An absorbent article having a length dimension, a width dimension and a height dimension, the absorbent article comprising:
- absorbent particles, which have been subjected to corona charging present in a generally continuous size gradient in at least one said dimension of the absorbent article.
An absorbent article having a length dimension, a width dimension and a height dimension comprising:
- multiple-sized fibers and multiple-sized absorbent particles which have been subjected to corona charging;
- wherein the multiple-sized absorbent particles are present in a particle size gradient in the width dimension of the absorbent article;
- and
- wherein the size gradient includes a coarse particle zone and a fine particle zone and wherein the coarse particle zone is centrally located in the absorbent article.
An absorbent article having a length dimension, a width dimension and a height dimension comprising:
- multiple-sized fibers and multiple-sized absorbent particles which have been subjected to corona charging;
- wherein the multiple-sized absorbent particles are present in a particle size gradient which includes a coarse particle zone and a fine particle zone;
- wherein the multiple-sized fibers are present in a fiber size gradient which includes a coarse fiber zone and a fine fiber zone;
- wherein the coarse fiber zone is combined with the coarse particle zone and wherein the fine fiber zone is combined with the fine particle zone;
- and
- wherein said coarse fiber zone and said coarse particle zone are centrally located in the absorbent article.
An absorbent article having a length dimension, a width dimension and a height dimension, the absorbent article comprising:
- absorbent particles, which have been subjected to corona charging, wherein the absorbent particles are present in a size gradient in the length dimension of the absorbent article.
