An absorbent article, compound and nappy having an insert

The present invention relates to an absorbent article for absorbing fluids and exudates, such as urine. More particularly, the present invention relates to absorbent garments which are configured to absorb body exudates while also helping to reduce the relative humidity in the environment of the article, to reduce skin-exudate contact and to reduced undesired skin hydration. The present invention relates to an absorbent article having a front waist section, a rear waist section, and an intermediate section which interconnects said front and rear waist sections. One embodiment of the absorbent article generally includes: a topsheet having a body-facing surface; a backsheet; an absorbent; and a resilient material positioned between topsheet and the backsheet. The resilient material creates at least one contour which promotes movement of fluid away from one region of the article to another region of the article. The contour of the resilient material desirably creates a hill-like structure.
