Abstract

The present invention relates to an improved body contacting surface or topsheet for an absorbent device which is in contact with the aqueous tissue of the user's body. The aqueous body tissue may include, but is not limited to, aqueous tissue such as interlabial skin or tissue and mucosal tissue such as vaginal tissue. In one non-limiting embodiment, the topsheet comprises a moderately hydrophilic to substantially hydrophobic nonwoven web that is not absorbent. The topsheet is disposed on absorbent devices such as sanitary napkins, tampons, panty liners, interlabial devices, incontinence devices, bandages, and other articles. The present invention also relates to a method of retaining exudates from a source of exudates in a user. wherein at least a portion of the exudate source is located within an aqueous film having an irregular surface, such as the interlabial or intravaginal region of a female user. The present invention also relates to an absorbent article insertable into the interlabial region of a female user, the absorbent article comprising an absorbent storage core and a body-contacting vaginal discharge-receiving layer disposed over a on the storage core. Needle-punched communication is provided between the absorbent storage core and the body-contacting exudates-receiving layer. Additionally, the absorbent storage core includes a unitary web of fibrous material and may optionally include an absorbent gelling material and a plurality of perforations. The absorbent article also includes an insertion device, which may be an absorbent article inserter or a foldable reinforcing tongue integral with the absorbent article, the reinforcing tongue having fold lines.
