A wad of particulate material is formed by entraining fibres in a stream of air that flows through an air-permeable carrier strip from top to bottom, the fibres being deposited on top of the strip. The area on the strip where the fibres are deposited is defined by an aperture in a forming screen located below, and in contact with, the strip. The air stream is a result of a suction applied below the screen. With an aperture, a uniform layer of fibre is deposited on the strip. Instead, the screen may have a forming zone which has a region of high permeability and a region of intermediate permeability, more fibre being deposited on that area of the strip in alignment with the high permeability region than that area in alignment with the intermediate permeability region. The wad is then stabilized and bonded to the carrier and a liquid impervious backing layer is secured to the strip, sandwiching the wad therebetween. The wad or that portion of the strip and backing to which it is bonded are cut out from the rest of the strip and the backing to provide a pad.
