An absorbent article for personal hygiene, having a longitudinal centerline and a transversal centerline, the absorbent article comprising:
- a liquid-permeable topsheet;
- a liquid-impermeable backsheet;
- an absorbent core between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core comprises an absorbent material disposed between an upper substrate layer and a lower substrate layer forming a core wrap;
- wherein the absorbent material comprises at least 50% superabsorbent polymers by weight of the absorbent material;
- and
- a cushion layer disposed between the absorbent core and the backsheet;
- wherein the cushion layer comprises at least two sub-layers, and wherein the sub-layers are arranged so that the cushion layer has a higher basis weight in a longitudinally-extending central area relative to lateral areas disposed transversally outwardly of the central area.
