An absorbent article, comprising a substantially fluid impervious backsheet, a substantially fluid permeable topsheet, an acquisition layer for collecting and distributing fluid, a top core for absorbing fluid, a bottom core for absorbing fluid, elastic members. The acquisition layer, the top core and the bottom core are arranged between the topsheet and the backsheet. The acquisition layer is arranged between the topsheet and the top core, and the bottom core is arranged between the backsheet and the top core. The absorbent article extends along a longitudinal axis from its front end towards its rear end. It has longitudinal side edges extending along the longitudinal axis. The elastic members are arranged adjacent to at least a portion of each longitudinal side edge and each elastic member has a tension in a direction along the longitudinal side edge. |
