Absorbent articles having distribution materials

An absorbent article, comprising:

• a central lateral axis;
• a front region on a first side of the central lateral axis;
• a back region on a second side of the central lateral axis;
• a crotch region intermediate the front region and the back region;
• a liquid permeable topsheet;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises an absorbent material, wherein the absorbent core comprises a core wrap comprising a first nonwoven substrate on a first side of the absorbent material and a second nonwoven substrate on a second side of the absorbent material, wherein the core wrap forms a C-wrap, and wherein the absorbent core comprises a substantially absorbent material free area that extends from the front region to the back region and crosses the central lateral axis;
• and
• a distribution material positioned intermediate the topsheet and the core wrap and comprising two or more substrates, wherein a plurality of the two or more substrates comprise a wet-formed, three-dimensional fibrous substrate comprising at least 90% pulp fibers by weight of the wet-formed, three-dimensional fibrous substrate, wherein the plurality of the wet-formed, three-dimensional fibrous substrates each comprise:
• a continuous network region;
• a plurality of discrete zones;
• and
• a plurality of transition regions;
• wherein the transition regions are positioned intermediate the continuous network region and at least some of the plurality of discrete zones;
• an acquisition material positioned intermediate the topsheet and the distribution material;
• and
• at least one substrate of the two or more substrates is fully folded over itself to form a two layer structure.

An absorbent article, comprising:

• a central longitudinal axis;
• a central lateral axis;
• a front region on a first side of the central lateral axis;
• a back region on a second side of the central lateral axis;
• a crotch region intermediate the front region and the back region;
• a liquid permeable topsheet;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises an absorbent material positioned in a core wrap, wherein the core wrap comprises a first nonwoven substrate on a first side of the absorbent material and a second nonwoven substrate on a second side of the absorbent material, wherein the core wrap forms a C-wrap, wherein the absorbent core comprises a substantially absorbent material free area that extends from the front region, through the crotch region, to the back region, and wherein the first nonwoven substrate of the core wrap is joined to the second nonwoven substrate of the core wrap in the absorbent material free area;
• a distribution material positioned intermediate the topsheet and the core wrap and comprising two or more substrates, wherein a plurality of the two or more substrates comprise a wet-formed, three-dimensional fibrous substrate comprising at least 90% pulp fibers by weight of the wet-formed, three-dimensional fibrous substrate, wherein the plurality of the wet-formed, three-dimensional fibrous substrate each comprise:
• a continuous network region;
• a plurality of discrete zones;
• and
• a plurality of transition regions;
• wherein the transition regions are positioned intermediate the continuous network region and at least some of the plurality of discrete zones;
• and
• wherein the continuous network region, the plurality of discrete zones, and the plurality of transition regions each have a common intensive property, wherein the common intensive property of the continuous network region has a first value, wherein the common intensive property of the plurality of discrete zones has a second value, wherein the common intensive property of the plurality of transition regions has a third value, and wherein the first, second, and third values are all different;
• an acquisition material positioned intermediate the topsheet and the distribution material;
• and
• acquisition material positioned intermediate the topsheet and the distribution material;
• and
• at least one substrate of the two or more substrates is fully folded over itself to form a two layer structure that overlaps the central longitudinal axis.
