A liquid absorbent material which possesses excellent swellability and retention of a liquid absorbed in a perpendicular direction and is suitable for mass production and reduced in production cost. This material comprises natural cellulosic and/or synthetic fibers, a heat fusible material, and a thickening material and is produced by mixing and disintegrating the above starting materials in air to form a mat, heating the mat to the melting point of the hot fusible material or above, and compressing the mat by means of a press roll to fix the thickening material in the web. |
