Abstract:
An absorbent product comprises an absorption body having a generally oblong shape with two longitudinal sides, two transverse sides, a longitudinal center line,a first liquid-permeable surface layer, a second essentially liquid-impermeable surface layer, an essentially liquid-impermeable backing layer, an absorption body positioned between said liquid-permeable surface layer and said backing layer, and two leakage barriers made of flexible material and extending in the longitudinal direction with one of the barriers on each side of the longitudinal center line and the liquid-permeable surface layer, each of the leakage barriers having a first edge permanently fastened along the liquid-permeable surface layer and a second edge which extends in the direction of the longitudinal center line of the absorbent product, the second edge contains elastic so as to gather the second edge at least in a central portion thereof, each of the leakage barriers also having a first surface and a second surface, wherein one of the first surface and the second surface of each of said leakage barriers is fastened to or near to one of the first, liquid-permeable surface layer and the second, liquid-impermeable surface layer in a temporary manner by a binder having an adhesive or cohesive capacity which is lost during use of the absorbent product, wherein the one of the first surface and the second surface of each leakage barrier comes away from the one of the first surface layer and the second surface layer it is fastened to and forms a raised leakage barrier due to the gathering by said elastic when adhesive or cohesive capacity of the binder is lost, wherein the adhesive or cohesive capacity of the binder is lost within the temperature range 30-37Â° C.
