An absorbent article containing a nonwoven web that includes a plurality of polyolefin fibers is provided. The polyolefin fibers are formed by a thermoplastic composition containing a continuous phase that includes a polyolefin matrix polymer and nanoinclusion additive is provided. The nanoinclusion additive is dispersed within the continuous phase as discrete nano-scale phase domains. When drawn, the nano-scale phase domains are able to interact with the matrix in a unique manner to create a network of nanopores.

The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the continuous phase constitutes from about 60 wt. % to about 99 wt. % of the thermoplastic composition. 8. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the polymeric nanoinclusion additive includes a functionalized polyolefin. 9. The absorbent article of claim 8, wherein the functionalized polyolefin is a polyepoxide. 10. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the polymeric nanoinclusion additive has melt flow rate of from about 0.1 to about 100 grams per 10 minutes determined at a load of 2160 grams and at a temperature at least about 40° C. above the melting temperature in accordance with ASTM D1238. 11. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the ratio of the melt flow rate of the polyolefin matrix polymer to the melt flow rate of the polymeric nanoinclusion additive is from about 0.2 to about 8. 12. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the nano-scale domains have an average cross-sectional dimension of from about 1 nanometer to about 1000 nanometers. 13. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the polymeric nanoinclusion additive constitutes from about 0.05 wt. % to about 20 wt. % of the composition, based on the weight of the continuous phase. 14. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the polymeric microinclusion additive includes a styrenic copolymer, fluoropolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate, or polyester. 15. The absorbent article of claim 14, wherein the polymeric microinclusion additive is polylactic acid. 16. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the micro-scale domains have an average axial dimension of from about 1 micrometer to about 400 micrometers. 17. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the polymeric microinclusion additive constitutes from about 1 wt. % to about 30 wt. % of the composition, based on the weight of the continuous phase. 18. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic composition further comprises an interphase modifier. 19. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the porous network further includes micropores. 20. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the total pore volume of the fibers is from about 15% to about 80% per cubic centimeter. 21. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein nanopores constitute about 20 vol. % or more of the total pore volume of the polyolefin fiber. 22. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic composition has a density of about 0.90 g/cm3 or less. 23. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the nonwoven web is a spunbond web, meltblown web, bonded carded web, coform web, hydraulically entangled web, or a combination thereof. 24. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the backsheet contains the nonwoven web. 25. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the topsheet contains the nonwoven web. 26. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the absorbent member contains the nonwoven web. 27. The absorbent article of claim 26, wherein the absorbent member comprises a core layer, surge layer, transfer delay layer, wrapsheet, ventilation layer, or a combination thereof, and wherein one or more of the layers contains the nonwoven web. 28. The absorbent article of claim 26, wherein the absorbent member comprises a core layer and a surge layer positioned between the core layer and the topsheet, wherein the surge layer contains the nonwoven web. 29. The absorbent article of claim 1, wherein the article contains an additional component that includes the nonwoven web, the additional component including ears, containment flaps, side panels, elastic members, fasteners, or a combination thereof.
