Distribution system for strip of absorbent product in a spindleless roll, including: - a roll, formed of a wound strip of absorbent product, of substantially cylindrical shape and axially defined by a first lateral side and a second axially opposite lateral side; - a distributor for the distribution of the absorbent product by rotation of the roll about an axis, which includes a frame and means for retaining and rotationally guiding the roll relative to the frame, the means for retaining and rotationally guiding the roll including a first guiding and positioning element able to be received axially in a first complementary housing arranged at the centre of the first associated side of the roll and including a second retaining element able to be received axially in a second complementary housing arranged at the centre of the second associated side of the roll, the distributor including a cover which is mounted movably relative to the frame, between an open position for placing the roll in position and a closed position for use of the roll and which carries the said guiding and positioning element, in which at least the first guiding and positioning element includes a section of revolution of cross-section decreasing towards the inside of the distributor able to be received axially in the first associated housing of the roll, the said distribution system being characterised by the fact that the said roll includes the said first and second complementary housings (24a,24b) before mounting of the said roll in the said distributor, and by the fact that the first complementary housing arranged at the centre of the first associated side of the roll, before mounting of the roll, presents a shape of revolution of cross-section decreasing towards the inside of the roll. - a roll, formed of a wound strip of absorbent product, of substantially cylindrical shape and axially defined by a first lateral side and a second axially opposite lateral side; - a distributor for the distribution of the absorbent product by rotation of the roll about an axis, which includes a frame and means for retaining and rotationally guiding the roll relative to the frame, the means for retaining and rotationally guiding the roll including a first guiding and positioning element able to be received axially in a first complementary housing arranged at the centre of the first associated side of the roll and including a second retaining element able to be received axially in a second complementary housing arranged at the centre of the second associated side of the roll, the distributor including a cover which is mounted movably relative to the frame, between an open position for placing the roll in position and a closed position for use of the roll and which carries the said guiding and positioning element, in which at least the first guiding and positioning element includes a section of revolution of cross-section decreasing towards the inside of the distributor able to be received axially in the first associated housing of the roll, the said distribution system being characterised by the fact that the said roll includes the said first and second complementary housings (24a,24b) before mounting of the said roll in the said distributor, and by the fact that the first complementary housing arranged at the centre of the first associated side of the roll, before mounting of the roll, presents a shape of revolution of cross-section decreasing towards the inside of the roll.
