An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner or a female incontinence napkin, is intended to be carried in the crotch part of the wearer inside her underwear, has a generally elongate shape and includes two long sides, two short sides, two end-portions, a center portion located between the end-portions, a liquid-permeable casing sheet that is intended to lie proximal to the wearer's body in use, a liquid-impermeable casing sheet that is intended to lie distal form the wearer's body in use, and further includes between the layers, as seen in a direction from the liquid-permeable casing sheet towards the liquid-impermeable casing sheet, a drainage layer, an absorption layer, and a hump-forming element which forms together with the drainage layer and the absorption layer a hump that projects out from the plane of the napkin on that side of the napkin which is intended to lie proximal to the wearer in the use. In one embodiment, at least one cut is made through the drainage sheet and the absorption layer, and the hump-forming element is pushed up through these layers.

Absorbent articles with improved leakage safety

An absorbent article, such as a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, or a protector from female incontinence, is intended for wear in the crotch region of the wearer inside her underclothes. The article is generally elongate in shape and has two long sides, two short sides, two end-portions, a center portion disposed between the end-portions, a liquid-permeable casing sheet intended to lie proximal to the wearer's body in use, a liquid-impermeable casing sheet intended to lie distal from the wearer's body in use, and between the layers in a direction from the liquid-permeable casing sheet and towards the liquid-impermeable casing sheet a drainage layer, an absorption layer, and a hump-forming element which together with the drainage layer and the absorption layer forms a hump which projects out from the plane of the napkin on that side of the napkin which is intended to lie proximal to the wearer in use. At least one cut is made through the drainage layer and the absorption layer, and the hump-forming element is protruded up through the layers.
