摘要 |
<p>The invention refers to an absorbent article (10) such as a sanitary napkin, where said article comprises an elongate absorbent core (12) delimited by an upper surface (14) and a lower surface (16). A pair of opposed longitudinal edge portions (18, 20) terminates in longitudinal edges (22, 24) and a pair of opposed transverse edges (26, 28). Said core has a first end portion (30), a second end portion (32) and a central portion (34) located between said end portions. A liquid barrier backsheet (42) covers said lower surface (16) of said absorbent core (12). Leakage barriers (68, 70), each barrier cobering a longitudinal edge portion (18, 20) in a respective longitudinal edge portion (18, 20), forms liquid-retaining pockets along each longitudinal edge portion. The invention is characterized in that first spacing means (60) are arranged between the absorbent core (12) and each of said leakage barriers (68, 70), and that said first spacing means (60) are being arranged at a distance from each other along the length of said lealage barriers (68, 70) and defines fluid conducting first channels (62), that extends generally perpendicularly to the longitudinal edge portions (18, 20), between said leakage barriers (68, 70) and said absorbent core (12).</p> |
