Abstract
There is disclosed an nonwoven fabric suitable for use as, for example, an intake/distribution material for personal care products, made from nonwoven fabric where the fabric is made from directly formed, mixed size fibers. The fibers may be conjugate fibers. The fabric may have zones having larger fibers and zones having smaller fibers providing a means to vary the web properties, such as permeability, or the mixed size fibers may be uniformly distributed. The fibers may also be crimped. The process for making such a material is also disclosed. A zoned fiber fabric can provide rapid intake of an insult because of the placement of the high permeability zone in the insult target area and can also provide good distribution through the lower permeability but higher capillarity end zones.
