Absorbent article with improved capillary acceleration sheet

A method for manufacturing an absorbent article, comprising the steps of providing a liquid pervious topsheet and a liquid impervious backsheet;

• arranging an absorbent material, comprising superabsorbent particles, between a bottom core wrap sheet and a capillary acceleration sheet, wherein optionally a top core wrap sheet is inserted between the absorbent material and the capillary acceleration sheet, such that one or more channels are formed, wherein less absorbent material per surface area is present in the one or more channels compared areas around the one or more channels, wherein no absorbent material is present in the one or more channels;
• and arranging the liquid pervious topsheet at the side of the capillary acceleration sheet and the liquid impervious backsheet at the side of the bottom core wrap, wherein the capillary acceleration sheet comprises at least one meltblown layer, and wherein the at least one meltblown layer represents between two and eight weight % of the weight of the capillary acceleration sheet;
• and wherein the at least one meltblown layer has a basis weight of less than 1 g/m2.
