A conformable absorbent article (10) has a topsheet (26) that is designed to substantially fully contact the body of the wearer to provide improved performance in managing and containing body wastes. Management and containment of body wastes are improved by several structural elements that can be utilized individually or collectively. Some of these elements are a waste-containment pocket (56) formed between the topsheet (26) and backsheet (30), an opening (38) in the topsheet (26) for receiving body wastes therethrough, a pair of containment flaps (50) and a pair of side flaps (60), and an expandable backsheet (30) to retain body wastes therein. <IMAGE>
