An absorbent article that contains a topsheet having embossed regions is provided. The embossed regions propagate in a longitudinal direction of the article in the form of a wave having one or more alternating crest (peaks) and troughs (valleys). Such a wave pattern helps slow down the flow of bodily fluid by directing it along a tortuous path defined by the densified edges rather than in a straight line. Among other things, this reduction in flow rate can help provide sufficient time for the absorbent core to absorb the fluid, which is particularly helpful when it is already partially filled with fluid. Nevertheless, bodily fluids can still sometimes pool near the crests and/or troughs and result in leakage. To help counteract this tendency, the present inventors have discovered that a plurality of apertures can be employed in the topsheet that are arranged in a column that generally extends in a longitudinal direction of the article. At least a portion of the apertures are located proximate to contiguous crests and/or contiguous troughs of the embossed region. Without intending to be limited by theory, it is believed that the registration of the apertures with contiguous crests and/or contiguous troughs of the embossed region puts them in a better position to receive bodily fluids that tend to pool around the embossed regions and thus reduce the likelihood of leakage.提供一種吸收性物件,其具有一設有壓花區的頂片。該壓花區以具有一或更多交替波峰(尖峰)及波谷(深谷)的波浪形式,在該物件的長向上延伸。這樣的波紋,藉由引導體液沿著一條由密化邊緣所界定的扭曲途徑(並非直線),而有助於降低體液流速。除其他者外,這種流速下降,能夠有助於提供充足的時間給予該吸收性核心,以便吸收該流體,這在該核心係部份地已充填該流體時,係特別地有幫助的。唯,體液仍然有時被傾倒於該波峰及/或波谷附近,及造成滲漏。為了幫助抵銷此種傾向,本發明人已經發現的是,多數個孔洞能夠加以運用於頂片,該孔洞係已加以安置成一條緃列,而通常在該物件的長向上延伸。至少一部份的孔洞係安置在壓花區的接續波峰及/或接續波谷附近。在不想受到理論限制之下,一般吾人相信的是,依照該壓花區之接續波峰及/或接續波谷而加以配置的孔洞,使它們處於較佳的位置,以便接收可能被傾倒在該壓花區周圍的體液,因而降低滲漏的可能性。20‧‧‧婦女保健吸收性物件26‧‧‧頂片27‧‧‧體側表面30‧‧‧吸收性核心32‧‧‧吸入層42‧‧‧翅部99‧‧‧外緣122、122a~122l‧‧‧壓花區125‧‧‧波峰127‧‧‧波谷150‧‧‧孔洞180‧‧‧非壓花區
