Crimped Fiber Spunbond Nonwoven Webs/Laminate

Abstract

A disposable absorbent article having a crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web is described herein. The disposable absorbent article has a topsheet, a backsheet attached to the topsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web is either at least a portion of the topsheet or the backsheet or at least a portion of the topsheet and the backsheet. The crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web includes a plurality of apertures extending therethrough.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A disposable absorbent article comprising:
 a topsheet comprising a crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web comprising a portion of the topsheet and/or backsheet, and wherein the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web comprises a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, wherein the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web comprises a plurality of out-of-plane deformations and wherein the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web comprises a plurality of calendar bonds forming a calendar bonded area of about 10 percent to about 18 percent;   a backsheet attached to the topsheet;   an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; and   wherein the disposable absorbent article comprises a first zone, second zone, and a third zone, wherein each of the first zone, second zone, and third zone, extend generally in a longitudinal direction, and wherein the third zone is disposed between the first zone and second zone, and wherein the plurality of apertures are disposed in the third zone.   
     
     
         2 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 1 , further comprising a layer between the topsheet and the absorbent core, wherein the layer comprises at least one of a secondary topsheet, an acquisition layer, or distribution layer, and wherein a plurality of bond sites join the topsheet to the layer between the topsheet and the absorbent core. 
     
     
         3 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 2 , wherein the first zone and the second zone each comprise a plurality of out-of-plane deformations comprising at least one of ridges, grooves, caps, and tufts. 
     
     
         4 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 1  wherein the topsheet comprises a laminate structure comprising the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web and a spunbond nonwoven web. 
     
     
         5 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 4 , wherein the spunbond nonwoven web comprises a hydrophilic treatment. 
     
     
         6 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 4 , wherein the spunbond nonwoven web forms a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the disposable absorbent article and wherein the spunbond nonwoven web comprises a hydrophobic treatment. 
     
     
         7 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 6 , wherein the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web comprises a hydrophilic treatment. 
     
     
         8 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 1 , wherein the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web comprises a heterogeneous structure comprising at least a first plurality of continuous fibers and a second plurality of continuous fibers, wherein the first plurality of continuous fibers and the second plurality of continuous fibers are different. 
     
     
         9 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 8 , wherein the crimped fiber spunbond nonwoven web forms a portion of a wearer-facing surface of the disposable absorbent article and wherein the first plurality of continuous fibers comprises a hydrophobic melt additive. 
     
     
         10 . The disposable absorbent article of  claim 9 , wherein the second plurality of continuous fibers comprises a hydrophilic melt additive.
