An absorbent article includes a liquid permeable, apertured topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, and an acquisition material disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the absorbent core. The acquisition material has a caliper in the range of about 2.5 mm to about 10 mm, according to the Caliper Test, and an Air Permeability in the range of about 5,000 l/m.sup.2/s to about 11,000 l/m.sup.2/s, according to the Air Permeability Test. The acquisition material has a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of three-dimensional features extending outwardly from the first surface or the second surface.

An absorbent article includes an absorbent core having an absorbent material enclosed in a core wrap having a top layer and a bottom layer. The bottom layer of the core wrap comprises a nonwoven comprising synthetic fibers, which has a basis weight from about 6 g/m.sup.2 to about 10 g/m.sup.2 and the nonwoven has a static coefficient of friction as measured in cross-machine direction of no more than 0.40.

An absorbent article having a fluid-handling system includes a fluid permeable bodyside liner; a fluid impermeable outer cover; an absorbent core disposed between the liner and the outer cover, wherein the absorbent core includes superabsorbent material and optionally fluff pulp; a tissue core wrap encircling the absorbent core; and a distribution sub-layer disposed between the absorbent core and the outer cover and within the core wrap, wherein the distribution sub-layer includes a three-dimensionally patterned, wetlaid, cellulosic tissue nonwoven material. The distribution sub-layer includes opposing distribution sub-layer surfaces each having a textured surface, wherein each surface includes an average material plane, a plurality of ridges extending in a z-direction from the average material plane, and a plurality of grooves alternating with the plurality of ridges, wherein the grooves depth extend in the opposite z-direction from the average material plane.

The present invention relates to single-use hygiene care product, in particular an absorbent pad, consisting of a liquid absorbent layer in contact with human body and a back layer opposite to the liquid absorbent layer, the back layer being a breathable back sheet; a super absorbent layer arranged between the liquid absorbent layer and the back layer, a lotion layer arranged between the liquid absorbent layer and the super absorbent layer, the lotion layer containing skin-moisturizing lotion. The absorbent pad of the present invention can prevent patients from growing pressure sore due to the peel-off of their dry skin, hence preventing the development of pressure sore and perennial dermatitis. The use of breathable water-proof back layer can ensure air flow and at the same time prevent liquid leakage. The absorbent package is convenient and can effectively protect patients from erythra and perennial dermatitis.

A polymer provided region (13) at which a superabsorbent polymer (12) is provided, and a polymer non-provided region (14) at which the superabsorbent polymer (12) is not provided are formed, a liquid diffusion sheet (15), that promotes diffusion of body fluid in a plane direction, is staked to be adjacent to a skin side surface of a lower layer sheet (11), and an upper layer sheet (10) is bonded with the liquid diffusion sheet (15) under a state that the upper layer sheet (10) contacts the liquid diffusion sheet (15), at the polymer non-provided region (14) to form a polymer sheet (4).

An absorbent article includes a polymer sheet (4) where a superabsorbent polymer (12) is disposed between an upper layer sheet (10) disposed on a skin side and a lower layer sheet (11) disposed on a non-skin side. The diffusion area of the lower layer sheet (11) is 1500 mm.sup.2 or greater. The diffusion area is measured by an absorption test method including: (1) preparing a specimen with a size of 100 mm100 mm, (2) placing a tip of a buret at a height of 10 mm above a surface of the specimen, and dropping one droplet of ion-exchanged water from the buret, and (3) after 3 minutes from a time when the droplet reaches the surface of the specimen, measuring, as the diffusion area, an area of a region of the surface of the specimen where a reflection from water is clearly visible.
