Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to an absorbent article, and particularly to an absorbent article having a mixture that generates heat when exposed to air and/or moisture. An absorbent article includes a particulate chemical mixture, which is exothermically reactive in the presence of air or moisture, for heating at least a portion of the absorbent article. The heat generated improves the absorption of body fluids by lowering the viscosity of the absorbed fluids. The absorbent article can be formed as a sanitary napkin.
