A disposable liquid-absorbing arti- cle, such as a diaper (10), sanitary towel or similar, having a substantially longi- tudinal shape and comprising an absorp- tion body (12) and a cover (11) enclos- ing the absorption body with a liquid- pervious inner sheet (17) and an outer sheet (18) and contracting elastics mem- bers (23) in contact with at least one of the sheets to give the article its shape in an in-use position. The cover sheet on which the elastics members are ap- plied, is connected to the inside and out- side of the absorption body respectively, and said elastics members (23) extend with at least one substantially continu- ally curved portion (24, 25) over at least an area of the absorption body. The strive of the elastics members to contract and the contact of said elastics mem- bers with one of said sheets, exert a tension force on said sheet in a direc- tion towards the curvature centre of the elastics members, whereby this force is transferred and absorbed by the absorp- tion body. The elastics members are ap- plied with such a prestressing that said tension forces caused by the prestressing and the curvature radius deform the arti- cle for the formation of a, in relation to the plane of the article, transversal pool-wall along the curved elastics po rtions.
