Abstract

A patterned apertured web is disclosed. The patterned apertured web includes a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web and a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web. At least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures. The patterned apertured web has an Effective Open Area in the range of about 3% to about 30%, according to the Aperture Test herein. The patterned apertured web has a plurality of Interaperture Distances, according to the Aperture Test herein. The Interaperture Distances have a distribution having a median and a mean. The plurality of apertures include a first set of apertures defining a first shape and a second set of apertures defining a second shape.

wherein the patterned apertured web comprises a portion of a topsheet or a portion of a garment-facing surface of an absorbent article.

2. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein at least one land area of the plurality of land areas has a width of at least 5 mm.

3. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein a fiber of the patterned apertured web extends into at least one of the apertures.

4. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures has an Effective Aperture Area from about 1 mm 2 to about 10 mm 2 .

5. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures has an Effective Aperture Area of less than 1 mm 2 .

6. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures has an Effective Aperture Area of at least 2 mm 2 , and wherein at least one aperture of the plurality of apertures has an Effective Aperture Area of less than 2 mm 2 .

7. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein a first set of apertures of the plurality of apertures forms a first shape, and wherein a second set of apertures of the plurality of apertures forms a second different shape.

8. The patterned apertured web of claim 7 , wherein at least one aperture of the first set of apertures has a different Effective Aperture Area than at least one aperture of the second set of apertures.

9. An absorbent article comprising:

a) the patterned apertured web of claim 1 ;

b) a backsheet;

c) an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the patterned apertured web and the backsheet; and

d) a pair of leg cuffs.

10. The absorbent article of claim 9 , wherein at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures define an indicia that indicates at least one of a lateral or vertical orientation of the absorbent article.

11. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of apertures have an Effective Aperture Area of at least 0.3 mm 2 , according to the Aperture Test.

12. The patterned apertured web of claim 1 , wherein any apertures with an area less than 0.3 mm 2 are discarded when determining the Effective Open Area of the patterned apertured web.

13. A patterned apertured web comprising:

a plurality of land areas in the patterned apertured web;

a plurality of apertures defined in the patterned apertured web, wherein at least some land areas of the plurality of land areas surround at least some apertures of the plurality of apertures;

wherein the plurality of apertures are non-homogeneous in a repeat unit such that at least two apertures of the plurality of apertures have at least a different Absolute Feret Angle, according to an Aperture Test of the present invention;
