loaded. This absorbent core is useful for providing an absorbent article
of increased wearing comfort. Specifically disclosed is an absorbent core
useful for an absorbent article comprising a substrate layer and
absorbent material, the absorbent material comprising an absorbent
polymer material, the absorbent material optionally comprising absorbent
fibrous material, the absorbent fibrous material not representing more
than 20% of the weight of absorbent polymer material, wherein the
absorbent material is immobilized when wet such that the absorbent core
achieves a wet immobilization of more than 50%, preferably of more than
60%, 70%, 80% or 90% according to the Wet Immobilization Test described
