A system for detecting wetness in an absorbent article has an absorbent structure, at least one sensor in contact with the absorbent structure, a remote interrogating device, and a reporting element coupled to the interrogating device. The at least one sensor provides a variable electrical output dependent upon an amount of aqueous liquid associated with the absorbent structure. The remote interrogating unit is capable of detecting changes in the variable electrical output of the at least one sensor. A method of controlling liquid bodily exudates is also disclosed. The method includes placing a first disposable article in proximity to a source of liquid bodily exudates, allowing the absorbent structure to absorb liquid bodily exudates, transmitting a signal from a remote interrogating device, detecting a change in the variable electrical output of the at least one sensor, and reporting information based upon the signal detected. The disposable article includes an absorbent structure and at least one sensor associated with the absorbent structure. The sensor provides a variable electrical output dependent upon an amount of aqueous liquid associated with the absorbent structure.
