Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is described. The disposable absorbent article has a topsheet; a backsheet; and an absorbent system disposed therebetween. The absorbent system has an absorbent core having longitudinal side edges on opposite sides of the absorbent core and end edges on opposite sides of the absorbent core. The absorbent core is disposed in an absorbent core zone. The absorbent article also has an outer periphery formed at least in part by a portion of the topsheet and a portion of the backsheet; an outer boundary zone including the outer periphery. The absorbent article also has an inner boundary zone disposed between the outer boundary zone and the absorbent core zone in a rear portion of the absorbent article. There is a visible difference between the absorbent core zone and the inner boundary zone as well as the absorbent core zone and the outer boundary zone.

Abstract: An array of disposable absorbent articles is described herein. The array has a first plurality of absorbent articles and a second plurality of absorbent articles. Each of the first plurality and second plurality of absorbent articles have absorbent cores having patterned end edges each having a plurality of inflection points.

Abstract: An absorbent article is disclosed. The article includes a topsheet formed of a section of formed nonwoven web material having an ordered arrangement of zones, each zone comprising one or more attenuated regions adjacent to one or more built-up regions, wherein the attenuated regions have a first average basis weight and the built-up regions have a second average basis weight, wherein the first average basis weight is less than the second average basis weight, the difference in basis weights corresponding to disposition of the filaments according to the ordered arrangement. The attenuated region(s) may be included within a configuration of one or more channel portions on the topsheet. Alternatively or in combination, the attenuated region(s) may be included within a hinge portion extending along a wing portion of the topsheet.
