ABSTRACT:
An absorbent article includes a conduit means which is located on a body facing surface along a longitudinal centerline of said absorbent article for collecting and transporting fecal material. The conduit means is configured to maintain at least partial contact with a gluteal fold region between a wearer's buttocks when in use. The conduit means includes an inner surface which defines an internal void volume for containing the fecal material and at least one opening through the inner surface to allow the fecal material to pass into the internal void volume. The conduit means also defines a relatively high resistance to compression and level of flexibility for improved performance.
