Absorbent article and distribution material

An absorbent article for personal hygiene comprising

• a liquid permeable topsheet,
• a liquid impermeable backsheet,
• an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet, the absorbent core comprising an absorbent material,
• a distribution material between the topsheet and the absorbent core, wherein the distribution material is notionally divided in a front region, a back region, and a middle region located between the front and the back region, wherein each of the front region, the back region, and the middle region is about ⅓ of a length of the distribution material, and wherein at least one of the front, back, and middle regions of the distribution material comprises two or more layers,
• wherein the two or more layers of the distribution material comprises a fibrous structure made of wet-laid fibers, wherein the two or more layers of the distribution material exhibit a Wet Burst Strength from about 50 g to about 500 g, according to a Wet Burst Strength Test Method,
• wherein at least one of the two or more layers of the distribution material have a dry caliper at a pressure of 2.06 kPa from about 0.1 mm to about 1.0 mm and the two or more layers of the distribution material have a total dry caliper at a pressure of 2.06 kPa from about 1.0 mm to about 30 0 mm, according to a Dry Caliper measurement Test Method,
• wherein a portion of the distribution material is formed by folding the portion of the distribution material over itself, and
• wherein the portion of the distribution material comprises a sheet of the fibrous structure of the distribution material which is notionally divided into a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion, wherein the first portion of the sheet of the fibrous structure is folded onto the second portion, wherein the third portion of the sheet of the fibrous structure is folded onto the folded first portion to form a trifolded sheet of the fibrous structure, and wherein each of the first portion, the second portion, and third portion form one of the layers of the distribution material.
