Summary: | An absorbent article having relatively light weight and less bulk includes a liquid permeable top layer, an inner surge layer, and a substantially liquid impermeable outer cover. A plurality of pockets are formed in at least one of the surge layer and the outer cover material. The pockets contain a superabsorbent material. The surge layer or outer cover material containing the pockets functions as an absorbent layer, thereby eliminating the need for a separate (often bulky) absorbent layer between the surge layer and the outer cover.
Un articulo absorbente que tiene un peso relativamente ligero y un volumen menor incluye una capa superior permeable al liquido, una capa de surgimiento interior y una cubierta exterior esencialmente impermeable al liquido. Una pluralidad de bolsas son formadas en por lo menos una de la capa de surgimiento y del material de cubierta exterior. Las bolsas contienen un material superabsorbente. El material de cubierta exterior o la capa de surgimiento que contiene las bolsas funcionan como una capa absorbente, eliminando por tanto la necesidad de una capa absorbente separada (frecuentemente voluminosa) entre la capa de surgimiento y la cubierta exterior. |
