Nonwoven webs having excellent fluid handling characteristics are disclosed. The nonwoven webs are made from a combination of binder fibers and structure fibers. The nonwoven webs can be made exclusively from polyolefin polymers without having to contain polyester fibers. Although the webs can be used in numerous applications, the nonwoven materials are particularly well suited as a surge layer in an absorbent article.
