Abstract: An absorbent member, suitable for a tampon, is produced by ejecting a liquid against a sheet of water-absorptive fibers in order to interlace the fibers with each other and molding under a pressure the sheet to form the absorbent member.

Abstract: An absorbing article comprises a surface layer to be in contact with skins containing from 60 to 100% by weight of first fibers having a hydrophilic surface and a hydrophobic inside and from 40 to 0% by weight of second fibers which are hydrophilic at least at their surface, and a rearface constituted at least with one or more layers containing from 0 to 50% by weight of said first fibers and from 100 to 50% by weight of said second fibers, in which the surface hydrophilic property, after being wetted, is higher in said second fibers than in said first fibers.

Abstract: A sanitary, liquid-absorbing article has as surface material a non-woven fabric comprising two layers integrated by a binder, the first layer having a basis weight of 5 to 15 g/m.sup.2, the second layer having a basis weight of 20 to 45 g/m.sup.2, wherein when the non-woven fabric is in the wet state, E=K.rho..sub.F.sup.a ; .rho..sub.FO .ltoreq.1.2.times.10.sup.-2 g/cm.sup.3 ; and K.gtoreq.1.2.times.10.sup.6 as defined in the following compression characteristic formula of the non-woven fabric: ##EQU1## wherein E is a Young's modulus (g/cm.sup.2), P is a pressure (g/cm.sup.2), .rho..sub.F is an apparent specific weight (g/cm.sup.3) and .rho..sub.FO is a .rho..sub.F value when the pressure is 0 g/cm.sup.2.

Abstract: An absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin and a diaper is improved in the surface material by use of a non-woven fabric of hot-melt fibers which melts at 90.degree. to 140.degree. C. It is disposable.
