Absorbent article and method for manufacturing an absorbent article

An absorbent article comprising a main body having a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core sandwiched between said topsheet and said backsheet, said main body being arranged along a longitudinal axis (Y1) and a transversal axis (X1) extending in a perpendicular direction in relation to the longitudinal axis (Y1), said main body defining a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion;

• wherein said article comprises a first wing and a second wing extending outwardly from said crotch portion of the main body in opposite directions in an asymmetric manner with reference to the longitudinal axis (Y1), and generally along said transversal axis (X1), said wings being provided with fastening means configured for fastening said wings to a garment when being folded over said main body and towards said longitudinal axis (Y1), wherein said wings extend generally along a common straight line which defines a first angle (α1) with respect to said transversal axis (X1) which exceeds 0° but which is less than 45°, and that each wing has an outer edge which is generally straight and parallel to the longitudinal axis (Y1), wherein said straight line extends between a first edge mid-point on the outer edge of the first wing and a second edge mid-point on the outer edge on the second wing, said mid-points being positioned halfway along said outer edges and defining outermost points of said wings.
