Absorbent article with high absorbent material content

An absorbent article comprising a front region, a back region, a crotch region disposed between the front region and the back region, and a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, the absorbent article comprising:

• a) a liquid permeable topsheet;
• b) a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• c) an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet, the absorbent core comprising a combination of superabsorbent polymer and cellulose fibers;
• d) at least one channel positioned within the absorbent core, and longitudinally-extending within a portion of the front region and the crotch region, the at least one channel being substantially free of fibers and superabsorbent polymer;
• e) a waist feature;
• and
• f) an acquisition-distribution layer disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core, wherein the acquisition-distribution layer comprises at least one nonwoven and is free of superabsorbent polymer and channels;
• wherein an indentation occurs in the topsheet that corresponds to the at least one channel when the article is loaded with fluid.
