An absorbent article is disclosed including a fluid and vapor pervious co mbination sheet having a shape defining a longitudinal axis, a minimum later al dimension and a maximum lateral dimension, and a containment assembly hav ing a shape defining a maximum lateral dimension which is less than the maxi mum lateral dimension of the combination sheet. The containment assembly inc ludes a central, fluid permeable portion of the combination sheet; a fluid i mpermeable backing film disposed beneath the combination sheet; and an absor bent core sandwiched between the central portion of the combination sheet an d the backing film. The containment assembly is integrally attached to the c ombination sheet along the longitudinal axis, and the combination sheet form s a plurality of breathable regions laterally disposed beyond the containmen t assembly. The backing film forms at least a portion of a stay away zone th at resists engagement by the laterally disposed breathable regions. |
