Absorbent article

An absorbent article having longitudinal side edges extending in a longitudinal direction and transverse end edges, and comprising:

• a fluid permeable surface layer, a backsheet and an intermediate layer being located between said surface layer and said backsheet,
• the fluid permeable surface layer having a wearer-facing portion facing the user during use of said article,
• wherein said surface layer is an air through bonded fibrous nonwoven surface layer comprising synthetic fibers and having a basis weight of from 14 to 30 g/m2 and a density of from 20 to 90 kg/m3,
• wherein said intermediate layer is provided under from 70% to 100% of a total surface area of the wearer-facing portion of the surface layer,
• wherein each of said intermediate layer and said surface layer has a respective elongation at 10 N/50 mm, and
• wherein said elongation of said intermediate layer is lower than said elongation of said surface layer,
• wherein said surface layer is attached to said backsheet along said longitudinal side edges and along said transverse end edges in a border attachment portion and wherein said intermediate layer extends between said surface layer and said backsheet in said border attachment portion.

An absorbent article having longitudinal side edges extending in a longitudinal direction and transverse end edges, and comprising:

• a fluid permeable uppermost surface layer, a backsheet, an intermediate layer being located between said surface layer and said backsheet, and an absorbent core being located between said intermediate layer and said backsheet,
• the fluid permeable surface layer having a wearer-facing portion facing the user during use of said article,
• wherein said surface layer is a single layer of an air through bonded fibrous nonwoven comprising synthetic fibers and having a basis weight of from 14 to 30 g/m2 and a density of from 20 to 90 kg/m3,
• wherein said intermediate layer is provided under from 70% to 100% of a total surface area of the wearer-facing portion of the surface layer,
• wherein each of said intermediate layer and said surface layer has a respective elongation at 10 N/50 mm, and
• wherein said elongation of said intermediate layer is lower than said elongation of said surface layer,
• wherein, in an area overlapping the absorbent core, an entirety of where the surface layer abuts the intermediate layer is essentially on a same plane.
