An absorbent article with a liquid barrier layer which lies nearest the user's body and which includes a first and a second pair of elastic members. The surface layer is used as the article's supporting unit in which other included parts, such as reverse layer and absorption body, are suspended. The surface layer also has an elongate opening which permits liquid communication from the user's genitals to the inside of the article.
