Process for preparing an animal incontinence device

A process for preparing an animal incontinence device, comprising the steps of:

• providing a base layer of tissue;
• applying a uniform layer of superabsorbent polymer particles to a major surface of the base layer of tissue;
• repeating the two prior steps at least one time;
• applying water to the base layers of tissue having the uniform layers of superabsorbent polymer particles thereon;
• applying a cover layer of tissue over the base layers of tissue having the uniform layers of superabsorbent polymer particles thereon, to form an absorbent layer assembly;
• passing the absorbent layer assembly between a heated nip roll and a laminating roll, to at least partially adhere together the cover layer of tissue, uniform layers of superabsorbent polymer particles, and base layers of tissue, to form an absorbent layer;
• inserting the absorbent layer intermediate a base layer of liquid-impervious polymer film and a top layer of porous, hydrophilic, woven or non-woven polymer fibers, to form an animal incontinence device assembly;
• and
• laminating together at least a portion of the animal incontinence device assembly.
