Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article that comprises an absorbent core disposed at least partially intermediate a topsheet and a backsheet and a core wrap enclosing an absorbent material. The core wrap comprises a first material and a second material. The first material forms a C-wrap at least partially around the second material. The absorbent material comprises at least 80% of superabsorbent polymers by weight of the absorbent material. The absorbent core comprises a channel substantially free of the superabsorbent polymers, at least partially oriented in a longitudinal direction of the article, and comprising an arcuate portion. The channel has lateral widths taken parallel to a lateral axis of the article. The profile of the lateral widths of the channel over a longitudinal length of at least 50 mm of the channel taken along the longitudinal axis is substantially constant.
