The present invention relates to a disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper, training pants, adult incontinence article, having a specific topsheet with an opening to receive bowel movement waste (BM) and which is such that it masks the waste present underneath said topsheet. The topsheet is air permeable and it has a uniform pore size distribution with small pores only and it has a low surface energy and therefore an alcohol repellency of at least 7, typically at least 9 or even preferably 10.

What is claimed is: 1. A disposable absorbent article comprising: a backsheet, which in use faces the garment of the wearer; a topsheet, which has an inner surface facing the backsheet and an outer surface, which in use faces the wearer's body, said topsheet comprising a slit opening disposed along
What is claimed is: 1. A disposable absorbent article comprising: a backsheet, which in use faces the garment of the wearer; a topsheet, which has an inner surface facing the backsheet and an outer surface, which in use faces the wearer's body, said topsheet comprising a slit opening disposed along a longitudinal axis of the disposable absorbent article, wherein the slit opening is configured to allow bodily exudates to pass through the slit opening to a void space for receiving bodily exudates therein, said void space being positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet; wherein said topsheet further comprises at least one sheet of fibrous material having pores with a uniform pore size distribution and with a maximum pore size of less than 100 μm; and wherein the slit opening is unobstructed by the at least one sheet of fibrous material, and wherein said topsheet has an air-permeability of at least 3 Darcy/mm, and wherein said topsheet has an alcohol repellency of at least 7.0. 2. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein said topsheet has a BM rewet value of less than 4.5 g. 3. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet has a basis weight of less than 40 g/m2 and comprises a meltblown non-woven web. 4. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the pores of the topsheet have a mean pore size of less than 20 μm. 5. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet comprises a laminate of one or more spunbonded webs and one or more meltblown webs or one or more meltblown webs and one or more carded webs. 6. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet comprises a masking facilitating agent selected from fluorocarbon compounds or siloxane compounds. 7. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the slit opening has longitudinally opposing side edges, and one or more elasticated regions disposed along each of the side edges wherein the elasticated regions are longer than the side edges of the slit opening, extending longitudinally from said side edges, each elasticated region having one or more longitudinal extending elastic bands. 8. The disposable absorbent article of claim 7, wherein the elasticated regions or a part thereof that faces the wearer's body in use, comprises a friction reducing agent. 9. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, further comprising an additional sheet, positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, being a three-dimensional web of fibres, having a width, length and thickness (caliper) dimension, said 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 the surface area of the unbonded regions is at least 2 mm2 and wherein the topsheet has a thickness (caliper) of between 0.1 and 5 mm. 10. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the disposable absorbent article is a diaper or training pants. 11. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet has an air permeability of at least 10 Darcy/mm and an alcohol repellency of at least 9. 12. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet has an air permeability of at least 10 Darcy/mm and a BM rewet value of less than 3.5 g. 13. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the pores of the topsheet have a mean pore size that is less than 17 μm. 14. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the pores of the topsheet have a mean pore size that is less than 13 μm. 15. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the pores of the topsheet have a mean pore size that is less than 10 μm. 16. The disposable absorbent article of claim 8, wherein the friction reducing agent is a lotion or powder which comprises at least one of the following: talc or wax. 17. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet has an air permeability of at least 20 Darcy/mm and an alcohol repellency of at least 10. 18. The disposable absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet has an air permeability of at least 10 Darcy/mm and an alcohol repellency of at least 10. 19. A disposable absorbent article comprising: a backsheet, which in use faces the garment of the wearer; a topsheet, which has an inner surface, facing the backsheet and an outer surface, facing in use the wearer's body; an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet; wherein said topsheet comprises a slit opening that provides a passageway to a void space for receiving bodily exudates therein, said void space being positioned between the topsheet and the absorbent core; and wherein said topsheet has an alcohol repellency of at least 7.0 and comprises a film with pores in the form of slanted cones which close under increased pressure, said film being superposed on a fibrous sheet, wherein the slit opening is unobstructed by the fibrous sheet.
