Abstract

The invention relates to an absorbent product such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, an incontinence protector, or the like, intended during use to be arranged in the crotch region of a user in order to collect and absorb discharged body fluids, and which has means for fastening inside a pair of underpants. The product has a principally elongated shape with a longitudinal center-line and a transverse center line and comprises an upper part intended during use of the product to be facing towards the user and a lower part intended during use of the product to be facing away from the user. The two parts are mutually joined and each have a front part, intended during use of the product to be facing forwardly towards the abdomen of a user, as well as a rear part intended during use of the product to be facing rearwardly towards the behind of the user. The upper part and the lower part further each have a front transverse edge, a rear transverse edge as well as two longitudinal side edges extending between the two transverse edges. The principal distinguishing characteristic of the invention is that the upper part and the lower part are mutually joined only at the acquisition zone of the product, which is the region of the product which is intended to first be wetted by body fluid, wherein the upper part around the whole of the periphery of the acquisition zone is free from connections to the lower part.
