An indicator (60) is provided for indicating the presence of exudates and is positioned on a body-facing side of the backsheet. The indicator is provided with an electrically conductive material. A detection device is removably attached to the article to become in electrical communication with the indicator when attached to article to measure a change in resistance or capacitance in response to a voiding event.
