Abstract: A disposable absorbent diaper has an outer cover, a bodyside liner, and an absorbent core positioned between the outer cover and the bodyside liner. A lofty, resilient, liquid permeable lofty spacer layer is positioned between the absorbent core and the outer cover and in liquid communication with the absorbent core. The absorbent core can be made from standard airformed materials which may have a combination of reduced surface area, narrow crotch width and a permeability level which may permit free liquid run off during insult to the garment. The lofty spacer layer has a high void volume and is also made of economical materials and desirably has a width in the crotch region greater than a width of the absorbent core in the crotch region to provide distribution of the free liquid run off underneath the absorbent core, allowing for reduction of the width of the absorbent core in the crotch region to provide an economical diaper with improved fit and leakage while reducing reliance on a gasketing system.
