Abstract:
A liquid-permeable topsheet used in a disposable body fluids absorbent garment adapted to be put in contact with the skin of a wearer and to absorb body fluids, the topsheet comprising:a plurality of first ribs extending in parallel one to another in one direction and a plurality of second ribs extending in parallel one to another so as to intersect said first ribs, each of these ribs having an upper side intended to be put in contact with the skin of a wearer and a lower side opposed to said upper side, and each pair of adjacent said first ribs intersecting each pair of adjacent said second ribs to define an air- and moisture-permeably opened region around which at least one of said respective pairs of first and second ribs have respective crests configured in the same manner so that, between each pair of adjacent intersections of said first and second ribs, each of said crests underlies an imaginary straight line connecting said pair of adjacent intersections.
