The present invention provides an absorbent article having longitudinal direction, a lateral direction, a second portion and a first portion. This absorbent article has a topsheet which has a first major surface that forms a body-facing surface. In addition, the absorbent article has a backsheet which has a second major surface disposed distally from the first major surface. The second major surface of the backsheet forms a garment facing surface of the absorbent article. On the second portion of the top sheet on the first major surface, a body adhesive is applied. In the first portion of the absorbent article, a garment attachment device for attaching the absorbent article to an undergarment of a user is present. The body adhesive applied to the topsheet serves to attach and hold the absorbent article to the body of a user, thereby assisting to prevent the absorbent article from twisting or bunching during normal use and the garment attachment device present on the first portion of the absorbent personal care article serves to hold the absorbent article in contact with the undergarment of the user.
