Male incontinence guard and method for manufacturing a male incontinence guard

A male incontinence guard comprising a fluid-impermeable backsheet, a fluid-permeable topsheet and an absorbent body arranged between said backsheet and said topsheet, wherein said topsheet faces the user when the incontinence guard is worn by said user, said guard having a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis (Y1) and a transverse extension along a transverse axis (X1), said transverse axis (X1) dividing said guard into an upper region and a lower region, said upper region having a greater maximum extension along the transverse axis (X1) than the maximum extension of the lower region along said transverse axis (X1), said absorbent body comprising a primary core and a secondary core arranged in a stacked configuration, wherein said primary core has an area in an XY plane which is greater that the area of said secondary core, and the secondary core is formed with side edges being at least partly generally parallel to said longitudinal axis (Y1),

• wherein said transverse axis (X1) extends between a first lower corner point and a second lower corner point which define two outermost points of said guard between which said guard has a first width (w1);
• said upper region comprising an inwardly recessed curvature portion extending between a first upper corner point and a second upper corner point and having an arcuate shape, said first and second upper corner points defining a second width (w2);
• wherein the first width (w1) is greater than the second width (w2), and wherein said first lower corner point and first upper corner point and said second lower corner point and second upper corner point, respectively, are connected by outer side edges, and
• wherein said inwardly recessed curvature portion defines an outer boundary edge extending between said first and second upper corner points and wherein said outer boundary edge lies inwardly of an imaginary transverse line (X2) extending between said first and second upper corner points.

A method for manufacturing a male incontinence guard having a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis (Y1) and a transverse extension along a transverse axis (X1), said transverse axis (X1) dividing said guard into an upper region and a lower region, said method comprising:

• providing a fluid-impermeable backsheet;
• providing a fluid-permeable topsheet;
• providing an absorbent body between said backsheet and said topsheet, by arranging a primary absorbent core and a secondary absorbent core in a stacked configuration, wherein said primary core has an area in an XY plane which is greater that the area of said secondary core, wherein side edges of said secondary core are at least partly generally parallel to said longitudinal axis (Y1), and wherein the length of each of said generally parallel side edges is within an interval of 10-70% of a maximum extension of the incontinence guard in a longitudinal direction of the male incontinence guard;
• folding a first portion of the incontinence guard towards the centre of said incontinence guard and folding a second portion of the incontinence guard towards the centre of said incontinence guard so that it at least partly covers the first portion, wherein said folding is carried out in a transverse direction of said guard and along the folding lines defined by the side edges of said secondary core which are at least partly generally parallel to said longitudinal axis (Y1);
• and
• folding a bottom portion of the incontinence guard upwards so as to partly cover both the first portion and the second portion.
