Abstract
An absorbent article contains at least one fluid storage member and at least one fluid distribution member. The fluid distribution member has an improved fluid handling property especially under sub-saturation conditions. Such members exhibit, at 50% of their saturation capacity, an increased permeability of at least about 14% of one at saturation. The fluid storage member has a higher Capillary Sorption Absorbency Height than the fluid distribution member.
Claims36
Absorbent article comprising a fluid distribution member having a Capillary Sorption Absorption Height for 50% of its capacity at 0 cm (CSAH 50), further having a permeability at 100% saturation k(100), further having a permeability at 50% saturation k(50), further comprising a first fluid storage member in liquid communication with said fluid distribution member, said first fluid storage member having a Capillary Sorption Absorption Height for 50% of its capacity at 0 cm (CSAH 50), characterized in that said fluid distribution member has a permeability at 50% of its saturation k(50) which is more than about 14% of k(100), and in that said first fluid storage member has a CSAH 50 which is higher than the CSAH 50 of the fluid distribution member.
