Abstract
A surface material for sanitary articles is composed of Layer 1, which is located on the surface in contact with the skin, and Layer 2, which is formed into a single unit with Layer 1 underneath Layer 1 with its entire surface being essentially covered by Layer 1, and with Layer 1 being composed of 50% or more hydrophobic fibers and moreover, in which at least the portion of Layer 1 covering Layer 2 possesses Section A of which the fiber density is comparatively low, Section B of which the fiber density is comparatively high, and Section C which is located at their boundary, where the area of Section C occupies 2-50% of the area of the entire surface material.

A surface material for sanitary articles which has the characteristic of being composed of Layer 1, which is located on the surface adapted to be in contact with the skin, and Layer 2, which is formed into a single unit with Layer 1 on the surface opposite of that which is adapted to be in contact with the skin with its entire surface being essentially covered by Layer 1, and with Layer 1 comprising 50 to 100% of hydrophobic fibers and Layers 2 comprising 50 to 100% of hydrophilic fibers, and moreover, in which at least the portion of Layer 1 covering Layer 2 has an embossed structure and possesses a first section having a given fiber density, a second section of which the fiber density is higher than said given fiber density, and a third section which is located at a boundary between said first and second sections, where the area of the third section occupies 2-50% of the area of the entire surface material.
