Absorbent article with improved performance

A disposable absorbent article comprising:

• a topsheet comprising a carded, air through bonded nonwoven having a plurality of fibers, wherein the plurality of fibers have a linear density between about 1.3 dtex to about 3.0 dtex, wherein the plurality of fibers comprise bi-component fibers having a polyethylene sheath and a polyethylene terephthalate core, wherein the plurality of fibers comprise 60% hydrophilic fibers and 40% hydrophobic fibers, and wherein the topsheet has a basis weight of from about 15 gsm to about 40 gsm;
• a backsheet;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet;
• an integrated nonwoven fluid management layer disposed between the topsheet and the absorbent core, wherein the fluid management layer comprises a basis weight in a range of from 50 gsm to 75 gsm as determined by the Basis Weight method, from about 15 percent to about 40 percent by weight of cellulose fibers having from about 1.0 to about 2.0 dtex, from between about 15 percent to about 40 percent of resilient fibers having from about 8 to about 15 dtex, and greater than about 45 percent to about 60 percent bi-component fibers as determined by the Material Composition Analysis, and wherein the fluid management layer has a caliper factor of 0.13 mm to about 0.3 mm as determined by the Caliper Factor test method,
• wherein the absorbent article exhibits an average acquisition speed in a first gush of between about 10 seconds to about 40 seconds, and wherein the absorbent article exhibits an average acquisition speed in a second gush of between about 20 to about 100 seconds, when measured in accordance with the Repetitive Acquisition and Rewet method disclosed herein, and
• wherein the absorbent article exhibits an average rewet value of about 0.1 to less than 0.35 gram, when measured in accordance with the Repetitive Acquisition and Rewet method disclosed herein.
