Absorbent article comprising at least one ventilation component

An absorbent article having longitudinal and transverse directions and comprising:

• a front end section, a rear end section and a crotch section interconnecting said end sections;
• a front end edge, a rear end edge and two side edges;
• a liquid impermeable backsheet;
• an absorbent core positioned overlaying a portion of said backsheet;
• at least one margin section, whereby said at least one margin section is located adjacent to at least one of said edges, whereby said backsheet is not overlaid by said absorbent core in said at least one margin section;
• and
• at least one ventilation component constituted by a ventilation material, said at least one ventilation component being positioned overlaying said backsheet, whereby the thickness of the ventilation material measured at 0.5 kPa is at least 1 mm, the porosity of the ventilation material is >80%, and the ratio between the thickness of the ventilation material measured at 5 kPa and the thickness of the ventilation material measured at 0.5 kPa is >0.5, wherein
• said at least one ventilation component is arranged such that it is exclusively localized within one or more margin sections and does not overlap with, or extend over, the absorbent core, and
• said at least one ventilation component is arranged such that an associated spacing is created between the wearer's skin and the backsheet when the absorbent article is worn,
• whereby passage of gas into, within and out of said at least one ventilation component is allowed, thus promoting ventilation of the absorbent article.
