Claims7
An absorbent article comprising:
- a topsheet material having a first surface, a second surface and thickness there between;
- a three dimensional film having a top plane, a thickness, a bottom plane, a width, a length and a loft, the loft comprising an open lattice structure comprising a random series of interconnected film fibers comprising a plurality of upper peaks and a plurality of lower peaks and a plurality of irregularly shaped apertures formed from the random series of interconnected film fibers, the interconnected film fibers being formed from the thickness of the film;
- an absorbent core comprising a first surface, a second surface, a thickness between the first and second surfaces, a width and a length;
- and
- a backsheet comprising a first surface, a second surface, a thickness between the first and second surfaces,
- wherein the topsheet material second surface and the three-dimensional film top plane are in contiguous contact, the three-dimensional film bottom plane and the absorbent core first surface are in contiguous contact, the absorbent core second surface and the backsheet first surface are in contiguous contact, the topsheet material second surface and the backsheet first surface encompass the three-dimensional film width and length and the absorbent core width and length, and
- wherein the top plane is formed from upper peaks of the random series of interconnected film fibers and the bottom plan is formed from the lower peaks of the random series of interconnected film fibers and the three-dimensional film loft and the lower peaks of the random series of interconnected film fibers comprise the irregularly shaped apertures.
