ABSORBENT ARTICLE WITH IMPROVED FIT

摘要

Absorbent article, such as a sanitary towel, with a stiffening element (6) which is intended to contribute to the three-dimensional shape of the article during its use. The stiffening area (6) is in a plane state before use of the article and comprises a first stiffening part area (61) in the front portion (1). The first stiffening part area (61) in the front portion (1) has a width which, at least at some point in the longitudinal direction of the article, exceeds the distance between the muscle tendons of the wearer on both sides of the crotch of the wearer in the groin of the latter. The article comprises an elongate absorbent crotch area (63) which is intended to be fitted in the crotch of the wearer over the genitals of the latter and is designed for an optimum absorption function by free selection of absorption material and construction. The absorbent crotch area (63) is attached to the first part area (61) and held in place by the latter so as to avoid the absorbent crotch area sliding backwards and out of the intended position over the genitals of the wearer when the wearer moves.
