An absorbent article comprises a laminate, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed at least partially between the laminate and the backsheet. The laminate comprises a nonwoven, non-apertured topsheet and a nonwoven, non-apertured acquisition layer. The topsheet is less hydrophilic than the acquisition layer. The laminate comprises a generally planar first region and a plurality of discrete integral second regions formed in the topsheet and the acquisition layer to nest portions of the topsheet and the acquisition layer. The plurality of discrete integral second regions each comprise a wearer-facing surface. A non-uniform interruption is defined in the topsheet in each of at least some of the plurality of discrete integral second regions. Portions of the acquisition layer form portions of the wearer-facing surface in the non-uniform interruption in the at least some of the discrete integral second regions.

ABSORBENT ARTICLES HAVING SUBSTRATES HAVING ZONAL TREATMENTS

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The absorbent article may include a substantially laterally-extending separation element defining a visual front portion and a visual back portion on a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article. The liquid permeable topsheet may include a first zone in the visual front portion that includes a first geometric treatment and a second zone in the visual back portion that includes a second geometric treatment.

CONFIGURABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES

Configurable absorbent articles are provided. The absorbent articles may comprise a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent articles may comprise a first waist region, a second waist region, a crotch region extending intermediate the first waist region and the second waist region, and an outer cover material joined to the backsheet and forming a portion of a garment-facing surface of the absorbent article. The absorbent articles may comprise a pair of leg cuffs and a fully removable fastening member. The fastening member may comprise a first fastener on a first surface of the fastening member and positioned proximate to a first end and a second fastener on the first surface and positioned proximate to a second end. The absorbent articles may also comprise a wetness guard.

MULTI-COMPONENT TOPSHEETS HAVING THREE-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS

The present disclosure is directed to multi-component topsheets having three-dimensional materials. The present disclosure is directed to absorbent articles having multi-component topsheets having three-dimensional materials. The three-dimensional materials may have apertures. The topsheets may have a first material, a second material, and a third material. The first and second materials may be the same and the third material may be different from the first and second materials. The first and second materials may have a lower basis weight than the third material.
