The absorbent article as disclosed herein has longitudinal side edges extending in a longitudinal direction and transverse front and rear end edges extending in a transverse direction. The absorbent article including a fluid permeable surface layer and a backsheet. The fluid permeable surface layer is an embossed surface layer including an embossing pattern covering from 3% to 20% of the total surface area of said surface layer. The surface layer is an air-through-bonded fibrous nonwoven surface layer including synthetic fibers and has a basis weight of from 14 to 30 g/m2.

The present disclosure discloses an embossed patterned elastic laminate. The elastic laminate has an embossed pattern of at least three surface areas. The current disclosure also includes a process for making an embossed patterned elastic laminate. The embossed patterned elastic laminate provides a permanent change to visual aesthetic without adversely impacting the elastic film.

An absorbent article comprises a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. A wearer-facing nonwoven material comprising three-dimensional features and forming at least a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the topsheet of the absorbent article is provided. The wearer-facing nonwoven material comprises a plurality of generally planar regions that do not overlap with the three-dimensional features. The generally planar regions comprise recesses. The recesses may comprise apertures. The wearer-facing nonwoven material comprises at least 50% natural fibers, by weight of the nonwoven material.

An absorbent article has an absorber disposed between a permeable front surface sheet and a rear surface sheet of a non-woven fabric; wherein the front surface sheet is provided with ridged convex portions continuing in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article at a specified interval in the width direction of the absorbent article, and provided with dot-like concave embossments at the right side adjacent position and the left side adjacent position alternately at an interval in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article on the both sides of each of the convex portions, and the concave embossments are arranged in a zigzag pattern as a whole. The convex portion is an inclined surface having a relatively steep gradient on one side and a relatively gentle gradient on the other side, and the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion is an asymmetrical shape.
