A disposable absorbent article having a generally liquid permeable liner, an outer cover and an absorbent body between the liner and outer cover for absorbing liquid body waste penetrating the liner. In one embodiment, the absorbent body has a first zone and a second zone, with the first zone having a lower absorbent capacity per unit weight than the second zone and being capable of facilitating the flow of liquid body waste from the first zone back through the liner. In another embodiment, the absorbent body comprises a mixture of hydrophilic fibers and superabsorbent material. The mixture has a concentration of superabsorbent material of between about one percent and about fifteen percent by weight of the mixture to facilitate the flow of liquid body waste from the absorbent body back through the liner.
