Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article (1), preferably an incontinence pant-like diaper, comprising a chassis (2), a front waist region (3), a back waist region (4) and a crotch region (5) extending between said front and back waist regions (3,4); wherein the front and back waist regions (3,4) 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 (17,17?) and front and back waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18?,19,19?), and wherein first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18?) extend from a first position (20,20?) proximal to the crotch region (5) to a second position (21,21?) distal therefrom and proximal to a lateral edge (15,15?) of the front waist region (3), said first and second front waist-leg-peripheral-edges (18,18?) being oppositely disposed from the longitudinal axis.
