Abstract
A hydro-enlarged apertured non-woven web includes a plurality of fibers with a plurality of bond points, a first surface defining a planar top, and a second surface defining a planar bottom. The second surface is separated from the first surface by a first distance defining a loft. A plurality of apertures extending through the non-woven web. The plurality of apertures is formed by spraying a fluid against an unapertured precursor web, causing a plurality of pins disposed on a pinned roller to punch through the unapertured precursor web. The unapertured precursor web has a third surface defining a planar top and a fourth surface defining a planar bottom, where the third surface is separated from the fourth surface by a second distance defining a precursor loft. The loft is greater than the precursor loft by a loft increase within a range of 50-110%.
