A hygiene product, e.g. a tampon or a sanitary towel, includes liquid-absorbing fibres in the form of a non-woven material. In addition to the liquid-absorbing fibres, the non-woven material incorporates, in at least one outer layer thereof, meltable fibres, which are fused together to form a net-like structure. In a method for producing hygiene products, such as a tampon or a sanitary towel, the liquid-absorbing fibres are formed into a non-woven material, which is then formed into the hygiene product. The meltable fibres are supplied to the liquid-absorbing fibres in a manner such that the meltable fibres are incorporated in at least one outer layer of the non-woven material, whereafter heat is applied to this outer layer in a manner to cause the meltable fibres therein to fuse together, to form a net-like structure. |
