摘要

A stitchbonded absorbent article and method of making same are presented. The article exhibits good hand, repeated washing durability, and absorbency. The article includes first and second layers which are mechanically held together by stitches of yarn, at a stitch density ranging from about 15 to about 35 st/10 cm, and stitch gauge ranging from about 10 to about 40, using a stitching yarn comprising at least two compositionally different fibers having different heat stability being at least partially melt-bonded together at points of mutual contact, the yarn being melt-bonded at least partially to outer surfaces of the article.
