Abstract
The absorbent article as disclosed herein has longitudinal side edges extending in a longitudinal direction and transverse front and rear end edges extending in a transverse direction. The absorbent article comprises a fluid permeable surface layer, a backsheet and an intermediate layer located between the fluid permeable surface layer and the backsheet. The surface layer has a wearer-facing portion facing the user during use. The surface layer is an air through bonded fibrous nonwoven surface layer having a basis weight of from 14 to 30 g/m2 and a density of from 20 to 90 kg/m3. The intermediate layer extends under from 70 to 100% of the wearer-facing portion of the surface layer. The intermediate layer and the surface layer have a respective elongation at 10 N/50 mm. The elongation of the intermediate layer is lower than the elongation of the surface layer.
