Absorbent article having a nonwoven topsheet with fluid impervious areas

An absorbent article comprising:

• (a) a fluid pervious topsheet, said topsheet including a bonded fluid pervious apertured nonwoven material having a first surface, said first surface of said apertured nonwoven material having a patterned network of mensophobic fluid impervious areas deposited thereon which extend above said first surface of said nonwoven material, such that bodily fluid deposited on said topsheet is transported through said fluid pervious apertured nonwoven material thereby wetting said fluid pervious apertured nonwoven material, said wetted fluid pervious apertured nonwoven material contrasting visually with said mensophobic fluid impervious areas;
• (b) a fluid impervious backsheet joined to said topsheet;
• and
• (c) an absorbent core positioned between said topsheet and said backsheet.

An absorbent article comprising:

• (a) a fluid pervious topsheet, said topsheet including a bonded fluid pervious nonwoven material having a first surface with a predetermined area, said first surface of said nonwoven material having a patterned network of mensophobic fluid impervious areas deposited thereon which extend above said first surface of said nonwoven material, said mensophobic fluid impervious areas covering from about 10 percent to about 70 percent of said first surface area, such that bodily fluid deposited on said topsheet is transported through said fluid pervious nonwoven material thereby wetting said fluid pervious nonwoven material, said wetted fluid pervious nonwoven material contrasting visually with said mensophobic fluid impervious areas;
• (b) a fluid impervious backsheet joined to said topsheet;
• and
• (c) an absorbent core positioned between said topsheet and said backsheet.
