Absorbent product with improved fit

摘要

Disclosed is an absorbent product, such as a sanitary towel, with a stiffening element (6) which is intended to contribute to the three-dimensional shape of the product during its use. The stiffening element is in a plane state before use of the product and extends in the longitudinal direction of the product over the crotch portion (3) and at least some way in over the front portion (1). The stiffening element has a width (M) at the transition (12) between the crotch portion and the front portion which is about 15-45 mm. The crotch portion has a length (G) of about 70-120 mm. The side edges of the stiffening element in the front portion of the product diverge in the direction from the crotch portion at least some way in over the front portion and there form an acute angle with a line in the longitudinal direction of the product.
