Abstract:
1. A dispersible absorbent product comprising at least two layers wherein said layers comprise: a first layer having a first plurality of mechanically weakened regions; a second layer having a second plurality of mechanically weakened regions; and a water responsive binder disposed between the first and the second layer; wherein the first and the second plurality of mechanically weakened regions are positioned such that the first plurality of mechanically weakened regions in the first layer do not overlap the second plurality of mechanically weakened regions in the second layer such that each layer reinforces the other layer and prevents the weakened regions from extending through the thickness of the two layers; the first or the second layer has a reduction in tensile strength of at least about 50% based on the tensile strength of an unweakened layer; the product has a tensile strength of at least about 100 g/in and is flushable, and wherein said product is premoistened with a liquid composition to a liquid loading level of from about 50% to about 500%, by the dry weight of the product.
