Abstract
An absorbent article intended for female users, has such a form and size that it can principally be accommodated in the crotch part of a pair of underpants, a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a thickness direction. The article displays a liquid-permeable surface (2), and a liquid-impermeable surface (3), and also an absorbent core consisting of at least one absorbent body (5) arranged between the two surfaces (2, 3). A raised portion (7) extending in the longitudinal direction and displaying two end portions is arranged at the liquid-permeable surface (2) of the article. The raised portion (5) displays spacing elements (16) which during use of the article create channels (17) for the flow of liquid between the raised portion (5) and the body of the user.
