Fluid absorption and distribution enhancement systems

A method of enhancing fluid absorption and distribution enhancement under load comprising:

• providing a fluid absorption and distribution enhancement product under an applied load, wherein the fluid absorption and distribution enhancement product comprises at least two flow media layers, and at least one superabsorbent polymer layer comprising one or more flow channels extending therethrough, wherein the two flow media layers comprise an upper flow media layer and a lower flow media layer, and wherein the superabsorbent polymer layer is disposed between the upper flow media layer and lower flow media layer;
• and
• enhancing fluid distribution and fluid absorption in the superabsorbent polymer layer by draining fluid laterally by the upper flow media layer and through flow channels in the superabsorbent layer to the lower flow media layer.

A fluid absorption and distribution enhancement (FADE) product comprising:

• at least three flow media layers including an upper flow media layer, a middle flow media layer, and a lower flow media layer;
• and
• at least two superabsorbent polymer layers comprising a first superabsorbent polymer layer disposed between the upper flow media layer and the middle flow media layer, and a second superabsorbent layer disposed between the middle flow media layer and the lower flow media layer.

A fluid absorption and distribution enhancement (FADE) product comprising:

• at least one flow media layer;
• and
• at least one superabsorbent polymer layer disposed above or below the flow media layer and comprising at least one flow channel.
