An absorbent article includes a topsheet layer, backsheet layer, and a subjacent layer between the topsheet layer and backsheet layer. A compressible fluid management layer is positioned between the topsheet layer and subjacent layer. The compressible fluid management layer has an inner edge that defines an annular opening, with the annular opening extending entirely through the compressible fluid management layer. The compressible fluid management layer includes a dimension which is smaller than a dimension of the subjacent layer. The absorbent article further includes a first embossed feature positioned at least at portions, within the annular opening, and adjacent to the compressible fluid management layer inner edge, shaped to conform to the shape of the inner edge. The first embossed feature is positioned within the topsheet layer and the subjacent layer. The article also includes a second embossed feature positioned lateral to compressible fluid management layer peripheral edges.
