SHAPE-STABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLE

摘要

An absorbent article with a longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, at least one elastic member (14) being arranged with prestressing in the crotch area (8) of the article, extending essentially in the transverse direction of the article. The elastic member (14) is arranged between the liquid-permeable surface layer (2) of the article and its absorption body (4) on a first surface of the absorption body (4). A shaping element (16) which is rigid to bending in the transverse sense of the article is arranged on a second surface of the absorption body (4), the shaping element (16) counteracting contraction of the elastic member (14).
