An absorbent article is disclosed which exhibits improved fluid management. The article includes an absorbent having first and second oppositely aligned surfaces and a longitudinally extending central axis. A bicomponent cover is positioned over the first surface of the absorbent and includes a first and a second material. The first material has openings formed therein and is aligned along the longitudinally extending central axis of the absorbent. The second material is nonapertured and is secured to, or positioned adjacent to, the outer periphery of the first material. The first and second materials cooperate to enclose the absorbent. Positioned between the first material and the first surface of the absorbent is a separation means. The separation means directs fluid from the body downward, in the z direction, away from the bicomponent cover, and outward in the x and y directions to provide a more efficient use of the absorbent material. The absorbent article further contains a liquid-impermeable baffle which is positioned adjacent to the second surface of the absorbent.

L'invention porte sur un article absorbant présentant une meilleure gestion des liquides. L'article comporte un élément absorbant ayant une première et une seconde surfaces alignées à l'opposé et un axe central longitudinal. Une enveloppe bicomposante est placée sur la première surface de l'élément absorbant et est composée d'une première et d'une seconde matières. La première matière comprend des ouvertures et est alignée le long de l'axe central longitudinal de l'élément absorbant. La seconde matière ne comporte aucune ouverture et est fixée à la périphérie externe de la première matière ou est placée près de cette dernière. Les première et seconde matières entourent l'élément absorbant. Un élément de séparation, placé entre la première matière et la première surface de l'élément absorbant, dirige les liquides du corps vers le bas dans le sens z, en les éloignant de l'enveloppe bicomposante, et vers l'extérieur dans les sens x et y pour permettre une meilleure utilisation de la matière absorbante. De plus, l'article absorbant comporte une cloison imperméable aux liquides, placée près de la seconde surface de l'élément absorbant.
