Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent structure and an absorbent article containing said absorbent structure. The absorbent structure, having a sequence of layers connected together, comprises a first outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, a second outer absorbent layer made from airlaid material, and a fluid storage layer made from airlaid material arranged between the first and second outer absorbent layers, wherein the airlaid material of the first outer absorbent layer comprises first cellulose fibres, the airlaid material of the second outer absorbent layer comprises second cellulose fibres and the airlaid material of the fluid storage layer comprises third cellulose fibres and super-absorbent components, wherein the first and second cellulose fibres have a lower pH value than the third cellulose fibres and the pH value of the first and second cellulose fibres is less than 5.0.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sanitary article, with an absorption body (10) and with leg openings, wherein elongate elasticating means (12) curved in an arc shape are fixed on both sides outside the absorption body (10) in the product transverse direction (16), resulting in elastication of the leg openings (18), wherein a planar material portion (6) facing towards the body comprises a nonwoven (8), characterized in that the nonwoven (8), in the area of the elasticating means (12) on both sides, and for fixing the latter, has, on its side (22) facing away from the body, a first adhesive coating (24) applied in a strip shape over the whole surface and extending in the product longitudinal direction (14), and in that the nonwoven (8), in the area of the elasticating means (12) on both sides, and for fixing the latter, has, on its side (22) facing away from the body on both sides in the product transverse direction (16) outside the first adhesive coating (24), a second adhesive coating (26) applied in a strip shape
