1. An absorbent insert for use with an absorbent garment configured to allow fluid to pass therethrough to said absorbent garment, the insert comprising: a body-facing outer surface and a garment-facing outer surface, said garment-facing outer surface being at least partially fluid permeable and having a pore size that will readily allow the passage of liquids therethrough; at least one absorbent layer having a first primary surface and a second primary surface; and at least one water insoluble continuous fluid impermeable delay layer adapted to substantially affect the flow of fluid passing through the insert, said at least one continuous fluid impermeable delay layer having a first primary surface and a second primary surface; wherein the surface area of each of said primary surfaces of said at least one water insoluble continuous fluid impermeable delay layer is less than the surface area of each of said primary surfaces of at least one of the said at least one absorbent layers; and wherein said at least one delay layer is positioned between said at least one absorbent layer and said garment-facing outer surface.
