Abstract

There is provided an intake system material for personal care products made from a nonwoven web and having a hydrophobic top surface and a capillary tension gradient which increases in the Z-direction perpendicular to the top surface. The intake system material may be made from a single layer or multiple layers and useful in personal care products like diapers, training pants, incontinence garments and feminine hygiene products.
