An absorbent article comprising:

• a. a fluid-entangled body facing material comprising:
• i. a support layer comprising a plurality of fibers and opposed first and second surfaces;
• ii. a projection layer comprising a plurality of fibers and opposed inner and outer surfaces, the second surface of the support layer in contact with the inner surface of the projection layer, fibers of at least one of the support layer and the projection layer being fluid-entangled with fibers of the other of the support layer and the projection layer;
• iii. a plurality of hollow projections formed from a first plurality of the plurality of fibers in the projection layer, the plurality of hollow projections extending from the outer surface of the projection layer in a direction away from the support layer;
• and
• iv. a land area, wherein the plurality of hollow projections are surrounded by the land area;
• b. an outer cover;
• c. an absorbent body positioned between the fluid-entangled body facing material and the outer cover, the absorbent body including a wearer facing surface, two opposing edges, and a garment facing surface;
• and
• d. a fluid transfer layer positioned between the fluid-entangled body facing material and the absorbent body, the fluid transfer layer at least partially encompassing the absorbent body by being in contact with the wearer facing surface and at least one of the two opposing edges of the absorbent body.
