A disposable absorbent article with a backsheet and a first topsheet, is capable of being at least partially in contact with the wearer's skin when in use. The first topsheet being a fibrous three-dimensional web, having bonded regions where the fibers are bonded to another, and unbonded regions, where the fibers are unbonded to one another. The fibers extend from at least one unbonded region into at least two bonded regions, typically in the form of loops. The bonded regions form the support structure for the unbonded regions, and the surface area of the unbonded regions is at least 2 mm2. The topsheet has a thickness (caliper) of between 0.1 and 5 mm.

What is claimed is: 1. A disposable absorbent article with a backsheet and a first topsheet, which in use is capable of being at least partially in contact with a wearer's skin, said first topsheet being a unitary three-dimensional web of fibers with no backing, having a width, length and thickness
What is claimed is: 1. A disposable absorbent article with a backsheet and a first topsheet, which in use is capable of being at least partially in contact with a wearer's skin, said first topsheet being a unitary three-dimensional web of fibers with no backing, having a width, length and thickness (caliper) dimension, said unitary three-dimensional web having bonded regions, where the fibers are bonded to one another, and unbonded regions, where the fibers are unbonded to one another, wherein the fibers extend from at least one bonded region through at least one unbonded region to at least one other bonded region and wherein the bonded regions form a support structure for the unbonded regions and each of the unbonded regions has a surface area of at least 2 mm2 and wherein the topsheet has a thickness (caliper) of between 0.1 and 5 mm, wherein the support structure defines a plane having a first side and a second side disposed opposite the first side; wherein a plurality of the fibers extending through the unbonded regions define loops; wherein each one of the plurality of fibers: extends from a first bonded region outward from the plane away from the first side and curves to extend toward the first side of the plane; passes through a second bonded region and extends outward from the plane away from the second side and curves to extend toward the second side of the plane; and passes through a third bonded region and extends outward from the plane away from the first side; and wherein the unitary three-dimensional web of fibers defines a convex surface area wherein at least 25% of the convex surface area has no apertures having an area of more than 1 mm2; and wherein the first topsheet has a BM transfer value of less than 15%, a BM grabbing value of at least 75%, and a resistance to compression greater than 10% and less than 35%. 2. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the surface area of the unbonded regions is more than 20 mm2, and the bonded regions have a width dimension that is less than 5 mm. 3. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1 further comprising a second topsheet, positioned over the body-facing side of the first topsheet, said second topsheet having an opening, which provides a passageway to a primary void space for receiving bodily exudates therein, said void space being positioned between the second topsheet and the first topsheet, and wherein the second topsheet is elasticated. 4. The disposable absorbent article of claim 3, wherein said second topsheet comprises at least one sheet of fibrous material with a uniform pore size distribution and with a maximum pore size of less than 100 μm, and wherein said second topsheet has an air-permeability of at least 3 Darcy/mm, and wherein said second topsheet has an alcohol repellency of at least 7.0. 5. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, the first topsheet and the backsheet having lengths that are about equal. 6. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the first topsheet has a Trans Topsheet Capacity of less than 0.2 g/inch2 in at least 25% of the convex surface area. 7. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the first topsheet has a Trans Topsheet Penetration of less than 6×10-2 g/cm2 in at least 25% of the convex surface area. 8. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the first topsheet is a carded web. 9. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the surface area of the unbonded regions is more than 30 mm2, and the bonded regions have a width dimension that is less than 5 mm. 10. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein at least 25% of the convex surface area has no apertures having an area of more than 0.5 mm2. 11. The disposable absorbent article of claim 3, wherein said second topsheet comprises at least one sheet of fibrous material with a uniform pore size distribution and with a maximum pore size of less than 50 μm and wherein said second topsheet has an air-permeability of at least 3 Darcy/mm, and wherein said second topsheet has an alcohol repellency of at least 7.0. 12. The disposable absorbent article of claim 3, wherein said second topsheet comprises at least one sheet of fibrous material with a uniform pore size distribution and with a maximum pore size of less than 50 μm and wherein said second topsheet has an air-permeability of at least 20 Darcy/mm, and wherein said second topsheet has an alcohol repellency of at least 10.0. 13. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the surface area of the unbonded regions is more than 40 mm2, and the bonded regions have a width dimension that is less than 1 mm. 14. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the bonded regions are in the form of a line of not connected dots, not connected squares, or not connected lines. 15. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the bonded regions are in the form of lines and at least one bonded region crosses another bonded region.
