A disposable absorbent article having a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, the absorbent article comprising: ▪ a liquid-pervious topsheet, ▪ a liquid-impervious backsheet and ▪ an absorbent assembly disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet and having two longitudinal edges (41, 41'), two transverse edges (42, 42'), a wearer-facing surface, a garment-facing surface, a longitudinal central axis (Y-Y) extending along a length of the absorbent assembly and a transverse central axis (X-X) defining a front portion and a back portion, the absorbent assembly comprising: - an absorbent core, - an upper core wrap which is a hydrophilic nonwoven web having a basis weight between 5 g/m 2 and 20 g/m 2 and - a lower core wrap which is a hydrophobic or a hydrophilic nonwoven web having a basis weight between 5 g/m 2 and 20 g/m 2, wherein the absorbent core comprises absorbent material comprised by a mixture of superabsorbent polymer and cellulosic fibers, wherein the absorbent core comprises at least two cavities free of absorbent material having a width with respect to the transverse central axis (X-X) and a length with respect to the longitudinal central axis (Y-Y), said cavities being interconnected via at least one connecting line having a width with respect to the transverse central axis (X-X) and a length with respect to the longitudinal central axis (Y-Y), the at least one connecting line comprising absorbent material, wherein the absorbent core has a first basis weight in the zone out of the cavities and the connecting lines, and a second basis weight in the connecting lines, the first basis weight being greater than the second basis weight, and wherein the upper core wrap and the lower core wrap are permanently attached to each other in the cavities. ▪ a liquid-pervious topsheet, ▪ a liquid-impervious backsheet and ▪ an absorbent assembly disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet and having two longitudinal edges (41, 41'), two transverse edges (42, 42'), a wearer-facing surface, a garment-facing surface, a longitudinal central axis (Y-Y) extending along a length of the absorbent assembly and a transverse central axis (X-X) defining a front portion and a back portion, the absorbent assembly comprising: - an absorbent core, - an upper core wrap which is a hydrophilic nonwoven web having a basis weight between 5 g/m 2 and 20 g/m 2 and - a lower core wrap which is a hydrophobic or a hydrophilic nonwoven web having a basis weight between 5 g/m 2 and 20 g/m 2, - an absorbent core, - an upper core wrap which is a hydrophilic nonwoven web having a basis weight between 5 g/m 2 and 20 g/m 2 and - a lower core wrap which is a hydrophobic or a hydrophilic nonwoven web having a basis weight between 5 g/m 2 and 20 g/m 2, wherein the absorbent core comprises absorbent material comprised by a mixture of superabsorbent polymer and cellulosic fibers, wherein the absorbent core comprises at least two cavities free of absorbent material having a width with respect to the transverse central axis (X-X) and a length with respect to the longitudinal central axis (Y-Y), said cavities being interconnected via at least one connecting line having a width with respect to the transverse central axis (X-X) and a length with respect to the longitudinal central axis (Y-Y), the at least one connecting line comprising absorbent material, wherein the absorbent core has a first basis weight in the zone out of the cavities and the connecting lines, and a second basis weight in the connecting lines, the first basis weight being greater than the second basis weight, and wherein the upper core wrap and the lower core wrap are permanently attached to each other in the cavities.
