Abstract
A sanitary article comprises a fluid permeable surface layer and a backsheet. The backsheet is provided with an adhesive in at least one adhesive region arranged on an outwardly oriented side for attachment of the sanitary article to an undergarment on a user-facing side of the undergarment and at least one adhesive-free region arranged on the outwardly oriented side. The surface layer is an air-through-bonded fibrous nonwoven surface layer having a basis weight of from 14 to 30 g/m2 and a density of from 20 to 90 kg/m3. The adhesive-free region extends in the longitudinal direction and the transverse width of the adhesive-free region is from 7% to 40% of total transverse width of the backsheet, as measured at a widest transverse width of the backsheet in the rear portion.

A sanitary article having longitudinal side edges extending in a longitudinal direction and transverse front and rear end edges extending in a transverse direction, said sanitary article comprises a fluid permeable surface layer and a backsheet, said backsheet being provided with an adhesive in at least one adhesive region arranged on an outwardly oriented side for attachment of the sanitary article to an undergarment on a user-facing side of said undergarment and at least one adhesive-free region arranged on the outwardly oriented side, said backsheet being divided by an imaginary dividing line in a front portion and a rear portion as seen in the longitudinal direction, said front portion and said rear portion being of equal length and corresponding to portions of the backsheet intended to face the user-facing side of the undergarment during use,
- wherein said surface layer is an air-through-bonded fibrous nonwoven surface layer having a basis weight of from 14 to 30 g/m2 and a density of from 20 to 90 kg/m3,
- wherein the adhesive-free region extends in the longitudinal direction, and
- wherein the transverse width of the adhesive-free region is from 7% to 40% of a total transverse width of said backsheet, as measured at a widest transverse width of said backsheet in said rear portion.
