An absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet has a first side and a second side, the first side being a body-facing side. The topsheet defines a CD-MD plane and includes a fibrous nonwoven web and tufts, the tufts having fibers of the fibrous nonwoven web. The topsheet further includes first, second and third zones, each zone being characterized in a Z-direction by the zone fiber orientation, wherein the first and third zones are displaced relative to each other and each include fibers having portions orientated substantially parallel to said CD-MD plane of the topsheet. The second zone is intermediate and adjacent to the first and third zones, the second zone including substantially reoriented fibers that are substantially vertically oriented with respect to the CD-MD plane of said topsheet.

What is claimed is: 1. An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the topsheet having a first side and a second side, the first side being a body-facing side, said topsheet defining a CD-MD plane and comprising a fibrous nonwoven web and tufts, said tufts comprising fibers of said fibrous nonwoven web and said tufts extending from said nonwoven web, wherein said absorbent core is disposed between said nonwoven web and said backsheet, a plurality of said fibers of said tufts being looped fibers, said topsheet further comprising first, second and third zones, each said zone being characterized in a Z-direction by the zone fiber orientation, wherein said first and third zones are displaced relative to each other and each comprise fibers having portions orientated substantially parallel to said CD-MD plane of said topsheet, and said second zone is intermediate and adjacent to said first and third zones, said second zone comprising substantially reoriented fibers that are substantially vertically oriented with respect to said CD-MD plane of said topsheet, wherein said second zone comprises broken fibers. 2. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said topsheet is a laminate of a nonwoven and a film, wherein said tufts extend through said film. 3. The absorbent article of claim 2, wherein said nonwoven web is relatively hydrophilic with respect to said film. 4. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts extend out of said fibrous nonwoven web on said first, body-facing side of said topsheet. 5. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts are sufficiently closely spaced so as to cover said first, body-facing side of said topsheet. 6. An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the topsheet having a first side and a second side, the first side being a body-facing side and the second side being in fluid communication with the absorbent core, said topsheet defining a CD-MD plane and comprising a fibrous nonwoven web and tufts, said tufts comprising fibers of said fibrous nonwoven web and said tufts extending from said nonwoven web, wherein said absorbent core is disposed between said nonwoven web and said backsheet, a plurality of said fibers of said tufts being looped fibers, said topsheet further comprising first, second and third zones, each said zone being characterized in a Z-direction by the zone fiber orientation, wherein said first and third zones are displaced relative to each other and each comprise fibers having portions orientated substantially parallel to said CD-MD plane of said topsheet, and said second zone is intermediate and adjacent to said first and third zones, said second zone comprising substantially reoriented fibers that are substantially vertically oriented with respect to said CD-MD plane of said topsheet, said tufts at least partially originating in said second side and extending to a distal body-facing portion, the distal body-facing portion being relatively hydrophobic with respect to the second side. 7. The absorbent article of claim 6 wherein said distal body-facing portion of said tufts is rendered hydrophobic by a lotion composition disposed thereon. 8. The absorbent article of claim 7 wherein said lotion composition comprises a hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) of less than or equal to 7. 9. The absorbent article of claim 7 wherein said lotion composition comprises petrolatum. 10. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said topsheet is a laminate of a nonwoven and a film, wherein said tufts extend through said film. 11. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said tufts are sufficiently closely spaced so as to cover said first, body-facing side of said topsheet. 12. The absorbent article of claim 2, wherein said film is an apertured polymer film. 13. The absorbent article of claim 10, wherein said film is an apertured polymer film. 14. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts have a linear orientation and a longitudinal axis in said CD-MD plane. 15. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts are tunnel shaped tufts. 16. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts and said fibrous nonwoven web have an average fiber diameter, wherein said average fiber diameter of said tufts is less than said average fiber diameter of said fibrous nonwoven web. 17. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts comprise generally aligned fibers. 18. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said tufts comprise looped aligned fibers. 19. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said tufts have a linear orientation and a longitudinal axis in said CD-MD plane. 20. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said tufts are tunnel shaped tufts. 21. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said tufts and said fibrous nonwoven web have an average fiber diameter, wherein said average fiber diameter of said tufts is less than said average fiber diameter of said fibrous nonwoven web. 22. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said tufts comprise generally aligned fibers. 23. The absorbent article of claim 6, wherein said tufts comprise looped aligned fibers.
