The absorbent non-woven layer is formed by needle-punching or thermally bonding superabsorbent fibers, polyethylene/polypropylene bi-component fibers and rayon fibers, wherein the diffusive fabric layer, the absorbent non-woven layer and the waterproof film are stacked and sewed to form the body fluid-absorbing fabric pad. The body fluid-absorbing fabric pad can utilize constituent fabrics having a multiple sublayer structure of the absorbent layer to increase diffusion rate of moisture from the skin of the wearer. | 07-14-2011 |
