Abstract: A washable and reusable absorbent undergarment of knitted or woven material(s) having an extension in the longitudinal direction and in the transversal direction and including an absorbent assembly. The absorbent assembly includes a first wearer facing layer having openings therein, a garment facing moisture barrier, a second layer directly beneath said top layer, the second layer being a wicking layer or an absorbent layer. The top layer has, in the CIE L*a*b* colour space, an L? value, the second layer has, in the CIE L*a*b* colour space, an L* value, and there is a mutual colour difference ?E*ab between the top layer and the second layer of at least 15.

Abstract: A washable and reusable absorbent undergarment includes an absorbent assembly, including a wearer facing top layer, a moisture barrier layer, and at least two intermediate layers between the top layer and the moisture barrier, wherein the absorbent assembly is permanently attached to at least one out of the one or more of fabric panels in at least part of the intermediate region by a set of one or more bonding members wherein, in a front intermediate region of the undergarment, a maximum front bond width as measured transversally over the set of bonding members between the absorbent assembly and the one or more fabric panels is no more than 11 cm.

Abstract: The disclosure provides an absorbent undergarment comprising an integrated absorbent assembly, having an extension in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The assembly comprises an absorbent core comprising first and second absorbent layers, and having front, crotch and rear portions, and front and rear transverse edges. The first and second absorbent layers overlap in the crotch portion. The first absorbent layer has a first layer frontmost half and a rearmost half, the first absorbent layer having front and rear transverse edges. The second absorbent layer has a rearmost half and frontmost half, the second absorbent layer has a rear transverse edge and front transverse edge, wherein a maximum width of the first layer frontmost half is greater than that of the first layer rearmost half and wherein a maximum width of the second layer rearmost half is greater than that of the second layer frontmost half.
