Abstract
The present invention relates to an absorbent article (), preferably an incontinence pant-like diaper, comprising a chassis (), a front waist region (), a back waist region () and a crotch region () extending between said front and back waist regions (); wherein the front and back waist regions () are joinable to each other and wherein, when joined, a waist-opening is formed and a pair of leg-openings are formed by one or more crotch-leg-peripheral-edges (') and front and back waist-leg-peripheral-edges (′), and wherein first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (′) extend from a first position (′) proximal to the crotch region () to a second position (′) distal therefrom and proximal to a lateral edge (′) of the front waist region (), said first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (′) being oppositely disposed from the longitudinal axis. It is characterized in that distance D extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (Y-Y) between the front waist end () and a fifth position (′) along the first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (′) which is closest to the front waist end (), is smaller than length L of a front waist lateral edge (′) extending parallel to the longitudinal axis (Y-Y).
