10.18.11
A sanitary napkin with a longitudinal axis defining a longitudinal orientation and longitudinally-oriented side edges, a transverse axis orthogonal to the said longitudinal axis, a thickness measured orthogonal to a plan defined by the said longitudinal axis and the said transverse axis. This napkin comprises a facing layer joined to a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the facing layer and the backsheet. The facing layer comprises a first region comprising a plurality of apertures and a second region comprising a number of out-of-plan deformations wherein each out-of-plane deformation has a longitudinal length less than a longitudinal length of the sanitary napkin and no out-of-plan deformation has a longitudinal length equal to the longitudinal length of the sanitary napkin.
