An absorbent sheet for a pet toilet is provided. The pet toilet includes: a sheet accommodating portion that accommodates the absorbent sheet in a space surrounded by a bottom portion and side walls standing from the bottom portion; and an excretion receiving portion that receives excretions above the sheet accommodating portion and guides the excretions to the sheet accommodating portion. The absorbent sheet includes: a topsheet on a top side of the absorbent sheet and that includes fibers; a backsheet on a back side of the absorbent sheet; an absorber between the topsheet and the backsheet; a central region in which the absorber is disposed in plan view; and side regions that extend outside the central region and in which at least the topsheet is disposed.

Described herein are nonwoven materials including a plurality of fibers. At least some of the plurality of fibers include a filler. The plurality of fibers have a Thermal Conductivity from about 0.25 W/m/K to about 70 W/m/K.

An absorbent article is disclosed, including a three-dimensional material formed of a liquid permeable topsheet and an acquisition material. The acquisition material is positioned beneath the topsheet, and both may be formed of nonwoven material. The three dimensional material may have two surfaces and a plurality of protrusions extending in a z-direction from one of the surfaces, each protrusion having side walls defining an opening in the other of the surfaces. One of the topsheet and the acquisition material may include fibers spun of polymer resin pigmented with a first color that differs from a second color of fibers of the other of the topsheet and the acquisition material, and the differing colors are visible when viewing a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article.

An absorbent article has a wearer-facing side and a garment-facing side. The article also has a topsheet on the wearer-facing side; a backsheet; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; an acquisition layer disposed between the absorbent core and the topsheet; and a visual signal viewable from the wearer-facing side of the absorbent article. The visual signal includes a color imparted to the acquisition layer. The article further comprises at least one channel disposed within the absorbent core that is substantially free of absorbent material; and a wetness indicator disposed on the backsheet and viewable from the garment-facing side of the absorbent article.

A process of making an absorbent article is disclosed. A liquid permeable topsheet web extending substantially continuously in a machine direction a backsheet web, and an intermediate layer are provided. The topsheet web has first and second surfaces. The backsheet web extends substantially continuously in the machine direction. The intermediate layer has a first and second surface. The topsheet and intermediate layer are aligned in a face to face relationship such that the second surface of the topsheet in in contact with the first surface of the intermediate layer and simultaneously mechanically deformed which combines the topsheet with the intermediate layer. The topsheet web and intermediate layer are nested together such that a majority of the three-dimensional protrusions formed in the topsheet web coincide with and fit together with a majority of the three-dimensional protrusions formed in the intermediate layer to provide a topsheet/intermediate layer laminate web having three-dimensional protrusions.

An absorbent article having a wearer-facing side and garment-facing side, the article comprising: a nonwoven topsheet on the wearer-facing side, wherein the topsheet has a first color which is not white and comprises thermal bonds; a backsheet on the garment facing-side; an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet; optionally an acquisition layer; and a visual signal disposed on the topsheet or a layer of the article under the topsheet; wherein the visual signal comprises a first portion having a first appearance and a second portion having a different second appearance. The topsheet has an opacity index of at least 28% as measured by the opacity index test as described herein and the visual signal is visible on the wearer-facing side of the article.

The backsheet web extends substantially continuously in the machine direction. The intermediate layer has a first and second surface. The topsheet and intermediate layer are aligned in a face to face relationship such that the second surface of the topsheet in in contact with the first surface of the intermediate layer and simultaneously mechanically deformed which combines the topsheet with the intermediate layer. The topsheet web and intermediate layer are nested together such that a majority of the three-dimensional protrusions formed in the topsheet web coincide with and fit together with a majority of the three-dimensional protrusions formed in the intermediate layer to provide a topsheet/intermediate layer laminate web having three-dimensional protrusions.
