Method of mass-producing disposable absorbent articles exhibiting consistent absorbency characteristics and disposable absorbent articles made thereby

Abstract

A method of making, e.g., mass-producing, disposable absorbent articles, e.g., diapers, exhibiting consistent fluid absorption characteristics and the articles produced thereby. The method comprises providing a top-sheet and a fluid absorbent core, e.g., pulp with SAP and a binder. A composite fluid acquisition system is provided between the top sheet and the core and comprises a first fluid acquisition layer, e.g., a three-dimensional apertured film, and a fluid absorbency enhancing layer of an air-laid substrate. The first fluid acquisition layer is located under the top-sheet and over the fluid absorbency enhancing layer at the fluid intake zone. A second fluid acquisition layer comprises a fibrous, fluid pervious material may be provided located under the first fluid acquisition layer at the fluid intake zone.
