Abstract: This invention is directed to an absorbent article, preferably a diaper or training pants, having a backsheet, an absorbent core and a topsheet, provided with at least one opening adapted to receive fecal material, comprising also a genital coversheet, which in use covers the genitals, and which is positioned in, under or above part of the opening, such that a void space can be created between the genital coversheet and the absorbent core and such that a void space is present between the topsheet and the absorbent core.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hydrophilic synthetic nonwoven webs. At least a region of 1 cm by 1 cm comprised by the web of the invention comprises cross-linked hydrophilic polymers and has a retention capacity of less than 100 g of aqueous liquid per m2 of the nonwoven fibrous web. Moreover, the invention relates to a method for making such nonwoven webs. Furthermore, the invention also relates to absorbent articles comprising the nonwoven webs comprising cross-linked hydrophilic polymers.
