An absorbent article includes an absorbent core ( 4 ) including a fluid storage member ( 18 ), a fluid distribution layer ( 17 ) and a fluid receiving layer ( 16 ). The distribution layer ( 17 ) is disposed to extend in the crotch portion ( 7 ) and in at least a substantial portion of one of the waist portions ( 5 or 6 ) of the article and is absent in at least a substantial part of the opposite waist portion of the article so as to promote fluid flow from the crotch portion ( 7 ) towards the one waist portion ( 5 or 6 ). A fluid barrier ( 19 ) is arranged at or in close proximity to one transverse end edge of the fluid distribution layer ( 17 ), located in or adjacent the crotch portion ( 7 ) of the article, the fluid barrier ( 19 ) extending through at least a substantial part of the thickness of the layer.
