should be at least 50 by weight in at least one of the layers the total amount of superabsorbent material in the entire absorbent structure however could be lower than 50 by weight according to one embodiment the amount of superabsorbent material in the absorbent structure should be at least 70 by weight calculated on the weight of the structure in dry condition in at least one area in which the superabsorbent material is distributed the physical shape of the superabsorbent material is important for its function in the absorbent structure and is preferably in the form of a powder grains or granules below a number of tests are disclosed which were made with respect to utilization degree acquisition time and rewet in absorbent structures containing a combination of pulp fibers chemical pulp and 50 and 70 by weight respectively of a superabsorbent material of four different types the test absorbent bodies were of the size 28 u00d7 10 cm with a surface weight of 300 g m 2 and a bulk of 3 cm 3 g the superabsorbent particles were substantially homogeneously mixed with the pulp fibers the superabsorbents that were used were a commercially available superabsorbent from clariant gmbh named sanwet im 7100 and three different test substances of a polyacrylate homogeneously crosslinked by aluminate ions according to above and which besides was covalently crosslinked the test substances were named e271 97 e214 97 and e222 97.
