An absorbent article having two side edges ( ) and two end edges ( ), and comprising a liquid-permeable cover layer ( ), a liquid-impermeable cover layer ( ), and an absorption body ( ) enclosed between the two cover layers ( ). The article further comprises a barrier layer ( ) arranged outside the liquid-permeable cover layer ( ). At least one elastic member ( ) is arranged with prestressing in direct contact with the absorption body ( ) and extends in an arched curve across the absorption body ( ) between the side edges ( ). The barrier layer ( ) partly covers the liquid-permeable cover layer and is anchored in the liquid-permeable cover layer ( ) only within areas of the barrier layer ( ) which are situated along the edges ( ) of the article. At least one elastic member ( ) is arranged in direct connection with the barrier layer ( ), as a result of which the elastic member ( ) cooperates with the elastic member ( ) arranged in contact with the absorption body ( ) so as to form a constantly basin-shaped space ( ) between the barrier layer ( ) and the liquid-permeable cover layer ( ).
