A urinary incontinence pad for females comprises at least one comparatively flat cushion-shaped absorption body placed between a liquid-impermeable barrier layer on the underside and a liquid-dispersive tissue layer on the upper side and surrounded by a cover of nonwoven fabric material. The absorption body, the liquid-dispersive layer thermoplastically bonded thereto and the barrier layer may as a unitary structure (6) be folded into a configuration of an inverted pleat in which a longitudinal interspace between the top layers (11, 12) facing the user operates as a drainage channel (13) to a subjacent coherent backing layer (10). The absorption body contains a uniform distribution of superabsorbent material and an addition of thermoplastic fibers to obtain a reinforced network structure and said thermoplastic bonding of the liquid-dispersive layer. The product may include a number of absorption bodies with varying concentration of superabsorbent material and such designs may as internal liquid transfer layers include a plane non-folded body of cellulose fibers without superabsorbent material. |
