Abstract: An absorbent article in the form of a sanitary napkin (1), a panty liner or an incontinence protector for women, comprises an absorbent body (2) and a liquid-impervious casing sheet (4) that covers one side of the absorbent body and is joined thereto, either directly or indirectly, wherein the liquid-impervious casing sheet is coated with an adhesive layer (5) that extends at least over a part of the casing sheet, and a removable protective sheet (6) covering the adhesive layer. The protective layer (6) includes a cut-out (7) that extends symmetrically on respective sides of the longitudinal symmetry axis (A—A) of the article, and at least one piece of material (8) that extends in the cut-out.

Abstract: An elastic absorbent article such as a sanitary towel, a panty liner or an incontinence pad includes an inner layer and an outer layer which are elastic and an intermediate absorption body which is non-elastic. The absorption body is connected to at least one of the inner and outer layers only in a central and small region and in that the region is visibly marked on the inner layer.

Abstract: Absorbent product (101) such as a sanitary towel, a panty liner or an incontinence pad, which product has two transverse end edges (117, 118), two longitudinal side edges (119, 120), a liquid-permeable surface layer (102), a liquidtight backing layer (103) and an absorbent core (104) arranged between these layers (102, 103), the product having side flaps (106) arranged at the longitudinal side edges (119, 120) on both sides of the absorbent core (104), which side flaps (106) are of such shape and size that, during use of the product, they can be folded around the leg edges in the crotch portion on a pair of briefs, the side flaps (106) exhibiting a gloss below 25% and a regular transmittance above 5%.
