Abstract
Disclosed is an absorbent article including a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet. The topsheet contains hydrophobic fibers and hydrophilic fibers shorter than the hydrophobic fibers. The hydrophobic fibers are thermally bonded to each other. At least a part of the hydrophilic fibers form aggregates that disperse in the sheet. At least a part of the hydrophilic fibers that form the aggregates are bonded to the surfaces of the hydrophobic fibers.
Claims8
An absorbent article comprising a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein;
- the topsheet contains hydrophobic synthetic fibers and hydrophilic fibers shorter than the hydrophobic fibers, the hydrophobic fibers are thermally bonded to each other, and at least a part of the hydrophilic fibers are formed into aggregates, wherein the aggregates are separate from each other and are uniformly dispersed in the topsheet, and are bonded to surfaces of the hydrophobic synthetic fibers.
