Incontinence pad with varying thickness profile

A urine incontinence pad having longitudinal side edges extending in a longitudinal direction and transverse end edges, and comprising

• a fluid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core being located between said topsheet and said backsheet,
• said absorbent core having a core front edge, a core rear edge, a core first longitudinal side edge and a core second longitudinal side edge,
• said absorbent core comprising a first core layer and a fluid control layer,
• said absorbent core in the longitudinal direction having a front portion, a rear portion and an intermediate portion located between said front portion and said rear portion, said front portion and said rear portion each having a length of about 30% of the total length of said absorbent core and said intermediate portion having a length of about 40% of the total length of said absorbent core,
• said first core layer extending over said front portion, said intermediate portion and said rear portion, said fluid control layer being shorter than said first core layer and extending in said front portion and said intermediate portion,
• said first core layer comprises 100 gsm superabsorbent material or more,
• said absorbent core having a varying thickness profile as seen in said longitudinal direction, with a first thickness (T1) in said intermediate portion and a second thickness (T2) in said rear portion,
• wherein said first thickness (T1) in said intermediate portion is from 9 mm or more and said second thickness (T2) is from 4 to 0.3 mm, as measured under a load of 0.5 kPa,
• and a region having said second thickness (T2) extends 30 mm or more in the longitudinal direction from said core rear edge and toward said core front edge.
