摘要

A fiber structure for spontaneously transporting a liquid in a desired direction, said fiber structure being capable of interfiber liquid transport. The fiber structure comprises at least two fibers, wherein the fibers are wettable with a liquid to be contacted with the fiber structure, and a first zone and a second zone, wherein the first zone has an average capillary radius greater than the average capillary radius of the second zone. Also disclosed is a disposable absorbent product capable of absorbing discharged body liquids that includes the fiber structure.
