Foam and fiber composites can provide absorbent articles with improved dryness and improved liquid distribution. The foam and fiber composite may be formed from at least two materials. The first material is an open cell foam material and the second material is a fibrous material. The plurality of fibers forming the fibrous material can be fluidly intercalated into the open cell foam material to form the foam and fiber composite. In various embodiments, the foam and fiber composite may be incorporated into an absorbent article as a component of an absorbent system positioned between the topsheet layer and the backsheet layer of the absorbent article. |
