A disposable absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline, a front waist region with a front waist edge, a rear waist region with a rear waist edge, a crotch region disposed between said front and rear waist regions and two spaced apart longitudinal side edges joining said front waist edge to said rear waist edge and comprising an assembly of components including:
- a) a topsheet;
- b) a backsheet underlying said topsheet;
- c) an absorbent core disposed between said topsheet and said backsheet, the absorbent core comprising a core wrap;
- d) a liquid management system disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core;
- wherein an odor control composition is placed between the core wrap and the liquid management system;
- wherein the core wrap has a surface area facing the liquid management system, and the odor control composition is placed over at most about 80% of the core wrap surface area.
A disposable absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline, a front waist region with a front waist edge, a rear waist region with a rear waist edge, a crotch region disposed between said front and rear waist regions and two spaced apart longitudinal side edges joining said front waist edge to said rear waist edge and comprising an assembly of components including:
- a) a topsheet;
- b) a backsheet underlying said topsheet;
- c) a substantially cellulose free absorbent core disposed between said topsheet and said backsheet, the absorbent core comprising a nonwoven core wrap;
