摘要

An absorbent article that provides leakage protection and/or skin protection, as well as methods for using and preparing same and novel compositions and composites for use in same, is disclosed. The absorbent article comprises a selectively-permeable topsheet (40); a substantially impermeable backsheet (50); an absorbent core (8) positioned between said selectively-permeable topsheet (40) and said substantially impermeable backsheet (50). The selectively-permeable topsheet (40) has a treated hydrophilic zone (200) and an untreated hydrophobic zone (202).
