Abstract

An insert for use together with an absorbent article such as a diaper, an incontinence product, a sanitary towel, a panty liner or the like. The insert is substantially non-urine-absorbing and comprises a support sheet (2) which has a first surface (12) and a second surface (13), the first surface (12) being treated with a skincare agent (14), and the second surface (13) being substantially impermeable to the skincare agent. The insert further includes at least one spacing and liquid-receiving sheet (3) placed against the second surface (13) of the support sheet (2). The spacing and liquid-receiving sheet facilitates the intake of liquid through the topsheet when the insert is in use.
