A highly extensible nonwoven web is provided. The highly extensible nonwoven web may include continuous multi-component fibers. The continuous multi-component fibers may include polypropylene, wherein the polypropylene has a crystallinity of less than about 41%. The polypropylene may have a melting temperature of less than about 161° C. The highly extensible nonwoven web may define a plurality of apertures. The apertures may be patterned. The highly extensible nonwoven web may form a portion of an absorbent article.

Highly extensible nonwoven webs and absorbent articles having such webs

An absorbent article is provided. The absorbent article includes a nonwoven, liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet includes a layer of fibers and has a plurality of apertures defined in the layer of fibers. At least some of the apertures have a side wall having a portion disposed an angle in the range of about 55 degrees to about 90 degrees, in the range of about 60 degrees to about 80 degrees, or in the range of about 63 degrees to about 75 degrees, according to the 2D X-Ray CT Scan Test herein.

Absorbent articles having apertured, three-dimensional materials and methods for making same

Absorbent articles having three-dimensional, apertured, liquid permeable topsheets, acquisition materials, liquid permeable backsheets, and absorbent cores are disclosed. The absorbent articles provide improved topsheet dryness, reduced collagen rewet, and improved modified fluid acquisition.

Absorbent articles with improved topsheet dryness

An absorbent article comprises a three-dimensional liquid permeable topsheet. The topsheet comprises a first layer comprising a hydrophobic material and a second layer comprising a hydrophilic material. The first layer is joined to the second layer. The topsheet comprises a plurality of recesses, a plurality of projections, and a plurality of land areas. The land areas surround at least a majority of the plurality of projections and a plurality of the recesses. The absorbent article comprises a liquid impermeable backsheet, an acquisition material, an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the acquisition material and the liquid impermeable backsheet, and an indicia. The indicia is on the acquisition material or the liquid permeable topsheet. The indicia is visible from a wearer-facing side of the absorbent article. The indicia is different color than the acquisition material or the liquid permeable topsheet.
