Absorbent article with high absorbent material content

An absorbent article comprising a front edge, a back edge, a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, a length L as measured along the longitudinal axis from the front edge to the back edge, and a crotch point defined as the point placed at a distance two fifths of L from the front edge of the article on the longitudinal axis, the absorbent article comprising:

• a liquid permeable topsheet;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• a pair of barrier leg cuffs extending at least partially between the front edge and the back edge of the absorbent article on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and present at least at the longitudinal position of the crotch point, each barrier leg cuff being delimited by a proximal edge joined directly or indirectly to the topsheet or the backsheet and a free terminal edge;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet and comprising a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material, wherein the absorbent core comprises two or more channels at least partially oriented in the longitudinal direction of the article;
• wherein the two or more channels remains or becomes visible at least through the topsheet and/or backsheet when the absorbent article is loaded with a fluid as disclosed in the Wet Channel Integrity Test herein;
• and
• wherein a majority of the two or more channels is disposed inboard of the free edges of the barrier leg cuffs when the article is in a flattened state.

• a liquid permeable topsheet;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• a pair of barrier leg cuffs extending at least partially between the front edge and the back edge of the absorbent article on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and present at least at the longitudinal position of the crotch point, each barrier leg cuff being delimited by a proximal edge joined directly or indirectly to the topsheet or the backsheet and a free terminal edge;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet and comprising a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material, wherein the absorbent core comprises at least one channel at least partially oriented in the longitudinal direction of the article wherein the at least one channel is defined by continuous side portions;
• wherein the at least one channel remains or becomes visible at least through the topsheet and/or backsheet when the absorbent article is loaded with a fluid as disclosed in the Wet Channel Integrity Test herein;
• wherein the article has a Relative Crotch Width Reduction (RCWR) of from about 30 mm/kg to about 51 mm/kg, wherein the RCWR is calculated according to the formula:
• RCWR
• =
• Wd
• -
• Ww
• Mw
• -
• Md
• wherein Wd is the dry crotch width, wherein Ww is the wet crotch width at the crotch point, wherein Mw is the wet mass of the article, wherein Md is the dry mass of the article, wherein the measurements are made as indicated according to RCWR Test, and wherein the article has a dry crotch width Wd of from about 70 mm to about 200 mm.

An absorbent article comprising a front edge, a back edge, a longitudinal axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the article, a length L as measured along the longitudinal axis from the front edge to the back edge, and a crotch point defined as the point placed at a distance two fifths of L from the front edge of the article on the longitudinal axis, the absorbent article comprising:

• a liquid permeable topsheet;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• a pair of barrier leg cuffs extending at least partially between the front edge and the back edge of the absorbent article on opposite sides of the longitudinal axis and present at least at the longitudinal position of the crotch point, each barrier leg cuff being delimited by a proximal edge joined directly or indirectly to the topsheet or the backsheet and a free terminal edge;
• an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet and comprising a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material, wherein the absorbent core comprises at least one channel at least partially oriented in the longitudinal direction of the article;
• wherein the at least one channel remains or becomes visible at least through the topsheet and/or backsheet when the absorbent article is loaded with a fluid as disclosed in the Wet Channel Integrity Test herein;
• wherein the absorbent article comprises an acquisition-distribution system comprising one or more layers, and wherein the acquisition-distribution system is at least partially disposed between the absorbent core and the topsheet wherein the acquisition-distribution system comprises at least one layer comprising at least about 50% by weight of the layer of cross-linked cellulose fibers.
