Claim Text:
1. A male incontinence guard having a longitudinal extension defined between a first and a second end, and a periphery of the incontinence guard in a flattened state having a maximum width transverse to the longitudinal direction at the first end and a minimum width at a longitudinally outermost edge of the incontinence guard at the second end, the maximum width being larger than the minimum width, the male incontinence guard comprising: a liquid permeable top sheet; a liquid impermeable back sheet; an absorbent core between the top sheet and the back sheet, the absorbent core having a triangular base shape with straight longitudinal side edges; and a side barrier at each longitudinal side edge of the absorbent core, each side barrier being formed by at least the back sheet extending beyond at least a longitudinal portion of a respective one of the longitudinal side edges of the absorbent core, each side barrier having a respective outer edge facing away from the respective one of the longitudinal side edges of the absorbent core and an elastic fixed to at least the back sheet in an area between the respective one of the longitudinal side edges and the respective outer edge, wherein the elastics extend only in the area between the respective one of the longitudinal side edges and the respective outer edge; wherein: a distance between the elastics of the side barriers and the respective longitudinal side edges of the absorbent core in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal side edge differs along the longitudinal direction, wherein the elastics each extend from a position at which the distance between the elastics and the corresponding longitudinal side edges is largest towards the first and second ends where the distance is smallest.
