Abstract
An absorbent product for men, having an absorption body (5) which tapers from a front section (11) of the product towards a crotch section (12) of the product and which is enclosed in a sheath including a liquid-tight layer (4) and a liquid-permeable layer (3), both of which layers extend beyond the absorption body round about this and are mutually joined there. The absorption body (5) is arranged to extend, during product usage, from the front section of the product in the direction of the crotch section and is adapted to extend with its narrower end section to slightly below the penis of the user. On the liquid-permeable layer (3), at the narrower end section of the absorption body, a liquid barrier (17) is applied, which is arranged to prevent urine emitted by the user from leaking from the surface of the absorption body towards the crotch region.
