Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0217982A2] There is provided a personal care product having a mixture made from an absorbent and a water soluble polymer, which, when wetted and subjected to a minimal force, will become a gel. Such a personal care product is more conformable, and thus more comfortable than typical personal care products. Such a product also allows fluid flow to other parts of the product and so uses less material in its construction, further reducing feelings of discomfort.
