Multi-layer absorbent cores and methods of manufacture

An absorbent product comprising:

• a liquid permeable bodyside liner;
• a liquid impermeable barrier layer;
• and
• an absorbent body positioned between the liquid permeable bodyside and the liquid impermeable barrier layer, the absorbent body comprising:
• a top nonwoven layer comprising synthetic fibers forming a liquid permeable web material;
• a bottom nonwoven layer comprising synthetic fibers forming a web material;
• a fibrous nonwoven through-air-bonded-carded web (TABCW) reinforcement layer disposed between the top layer and the bottom layer where the top layer and the bottom layer are bonded directly together and enclose the reinforcement layer, the reinforcement layer having absorbent material embedded within fibers of the reinforcement layer;
• a first absorbent layer disposed between the reinforcement layer and the bottom layer, the first absorbent layer comprising absorbent material which comprises substantially only superabsorbent material;
• a second absorbent layer disposed between the top layer and the reinforcement layer, the second absorbent layer comprising a mixed layer of superabsorbent material and fibrous absorbent material;
• and
• adhesive disposed between the top layer and the second absorbent layer, between the second absorbent layer and the reinforcement layer, and between the first absorbent layer and the bottom layer.
