Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to absorbent articles with substrates or topsheets having repeating patterns of apertures comprising a plurality of repeat units. Each of the repeat units comprises at least three apertures.
Claims20
An absorbent article comprising:
- a central lateral axis;
- a central longitudinal axis extending perpendicular to the central lateral axis;
- a liquid permeable apertured, nonwoven topsheet;
- a liquid impermeable backsheet;
- and
- an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate the topsheet and the backsheet;
- the absorbent article having a total length along the central longitudinal axis, as measured according to the Repeat Unit Measurement Test;
- the absorbent article having a total width along the central lateral axis, as measured according to the Repeat Unit Measurement Test;
- wherein the apertured topsheet comprises a repeating pattern of apertures comprising a plurality of repeat units;
- wherein each of the repeat units is the same or substantially the same;
- wherein the repeat units repeat between about 3 and about 7 times along the total width, as measured by the Repeat Unit Measurement Test herein;
- and
- 730 mm2 to about 1,400 mm2.
