ABSTRACT The present invention pertains, in a particularly preferred embodiment, to an apertured, macroscopically expanded, resilient three-dimensional polymeric web which is believed to have particular utility as a breatheable barrier for a disposable bandage such as a diaper. The web preferably comprises a deeply drawn three-dimensional structure containing a multiplicity of debossments of macroscopic (i.e., visibly perceivable by the normal human eye at a perpendicular distance of about one foot) cross-section, each of said debossments originating as an aperture in a first surface of the web and having a continuously interconnected side wall extending in the direction of a second, remotely located parallel surface of the web. The side wall of each debossment terminates to form an end wall in the second surface of the web. The end wall includes a multiplicity of apertures, each of said apertures being sized and shaped to independently support an aqueous fluid meniscus. The smaller apertures in each end wall are so spaced relative to all adjacent apertures in the end wall that the aqueous fluid menisci supported in the apertures do not contact one another or the side wall. In a disposable absorbent bandage context, the second surface of the web containing the end walls with small apertures therein is placed in contact with the absorbent core portion of the bandage and the surface of the web in which the debossments originate is oriented so as to contact the wearer s outer garments in use.
