Tufted laminate web

An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the topsheet having a first side and a second side, the first side being a body-facing side and the second side being in fluid communication with the absorbent core, said topsheet further comprising:

• a. a relatively hydrophobic web and a second relatively hydrophiic web;
• b. said relatively hydrophilic web extending through said relatively hydrophobic web and being disposed on both sides of said topsheet;
• c. wherein said relatively hydrophilic web comprises a spunbond nonwoven web;
• d. wherein the first side of the topsheet comprises a plurality of discrete tufts comprising fibers from said spunbond nonwoven web, a plurality of said fibers of said tufts being looped fibers such that said looped fibers begin and end at said relatively hydrophilic nonwoven web;
• and
• e. wherein said absorbent article exhibits a rewet value of less than about 94 mg when tested by the Rewet Test Method, and a fluid acquisition rate of at least about 0.10 ml/sec when tested by the Fluid Acquisition Test Method.

• a. a first relatively hydrophobic web and a second relatively hydrophilic carded nonwoven web;
• b. said relatively hydrophilic carded nonwoven web comprises tufts, said tufts comprising looped fibers such that said looped fibers begin and end at said relatively hydrophilic carded nonwoven web;
• c. said tufts of said relatively hydrophilic carded nonwoven web extending through said first relatively hydrophobic web, thereby being disposed on both sides of said topsheet;
• and
• d. wherein said absorbent article exhibits a rewet value of less than about 50 mg when tested by the Rewet Test Method, and a fluid acquisition rate of at least about 1.0 nil/sec when tested by the Fluid Acquisition Test Method.
