An absorbent article for feminine protection comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core intermediate the backsheet and the topsheet, and a cationic modified starch, wherein the cationic modified starch comprises starch modified by a cationizing agent comprising an ammonium group, wherein the degree of substitution of the cationizing agent is from about 0.070 to less than 0.50, wherein the cationic modified starch is not substantially water insoluble, wherein the cationic modified starch is cross-linked by a cross-linking agent.
The starch of the cationic modified starch was reacted with the cross-linking agent at a concentration of from about 100 ppm to about 4000 ppm of cross-linking agent by weight of the starch and wherein the cationic modified starch contains water-insoluble carbohydrate between about 1% and 85% of water-insoluble carbohydrate.
