Abstract
An absorbent article such as a diaper, an incontinence guard or the like in which the top sheet (1) of the article includes a transverse barrier (11) which divides the article into a rear and a front part (4, 6) and which is intended to prevent faeces discharged to the rear part of the top sheet from moving to the front part thereof. Arranged in the absorbent body (3) essentially opposite the top sheet barrier (11) is a liquid barrier (21) which prevents, either completely or partially, the transportation of liquid in the absorbent body from the front part of the article to the rear part thereof, at least in the layer (18) of the absorbent body that lies proximal to the wearer in use.
