The absorbent assembly (30) comprises an absorbent core (40), an upper core wrap (50) and a lower core wrap (60). The absorbent core (40) comprises at least two cavities (70) free of absorbent material wherein the upper core wrap (50) and the lower core wrap (60) are permanently attached to each other, said cavities (70) being interconnected via at least one connecting line (80) comprising absorbent material. The absorbent core (40) has a first basis weight in the zone out of the cavities (70) and the connecting lines (80) and a second basis weight in the connecting lines (80), the first basis weight being greater than the second basis weight. in the cavities (70). The resulting absorbent assembly (30) may show all together a very good integrity, a very good distribution of fluids and a quick rate of absorption.

The present invention relates to an absorbent core of an absorbent product including a liquid-permeable top sheet, an absorbent dispersion layer disposed at a lower portion of the top sheet, an absorbent core disposed at a lower portion of the absorbent dispersion layer and absorbing and retaining liquids, and a liquid-impermeable back sheet disposed at a lower portion of the absorbent core, and the absorbent core has effects of having the convenience of storage and the activity when an absorbent product prepared therefrom is worn by a user and improving liquid permeability compared to an existing absorbent core.

An absorbent pad, such as a feminine hygiene article, according to the present disclosure comprises superabsorbent polymer particles (2). The superabsorbent polymer particles (2) are surface coated on an outer surface (3) with a coating agent (4), the coating agent (4) being water-soluble. The coated superabsorbent polymer particles (2) comprises an odour inhibiting substance (5) in powder form adhered to and/or mixed with the coating agent (3). The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing the absorbent pad (1).

The present disclosure relates to absorbent articles comprising a nonwoven material, the nonwoven material comprising PET resin having less than 150 ppm of antimony. One or more layers of cover materials are covering the nonwoven material both on the wearer-facing surface and on the garment-facing surface, such that the nonwoven material does not form a wearer-facing or garment-facing surface of the absorbent article.

A layered product including at least one natural fiber layer including a web of natural fibers and at least one SAP layer including a non-woven substrate including a thermoplastic polymer fibers and a superabsorbent polymer adhered to thermoplastic polymer fibers, wherein the non-woven substrate is a high loft fabric, for example an airlaid or spunlaid non-woven, and wherein the natural fiber layer and the SAP layer are connected to each other by needle punching, stitch bonding or using an adhesive.
