A disposable waste containment composite is disclosed for fabrication into baby diapers, incontinent briefs, feminine hygiene pads, incontinent under pads and sheets, wound dressings and the like. The composite is formed from a liquid permeable topsheet, an absorbent core and an impermeable backing sheet unified by the use of adhesives, heat and pressure, ultra sonic welding and the like. The composite is characterized in that its topsheet has been treated with a non-aqueous composition comprising propylene glycol, a non-water soluble protectant, and a surface active agent. The treatment composition can also preferably include an emollient an anti-odorant, a healing agent or the like. A unique feature of the treatment is that the non-water soluble components do not restrict or interfere with the passage of bodily waste into the absorbent core. The top sheet so treated delivers in use the protectant and other agents such as the healing agent, to the surface of the skin so that when the fabricated article is employed, the incidence of contact dermatitis, skin irritations, maceration and pressure ulcers are reduced. In addition, the use of this unique topsheet treatment reduces friction which, along with the other benefits, can virtually eliminate the need for separately using medicated creams, ointments or powders.
