Abstract: A disposable hygiene absorbent product having a liquid-permeable topsheet of a translucent material, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core arranged between the topsheet and the backsheet is disclosed. The absorbent core has a smaller extension than the topsheet and the backsheet and is surrounded by a peripheral edge area which comprises the topsheet and the backsheet. The edge area has an elastic element extending longitudinally following the shape of the core and/or an outermost peripheral edge of the edge area. The backsheet has a different inherent color than the inherent color of the topsheet, the core and the elastic elements, and has a lower L*-value than the topsheet, the core and the elastic elements as measured by a reflectance spectrophotometer. The topsheet is provided with a printed pattern arranged to mask the elastic elements.

Abstract: An absorbent hygiene article for placement in underwear is provided, including a liquid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet.
