An absorbent article comprising: a liquid permeable topsheet; a liquid impermeable backsheet; an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet; and a substantially laterally-extending separation element defining a visual front portion and a visual back portion on a wearer-facing surface of the absorbent article; wherein the liquid permeable topsheet comprises a first zone in the visual front portion that comprises a first geometric treatment and a second zone in the visual back portion that comprises a second geometric treatment, wherein: - the first geometric treatment or the second geometric treatment comprises areas where portions of a liquid management system, positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the absorbent core, extend into or through the liquid permeable topsheet; or - wherein the first geometric treatment or the second geometric treatment comprises areas where portions of the liquid permeable topsheet extend into or through a liquid management system positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the absorbent core; or - wherein the first geometric treatment comprises first areas where portions of a liquid management system, positioned intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the absorbent core, extend into or through the liquid permeable topsheet or comprise first areas where portions of the liquid permeable topsheet extend into or through the liquid management system, wherein the second geometric treatment comprises second areas where portions of the liquid management system extend into or through the liquid permeable topsheet or comprises second areas where portions of the liquid permeable topsheet extend into or through the liquid management system, and wherein the first and second geometric treatments are different. a liquid permeable topsheet;
