Abstract: A three-dimensional sheet material can be provided with a pattern of various material treatments. The material treatments can include a pattern of embossments and a pattern of apertures. The three-dimensional sheet material can be utilized in a personal care absorbent article including, but not limited to, diapers, training pants, incontinence products, feminine hygiene products such as sanitary napkins and panty liners, as well as other absorbent article such as bandages and wound dressings.

Abstract: An absorbent article has non-uniform dimensioned side barrier features and includes a lower structure. The article also includes an upper structure in fluid communication with the lower structure. The upper structure is adjacent and bonded to the lower structure. Embossment channels or embossment features and said side barrier feature lateral-most edges define side barrier features having either non-uniform lateral width dimensions or a combination of non-uniform lateral width and non-uniform height dimensions along the longitudinal direction of said article.

Abstract: An absorbent article has non-uniform dimensioned side barrier features and includes a lower structure. The lower structure includes a backsheet layer, a first fluid permeable topsheet layer bonded to the backsheet layer, and a first absorbent core layer sandwiched between the first topsheet layer and the backsheet layer, with the first absorbent core layer having lateral-most side edges. The article also includes an upper structure in fluid communication with the lower structure. The upper structure is adjacent and bonded to the lower structure at the first fluid permeable topsheet layer, and includes a second fluid permeable topsheet layer and at least one additional absorbent layer.
