Disposable hygiene article, such as a sanitary towel, a panty liner, an incontinence pad or a diaper, whereby said article has a transverse direction (x), a longitudinal direction (y) and a longitudinal centre line dividing the article into two mutually symmetrical and mirror-imaged portions and, whereby said article has a front portion, a crotch portion and a rear portion, and said article comprises a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core arranged between the topsheet and backsheet, and optionally a liquid acquisition sheet arranged between the topsheet and the core, whereby an outer contour of the absorbent core is defined by mirror-imaged first and second core edge lines (8, 9), and the absorbent core is delimited by a core front edge in the front portion and a core rear edge in the rear portion, the absorbent core comprising a first region extending in the longitudinal direction (y) of the article from the front portion over the crotch portion to the rear portion, and wherein an outer contour of the first region is defined by mirror-imaged first and second first region edge lines (22, 23) and a first region front edge and a first region rear edge, whereby the first region comprises a head part and two leg portions (15, 16) extending symmetrically about the centre line in the longitudinal direction (y) of the article, and wherein said absorbent core further comprises a second region at least partially surrounded by said first region, wherein - the first region has its narrowest width in the transverse direction (x) in the front portion or at the location of a transition between the front portion and the crotch portion; and - wherein the absorbent core in the crotch portion comprises at least one front compression line forming an essentially upside down turned V comprising a first leg, a second leg and a common front tip, wherein the front tip is located on the centre line and has an imaginary contact point (a 50) with an imaginary front division line dividing the article into the front portion and the crotch portion, the first and second legs (51; 53) diverging towards the core rear edge at a mutual angle (α 1) of from 30-120°, the absorbent core further comprising a V-shaped second compression line comprising a third leg and a fourth leg each of which extends and diverges at a mutual angle (α 4) of from 30-120° towards the core front edge from the common front tip in the respective mirror-imaged portions and, and wherein the common front tip is located in contact with or at a distance of an imaginary transverse line indicating the narrowest width M, and - wherein the second region has an average density which is at least 20%, preferably at least 30% and most preferably at least 50% lower than the average density of the first region. - the first region has its narrowest width in the transverse direction (x) in the front portion or at the location of a transition between the front portion and the crotch portion; and - wherein the absorbent core in the crotch portion comprises at least one front compression line forming an essentially upside down turned V comprising a first leg, a second leg and a common front tip, wherein the front tip is located on the centre line and has an imaginary contact point (a 50) with an imaginary front division line dividing the article into the front portion and the crotch portion, the first and second legs (51; 53) diverging towards the core rear edge at a mutual angle (α 1) of from 30-120°, the absorbent core further comprising a V-shaped second compression line comprising a third leg and a fourth leg each of which extends and diverges at a mutual angle (α 4) of from 30-120° towards the core front edge from the common front tip in the respective mirror-imaged portions and, and wherein the common front tip is located in contact with or at a distance of an imaginary transverse line indicating the narrowest width M, and - wherein the second region has an average density which is at least 20%, preferably at least 30% and most preferably at least 50% lower than the average density of the first region.
