Process of producing an absorbent member

摘要

An absorbent article has an absorbent member 1 containing a web 2 of hydrophilic long fibers. The long fibers have a crimp percentage of 40% to 90% and are oriented in the planar direction of the absorbent member 1. The web 2 has a superabsorbent polymer embeddedly supported therein. The absorbent member 1 preferably has two or more webs 2 and a superabsorbent polymer layer 3 sprinkled between the webs 2, with part of the superabsorbent polymer being embeddedly supported in the web 2.
