Acquisition Distribution Layer

A hygiene article, comprising:

• a longitudinal axis;
• a transversal axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis;
• an acquisition distribution layer (ADL) comprising a hydroentangled composite comprising (a) a first outer layer including a first plurality of synthetic fibers, (b) a second outer layer including a second plurality of synthetic fibers, and (c) at least one core layer including cellulose fibers comprising natural cellulose fibers, synthetic cellulose fibers, or a combination thereof, wherein the at least one core layer is located directly or indirectly between the first outer layer and the second outer layer, and the first plurality of synthetic fibers, the second plurality of synthetic fibers, and the cellulose fibers are physically entangled together;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• and
• an absorbent core, wherein the absorbent core is located at least partially between the ADL and the backsheet.

A method of making an ADL, comprising:

• providing a first outer layer including a first plurality of synthetic fibers;
• providing a second outer layer including a second plurality of synthetic fibers;
• providing at least one core layer including cellulose fibers comprising natural cellulose fibers, synthetic cellulose fibers, or a combination thereof, wherein the at least one core layer is located directly or indirectly between the first outer layer and the second outer layer;
• physically entangling the first plurality of synthetic fibers, the second plurality of synthetic fibers, and the cellulose fibers are physically entangled together to form a hydroentangled composite;
• imparting a three-dimensional topography defined by a first outermost surface of the hydroentangled composite;
• wherein the three-dimensional topography includes a plurality raised portions and a plurality of recessed portions.
