An absorbent composite for incorporation into a disposable absorbent article, the absorbent composite comprising: a first fabric; a second fabric engaged with said first fabric at embossing sites such that a plurality of pockets are each defined by the first fabric being embossed with the second fabric at an embossing site; and a plurality of aggregates of absorbent particles, wherein each aggregate of absorbent particles is encircled by an embossing site and contained thereby within one of said pockets, wherein at least some of said pockets have fixed volumes and concentrations of absorbent particles therein such that said pockets physically restrict swelling of the absorbent particles therein and wherein the absorbent composite has a central crotch region, a pair of longitudinally spaced apart end edges and end regions, and a pair of laterally spaced apart side edges extending from end edge to end edge, the crotch region being located generally centrally between the side edges; and wherein multiple pockets of different volumes are arranged adjacent one another forming a gradient of higher volume pockets to lower volume pockets in an outwardly direction from the central crotch region toward the side edges or the end edges.
