centerline is described. The absorbent article includes a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. A plurality of composition elements is disposed on the topsheet, wherein each of the composition elements comprise an element width and an element spacing between adjacent elements, and wherein a ratio of element spacing to element width is between about 0.5 to about 8, as measured by the Composition Pattern Analysis.

A web having a first surface and a second surface, a plurality of apertures extending through the web from the first surface to the second surface, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of apertures are treated with a composition and at least a portion of the apertures are untreated is disclosed. The treated apertures form a plurality of treated aperture zones, and the untreated apertures form a plurality of untreated aperture zones. Each of the plurality of treated aperture zones has one or more apertures, and each of the plurality of untreated aperture zones has one or more apertures. The plurality of treated aperture zones includes between about 25 percent to about 75 percent of the plurality of apertures.

An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.

A patterned apertured web is disclosed. The patterned apertured web includes a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 3% to about 30%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The patterned apertured web has a plurality of Interaperture Distances, according to the Aperture Test herein. The Interaperture Distances have a distribution having a median and a mean.
