An absorption body (10) is disclosed which is suitable for use in e.g. sanitary napkins. The body includes at least one layer of an absorbent material and has a plurality of longitudinally extending embossed channels (12). In order to promote distribution of discharged body fluid across the absorption body, at least three channels are present, and the layer of absorbent material provides the absorption body (10) with a basis weight of between about 80 and 240 g/m<2>, preferably between about 120 and 160 g/m<2>. The body is produced from a continuous web of material which is embossed by passing the web between a pair of heated rollers. The absorption body may be a laminate of two or more layers of absorbent material and super-absorbent material may be present. <IMAGE> |
