Claim:
An absorbent product comprising: a backing layer; and a surface layer, the surface layer including a nonwoven material comprising: at least one layer of fibres including pulp fibers and at least a fiber selected from amongst synthetic fibres, regenerated fibres and continuous filaments, wherein the nonwoven material has a base level h 0 with protuberances on a first side, the first side being directed away from the backing layer, wherein the protuberances are obtained by hydroentangling and form at least a first and a second surface structure respectively in the form of first and second protuberances from the base level h 0 , wherein the first protuberances have a height h 1 from the base level h 0 and the second protuberances have a height h 2 from the base level h 0 , where h 2 is higher than h 1 , and each of the second protuberances occupies an area of the surface of the base level at least 4 times greater than an area of the surface of the base level occupied by each of the first protuberances, and wherein there is a difference of at least 100 μm between h 1 and h 2 , and wherein the pulp fibres are present in a higher proportion in the protuberances than in the rest of the nonwoven material.
