A method is provided, for dissipating and entrapping super absorbent polymer particles (11, 12, 13, 14) within air-permeable, non-woven structures (100), for use in the construction of absorbent articles (600). The method comprises the steps of: (i) of constructing an air-permeable, non-woven structure (100) comprising at least first (1), second (2) and third (3) layers of non-woven fabric, each said layer having void spaces of differing size defined therein; (ii) dispersing absorbent particles (11, 12, 13, 4) onto an external surface (10) of the highest numbered layer of said air- permeable, non-woven structure (100) formed in step (i); and (iii) dissipating the dispersed absorbent particles (11, 12, 13, 14) within the air-permeable, non-woven structure (100) by applying an external energy source acting upon the absorbent particles (11, 12, 13, 14) in a direction substantially normal to the plane of the external surface (10) of the air-permeable, non-woven structure (100). |
