ABSORBENT ARTICLE

摘要

An absorbent article is described which comprises a fluid-receiving layer (6) having a high bulkiness of at least 15 cm<3>/g, as measured under a pressure of 2 kPa. This is in fluid communication with a fluid-storage layer (7) to which the layer (16) releases substantially all of the fluid which it receives. The layer (6) is preferably in the form of an airlaid web of synthetic, staple fibers. The layer (7) is preferably a cellulose/hydrogel laminate. The article can be provided with a fluid-permeable topsheet and a fluid-impermeable backsheet, and is particularly suitable for use by women suffering from light incontinence.
