  • Publication number: 20160213533
    Abstract: An absorbent core includes a first carrier substrate and a second carrier substrate; a discontinuous layer of superabsorbent polymer material disposed between the first and second carrier substrates. The superabsorbent polymer material may be disposed in a plurality of superabsorbent material stripes. Two of the stripes are separated by an interstice. The interstice has little or no superabsorbent polymer material and extends from the first carrier substrate to the second carrier substrate.
