A non-woven hydroentangled textile is described formed in cross-section
with a central area of low mass fiber density surrounded on both sides by
areas of higher mass density. Further, a personal cleansing article is
described wherein the hydroentangled textile is associated with a
personal cleansing composition that includes a lathering surfactant. The
composition is deposited onto, impregnated into or at least is partially
enclosed by the textile. Also described is a process for producing the
textile involving feeding into a hydroentangling unit a loose random
assembly of fibers both above and below a fibrous screen modifying
textile substrate.
