A treated substrate with improved availability of a beneficial component for transfer to a target surface and methods for making the same are described. The substrate has a contacting surface with a beneficial component that is transferred from the contacting surface to a target surface during use of the article. The beneficial component is applied to the article in such a way as to 'Top-Bias' the component on or near the contacting surface of the article.

Top-biased beneficial components on substrates

A feminine hygiene garment containing a liquid pervious topsheet coated with a nonuniform pattern of a lotion composition is disclosed. The lotion composition is semi-solid or solid at 20&#xb0; C. and is partially transferable to the wearer's skin. The lotion composition is applied to the article in a nonuniform manner, preferably such that there are regions on the article's topsheet that are not coated with lotion. In one embodiment the nonuniform pattern is a plurality of stripes of lotion that are separated by a plurality of stripes having no lotion.
