Claims
- 1. A process for producing an absorbent member having a front part and a rear part, said front part having a first fiber portion and said rear part having a second fiber portion, said first fiber portion having a smaller fiber density than said second fiber portion, which comprises the steps of ejecting a liquid against a sheet of water-absorptive fibers at an ejection pressure of at least 10 kg/cm.sup.2 in order to interlace the fibers with each other; and compression molding said sheet under sufficient pressure to form the absorbent member.
- 2. An absorbent member having a front part and a rear part, which comprises a first fiber portion on the front part and a second fiber portion on the rear part, said first fiber portion having a smaller fiber density than said second fiber portion, said member having been produced by ejecting a liquid against a sheet of water-absorptive fibers at an ejection pressure of at least 10 kg/cm.sup.2 in order to interlace the fibers with each other and compression molding said sheet under sufficient pressure to form the absorbent member.
- 3. An absorbent member as claimed in claim 2 wherein said first fiber portion has a fiber density of no greater than 0.5 g/cm.sup.3 on the average and said member on the whole has a fiber density of no greater than 0.7 g/cm.sup.3 on the average.
- 4. An absorbent member as claimed in claim 2, wherein said first fiber portion occupies a volume of from 30 to 70 percent.
