PURPOSE: Described is a method for assessing disposable absorbent structures for their fluid handling ability by using materials having a moisture pick up ability which is very close to the one of human skin. CONSTITUTION: The method is achieved by using materials (110) which do not function based on capillary transport for moisture, but which comprise as an essential element expansible but non-soluble materials in a film form. Such materials (110) can be based on proteins, Glycine, Proline, 4-hydroxyprolin, naturally occurring sugars, glycerin and collagen. A particularly preferred material is a film material comprising collagen. To simulate a baby's weight upon the absorbent structure (10), a load (16) may be utilized therewith.
