A method for forming a launderable fluid containment textile structure composite (12) of stitch bonded construction such as is useful in an incontinence pad (10) or diaper (17) and a textile composite formed by such method. The textile composite (12) includes a fluid retention layer (20) of non-woven batting formed from a plurality of intermingled textile fibers. A plurality of bonding yarns (24) extend in a repeating stitch bonding pattern through the fluid retention layer (20) such that the bonding yarns (24) form a user contact surface over the fluid retention layer (20). The stitch bonding pattern is characterized by a relatively low stitch density. Enhanced bulkiness and dimensional stability against laundering induced shrinkage is imparted by introduction of mechanically induced compressive shrinkage. |
