There is provided an absorbent system that not only takes in fluid, but
then transfers that fluid further beneath the first composite. This is
achieved in this invention through paired permeability, capillarity, and
void volume of the first and second composites. The invention is an
absorbent system composed of at least two absorbent composites that have
complementary structural/surface energy characteristics. Such an absorbent
system has a first absorbent Composite A which has a first permeability, a
first capillarity, and a first void volume and at least one second
absorbent Composite B which has a second capillarity and a second porosity
multiplied by second thickness. The first absorbent Composite A is in
liquid communication or contact with at least one second absorbent
Composite B, such that the first absorbent Composite A, and the second
absorbent Composite B have a fluid partitioning amount in Composite A, a
third triple intake time (IT3) and a rewet value.
