Claim 5:
6. An absorbent article (100) according to claim 1 wherein the insulating layer (200) is liquid impermeable, and the plurality of sensor tracks (101) comprising:
at least one central track (4) extending parallel to length (L) of the substrate and parallel to a longitudinal axis (y-y) crossing a first end (5) and a second end (6) of the substrate (1);
at least two side tracks (7,8) extending parallel to the central track (4) along at least a portion of the length (L) and oppositely arranged such that the central track (4) extends substantially therebetween; and
wetness sensing tracks (9) extending outboard of said two side tracks (7,8) and/or central track (4),
wherein said central track (4), said side tracks (7,8), and said wetness sensing tracks (9) are in electrical communication via one or more shortening elements (10) positioned proximal to said second end (6) and distal from said first end (5), and wherein said insulating layer (200) is sized to cover the at least one central track (4) and at least a portion of the side tracks (7,8), said insulating layer (200) adapted to provide a seal and/or barrier to liquid from coming into contact with said central track (4) and said side tracks (7,8).
