Abstract (en)

[origin: WO03003959A1] An absorbent article with a longitunal direction and a transverse direction and comprising an absorption body (104) enclosed in a cover (102, 103), wherein the cover (102, 103) has a fluid-permeable surface (102) and a fluid-impermeable surface (103) and wherein the absorption body (104) comprises at least one absorption layer (124), exhibiting a penetrating slit with a first cut edge (126) and a second cut edge (127). The absorption layer is shaped by the material on both sides of the two cut edges (126, 127) being moved in a direction essentially at right angles to the slit and being locked in the moved position. The invention also pertains to a method of manufacturing a shaped absorption layer (924) with a penetrating slit (925), the cut edges being moved together, or apart.
