Summary:An absorbent article is described which comprises a substantially integral fibrous layer of hydrophilic fibers; and a quantity of superabsorbent particles integrally mixed among said fibers in a non-layered configuration, and arranged with weight percentages of said superabsorbent particles (with respect to a total weight of superabsorbent) nonuniformly distributed along a length dimension of said article with selected length-wise, superabsorbent-containing regions of said fibrous layer having higher percentages of superabsorbent than other length-wise, superabsorbent-containing regions.
