A reusable outer shell for a disposable absorbent insert, the outer shell comprising:
- an inner surface intended to face the absorbent insert and an outer surface being opposite to the inner surface,
- the outer shell having an extension in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction,
- the outer shell comprising a front region, a crotch region and a rear region,
- the outer shell comprises a front pocket cover forming a front pocket in the front region and a rear pocket cover forming a rear pocket in the rear region,
- wherein the front pocket cover has a front pocket transverse distal edge region extending along a front pocket transverse distal edge, and an elastic member is arranged in the front pocket transverse distal edge region and extends in the transverse direction for less than an entirety of the front pocket transverse distal edge,
- wherein the rear pocket cover has a rear pocket transverse distal edge region extending along a rear pocket transverse distal edge, and an elastic member is arranged in the rear pocket transverse distal edge region and extends in the transverse direction for less than an entirety of the rear pocket transverse distal edge,
- the front pocket being adapted to receive a front portion of the absorbent insert and the rear pocket being adapted to receive a rear portion of the absorbent insert,
- the front pocket having a front pocket transverse distal edge adapted to extend over the front portion of the absorbent insert and the rear pocket having a rear pocket transverse distal edge adapted to extend over the rear portion of the absorbent insert,
- the front pocket has a front pocket length, as measured along a longitudinal centerline of the outer shell from a front pocket transverse proximal edge to the front pocket transverse distal edge and the rear pocket has a rear pocket length, as measured along the longitudinal centerline of the outer shell and from a rear pocket transverse proximal edge to the rear pocket transverse distal edge, and
- wherein the rear pocket length is greater than the front pocket length.
