Abstract
The disclosure relates to a disposable hygiene article comprising an absorbent core which has first and second areas. The second area is located centrally in the middle portion of the article and extends longitudinally along a centre axis, transversally and symmetrically in a transverse direction towards each side edge of the core and in a thickness direction of the article. The second area protrudes outwards from a plane of the first area, and covers from 5-15% of a total area of the core. The first area surrounds the second area and covers the remainder of the total area of the core. The second area has grammage higher than grammage of the first area. The second area is integrated with the first area, and the second area is surrounded by a discontinuous embossing pattern which conforms to the shape of the second area of the core.
