The insert comprises a sandwich of first and second webs constructed of non-toxic, biodegradable, pliable, liquid-absorbent material, such as tissue paper, with a layer of non-toxic, biodegradable, liquid-absorbent material sandwiched between them. The sandwich is bonded in an environmentally sound manner, such as by a mechanical bond (such as crimping) or by a non-toxic, biodegradable adhesive. The insert is used by placing it in the diaper so that the absorbent insert is sandwiched between layers of cloth. The cloth acts as a wick to draw fluids from the body of the wearer to the absorbent insert, to be retained until changing. One feature is a process for making the insert via a continuous feed process.Field of SearchAbsorbent pad for external or internal application and supports therefor (e.g., catamenial devices, diapers, etc.)Containing hydrosoluble, hydrodegradable or body heat soluble material Containing fiber or material bonding substance Containing particular materials, fibers, or particles Cellulose or cellulosic materials Specific garment, holder, or support for absorbent pad Collagen or gelling material MATERIAL DESIGNED TO BE RESPONSIVE TO TEMPERATURE, LIGHT, MOISTURE, ETC.
