Abstract:
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.
