The present invention relates to absorbent articles like baby diapers, adult incontinence articles and in particular to sanitary napkins or panty liners which have an aperture film topsheet on the surface facing the wearer in use. According to the present invention the articles are provided also with an apertured backsheet for breathability. The backsheet comprises at least one breathable layer of a resilient, three-dimensional web which consists of a liquid impervious polymeric film having apertures.
