Abstract:
An absorbent product having two longitudinal side edges (12,13), two transverse end edges (10,11), a longitudinal centre line and a transverse centre line, and which comprises a liquid-permeable outer layer (2), a liquid-impermeable backing layer (3) and an absorption core (4) which is located between said outer layer (2) and said backing layer (3), with said absorption core (4) comprising a first and a second absorption layer (14,15), with the first absorption layer (14) being arranged inside of the liquid-permeable outer layer (2) and the second absorption layer (15) being arranged between the first absorption layer (14) and the liquid-impermeable backing layer (3), with the first absorption layer (14) having two longitudinal channels (16,17), with each of the channels having an outer edge (20) closest to the corresponding longitudinal side edge (12,13) of the product and an inner edge (21) closest to the longitudinal centre line of the product, characterized in that the two longitudinal channels (16,17) extend through the whole of the thickness of the first absorption layer (14), in that a compressed area (22) is arranged between the longitudinal sides (12,13) of the absorbent product, and in that the distance between the side edges (24) of the compressed area (22) is smaller than or equal to the distance between the outer side edges (20) of the longitudinal channels (16,17).
