<p>An absorbent structure (33) can include a matrix of fibers, wherein the matrix is reinforced with a reinforcing member (40) which strengthens the fibrous matrix against tearing, cracking and bunching in manufacture and/or use. In addition, the reinforcing member (40) is shaped to provide resistance to permanent deformation in the thickness of the fibrous matrix. The reinforcing member (40) has a three dimensional configuration which provides resistance to thickness deformation. Thus, the fibrous matrix is better able to retain its liquid permeability and capacity in use.</p> |
