PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article having a topsheet and/or an absorbent core that provide different zones with different fluid handling properties so that bodily fluids can be more effectively contained by the absorbent article.SOLUTION: An absorbent article comprises a topsheet 20, a backsheet 30, and an absorbent core 40 disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The absorbent article comprises a first fluid handling zone having a first transverse fluid travel distance, and a second fluid handling zone having a second transverse fluid travel distance. The first transverse fluid travel distance is at least about 50% greater than the second transverse fluid travel distance, which results in an absorbent article that is better able to handle bodily fluids and reduce the risk of accidental leakage of bodily fluids onto a consumer's undergarments. |
