A method and system ( 22 ) for reducing malodor includes a providing of an operative quantity of particles of adsorbent material with a carrier structure ( 24 ), and a configuring of the carrier structure to contact at least one viscous, aqueous body-liquid during an intended use of the carrier structure. The carrier structure ( 24 ) has been configured to reduce malodor from the viscous body-liquid. In particular features, particles of adsorbent material ( 28 ) have been configured to include a total quantity of particle pores, and at least a significant portion of the particle pores have been configured to provide an operative quantity of target pores. In other features, the target pores have been configured to withdraw and hold water from said body-liquid, and have been configured to hold the water in a manner that renders the water substantially inaccessible to odor-causing organisms. In a further feature, the target pores can be configured to provide a selected target pore-size. In still another feature, the particles of adsorbent material can be configured to carry an operative quantity of odor-treatment material. |
