Absorbent product comprising odor control material

Method for producing a hygienic product comprising an odor control material having a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction, said hygienic product comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core enclosed between the top sheet and the back sheet,

• wherein the method comprises the following steps:
• locating the odor control material between the topsheet and the absorbent core;
• providing a first carrier material forming part of the odor control material and having a first surface and a second opposite surface;
• bonding a plurality of odor control particles consisting of activated carbon to at least the first surface by means of a binder substance;
• providing a plurality of transversal slits in the first carrier material, in an unexpanded condition thereof, so that the first carrier material in an expanded condition in the longitudinal direction has a plurality of openings;
• and
• fixing the first carrier material in the expanded condition in the hygienic product whereby the odor control material is in the form of a reticulated structure,
• wherein the hygienic product is an absorbent product,
• wherein the odor control material comprises a second carrier material laminated to the first carrier material in expanded condition so that the first carrier material is fixed to the second carrier material in expanded condition in the form of a reticulated structure with openings,
• wherein the second carrier material is a nonwoven material.
