Claim:
An absorbent garment comprising: an absorbent core, including a superabsorbent polymer material, a hot melt adhesive, and a core cover; wherein the core cover surrounds at least a part of the absorbent core and includes a nonwoven web; wherein the nonwoven web has: a layer of meltblown fibers sandwiched between two nonwoven layers of spunbonded fibers, and a weight of the spunbond fibers ranges from 80% to 95% of a basis weight of the nonwoven web; the basis weight ranging from 8 to 20 g/m 2 before being subjected to a first prescribed strain; an initial air permeability of less than 60 m 3 /(m 2 ·min) before being subjected to a first prescribed strain; and a subsequent air permeability that is less than 18% greater than the initial air permeability after the nonwoven web is subjected to the first prescribed strain; and wherein the first prescribed strain is at least 10%.
