The present invention relates to an individually packaged absorbent product, such as a sanitary towel, an incontinence protector or like product, which comprises a first, liquid permeable outer layer (1), which is intended to be turned to face the wearer, a second, liquid impermeable outer layer (2) which is intended to be turned to face away from the wearer, and an absorbent body (3) which is enclosed between said first and second outer layers (1, 2). The inventive product is characterized in that in the packaged state of the product the two end portions (7, 8) of the product are folded in towards one another with the liquid impermeable layer (2) turned outwards in a manner such that the edges of the end portions abut one another; in that the end portions (7, 8) are mutually held together by means of a strip of material (6, 13) which bridges the join (10) between the end portions (7, 8) and is secured to the portions (7, 8) on both sides of the join (10), whereby the product, prior to being used, forms itself a package and the liquid impermeable layer (2) forms a protective envelope for the liquide permeable layer (1) and the absorbent body (3); and in that the package can be opened, by loosening the strip (6, 13) or by dividing the strip in two. |
