An absorbent structure can include a matrix of fibers, wherein the matrix is reinforced with a reinforcing member which strengthens the fibrous matrix against tearing, cracking and bunching in manufacture and/or use. In addition, the reinforcing member is shaped to provide resistance to permanent deformation in the thickness of the fibrous matrix. The reinforcing member 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.
