Abstract
An absorbent article is disclosed comprising a unitary absorbent layer having a central portion and an outer portion divided in part but not completely separated by one or more slits along a boundary surrounding the outer portion, further comprising a wicking barrier along at least a portion of the boundary. The central portion and outer portion of the unitary absorbent layer remain contiguous across one or more joining zones. A central rising member can be disposed beneath the central portion of the unitary absorbent layer to urge the central portion toward the body of the user when compressed laterally inward. The article is able to achieve good center-fill performance when in use and maintain excellent body fit.
