Abstract

An incontinent pad has a pervious inner surface layer and impervious outer surface layer with both layers having edge portions connected together to form an envelope thereat. A high absorbent packet is contained within the formed envelope and overlies major areas of the impervious outer layer. A high loft porous webbed section is in initimate engagement with the high absorbent packet. The high absorbent packet has at least two juxtapositioned nonwoven webs of textile staple fibers with a layer of superabsorbent powder positioned between all of the adjacent webs. The edges of the webs are sealed together to prevent powder migration from the side. Each of the nonwoven webs of the high absorbent packet also includes a binder to impart sufficient strength to the nonwoven webs for facilitating handling and for allowing movement of the fiber under the expanding influence of the superabsorbent powder.
