Abstract

The embodiments provide an absorbent garment that has an absorbent core that provides for both good leakage and dryness performance. Absorbent garments having a pulpless synthetic core have comparable functionality when compared to more costly absorbent garments having an absorbent core comprising conventional amounts of fluff pulp. The absorbent garments of the embodiments incorporate features that provide good leakage performance and rewet values, while costing considerably less.
