Absorbent article with multi-layer folded absorbent core

An absorbent core comprising a longitudinally folded absorbent laminate, the longitudinally folded absorbent laminate comprising:

• an upper laminate layer;
• a lower laminate layer;
• and
• an absorbent layer positioned between the upper laminate layer and the lower laminate layer, the absorbent layer comprising greater than about 90 percent by weight super absorbent polymer (SAP);
• wherein the longitudinally folded absorbent laminate is folded to form a longitudinally folded multi-layer absorbent laminate of at least five layers of laminate;
• wherein the longitudinally folded multi-layer absorbent laminate has two lateral laminate sides and a width extending between the laminate sides, a first one of the layers spans the entirety of the width, a second one of the layers is disposed above the first layer and spans between 80 percent and 92 percent of the width, third and fourth layers are disposed between the first and second layers and each span less of the width than does the second layer, and a fifth layer is disposed between the third and fourth layers and spans less of the width than does at least one of the third and fourth layers;
• and
• wherein laterally opposing portions of at least the second and third layers define a longitudinally-extending channel above at least the first layer.
