Embodiments of sized fluff pulp, or fluff pulp treated with a sizing agent, have desirable characteristics for one or more intended applications. The sized fluff pulp can be debonded or nondebonded. In several examples, the one or more desirable characteristics includes a reduction in its absorption characteristics (e.g., the pulp is less hydrophilic). Some characteristics improved by the sized fluff pulp include, but are not limited to, soak and drip capacity and wicking rate. In several examples, the sized fluff pulp are less hydrophilic but retain or exhibit other desirable characteristics for producing non-wovens, including low fiberization energy and fiberized knot percentage.
