1. An absorbent article for use with an ostomy appliance, comprising:
a core structure having a front surface and a body facing surface and two layers of absorbent material, said core structure having:
a first layer of absorbent material having a first thickness and a first aperture with a first diameter, said first layer of absorbent material having contour features including compression channels extending into said absorbent material and extending radially outwardly from said first aperture toward exterior edge of the absorbent article to draw fluid toward a central area of said absorbent article,a second layer of absorbent material with a second thickness and a second aperture having a second diameter, said second thickness being substantially greater than said first thickness and said second diameter of said second aperture being substantially greater than said first diameter,said first and second layers of absorbent materials having greater fluid permeability near said apertures and less fluid permeability away from said apertures, said greater thickness of said second layer of absorbent material at said second diameter creating a thicker absorbent barrier substantially near the perimeter defined by said second diameter to prevent leakage; a fluid permeable top sheet, having an outer border and a third thickness and a third aperture with said first diameter, placed on said body facing surface of said core structure; a fluid impermeable back sheet, having an outer border and a fourth thickness and a fourth aperture with said first diameter, placed on said front surface of said core structure, said outer border of said fluid permeable top sheet and said outer border of said fluid impermeable back sheet are secured together to enclose said two layers of absorbent material in said core structure between said fluid permeable top sheet and said fluid impermeable back sheet; and wherein said fluid permeable top sheet and said fluid impermeable back sheet both have a corresponding aperture located and adapted to surround an ostomy appliance flange.
