<p>The invention relates to an absorbent article (1, 1') for one time use only, such as a diaper, an incontinence guard or the like. The invention is characterized in that the article (1, 1') includes at least two permanent fold lines (3) which extend in the longitudinal direction of the article and which divide the article, over at least a part thereof, into a central, elongated part (6) and edge-parts (7, 8) located symmetrically on respective sides of the elongated part. The edge-parts (7, 8) exhibit at least one longitudinally extending fold (26) which places the edge-parts (7, 8) in an upwardly folded position along the fold lines (3) and relative to the central part (6), and in that joining means (20) are provided for folding the edge-parts (7, 8) permanently in this upwardly folded state.</p> |
