A male incontinence guard comprising a fluid-impermeable backsheet , a fluid-permeable topsheet forming a body-facing surface of the guard , and an absorbent body arranged between said backsheet and said topsheet , said guard having a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis (Y1) and a transverse extension along a transverse axis (X1), said transverse axis (X1) dividing said guard into an upper portion and a lower portion , said upper portion having a greater maximum extension (W 1 ) in a transverse direction (x) parallel to transverse axis (X1) han the maximum extension of the lower portion in the transverse direction (x); wherein the guard is divided into a first side region , a second side region , and a central region located between said first and side regions in the transverse direction (x), wherein a first fold line (F1) is provided between the first side region and the central region and a second fold line (F2) is provided between the central region and the second side region , wherein the first side region is configured to be folded along the first fold line (F1) over the central region ; wherein the second side region is configured to be folded along the second fold line (F2) over the central region such that the first side region at least partially overlaps the second side region to form a first overlap region , wherein at least one of the first and second side regions comprises a fastening material on the backsheet of the incontinence guard , wherein the fastening material is at least partially disposed in the first overlap region , and wherein a first distance D 1 is defined between an outermost edge of the first side region and the first fold line (Fl); a second distance D 2 is defined between an outermost edge of the second side region and the second fold line (F2); a third distance D 3 is defined between the first and second fold lines (F1, F2), D 1 + D 2 > D 3 , where D 1 , D 2 , and D 3 are measured in the transverse direction (x) and together form a straight line, and D 1 + D 2 + D 3 equal the maximum extension (W 1 ) of the upper portion . wherein the guard is divided into a first side region , a second side region , and a central region located between said first and side regions in the transverse direction (x), wherein a first fold line (F1) is provided between the first side region and the central region and a second fold line (F2) is provided between the central region and the second side region , wherein the first side region is configured to be folded along the first fold line (F1) over the central region ; wherein the second side region is configured to be folded along the second fold line (F2) over the central region such that the first side region at least partially overlaps the second side region to form a first overlap region , wherein at least one of the first and second side regions comprises a fastening material on the backsheet of the incontinence guard , wherein the fastening material is at least partially disposed in the first overlap region , and wherein a first distance D 1 is defined between an outermost edge of the first side region and the first fold line (Fl); a second distance D 2 is defined between an outermost edge of the second side region and the second fold line (F2); a third distance D 3 is defined between the first and second fold lines (F1, F2), D 1 + D 2 > D 3 , where D 1 , D 2 , and D 3 are measured in the transverse direction (x) and together form a straight line, and D 1 + D 2 + D 3 equal the maximum extension (W 1 ) of the upper portion . <EOS>
