ABSTRACT:
An absorbent product, such as a sanitary towel, has a stiffening element (6) which is intended to contribute to the three-dimensional shape of the product during its use. The stiffening element (6) is in a plane state before use of the product and extends in the longitudinal direction of the product over the crotch portion (3) and at least some way in over the front portion (1). The stiffening element (6) has a width (M) at the transition (12) between the crotch portion (3) and the front portion (1) which is adapted to the distance between the muscle tendons of the wearer on both sides of the crotch of the wearer in the groin of the latter and which is of the order of 15-45 mm. The stiffening element (6) extends some way in over the rear portion (2) and there consists of two separate portions (14, 15), one on each side of a longitudinal center line (L).
