ABSTRACT:
In an absorbent article, a formed film topsheet provides good rewet performance and a silky tactile impression in a stroking direction. The topsheet has a plurality of Boat Shape Cells substantially aligned in the stroking direction at a mesh greater than about 25 cells per linear inch, as measured perpendicular to the stroking direction. The topsheet may have additional features to enhance the silky tactile impression such as microridges on the lands between the cells, raised lands in the stroking direction, and other parameters as described in the specification and claimed in the claims.
