Abstract:
Absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core interposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, the backsheet comprising a perimeter having a front waist edge and a back waist edge, the core comprising a layer of absorbent material which layer comprises:a perimeter having two longitudinal edges, a front transverse edge, and a back transverse edge,a transverse center line located midway between the front transverse edge and the back transverse edge,a front half section located between the transverse centerline (16) and the front transverse edge anda back half section located between the transverse centerline (16) and the back transverse edge,characterised in thatthe average basis capacity of the absorbent material located in the front half section of the layer of absorbent material is lower than the average back capacity of the absorbent material located in the back half section (19) of the layer,a liquid barrier means being located between the transverse centerline of the layer and the back waist edge of the backsheet to prevent liquids from leaking to the back waist edge of the backsheet.
