The present disclosure is directed, in part, to an absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and an absorbent core positioned at least partially intermediate the liquid permeable topsheet and the liquid impermeable backsheet. The liquid permeable topsheet may comprise a flow control material. The flow control material may form an at least mostly enclosed perimeter over at least a portion of the absorbent core. The flow control material may extend outwardly from the liquid permeable topsheet and/or may penetrate a portion of the liquid permeable topsheet.
