Absorbent article with shaped acquisition system

An absorbent article having a longitudinal centerline and a longitudinal direction along and in parallel to the longitudinal centerline;

• a transverse centerline and a transverse direction along and in parallel to the transverse centerline, a front waist region with a front waist edge, a back waist region with a back waist edge and a crotch region extending longitudinally between the front and back waist region, the absorbent article comprising:
• an absorbent main body with longitudinally extending side edges and transversely extending end edges, the absorbent main body comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core, and an acquisition system, wherein the absorbent core and the acquisition system are sandwiched between the topsheet and the backsheet with the acquisition system being provided between the topsheet and the absorbent core;
• the absorbent main body further comprising elasticized barrier leg cuffs extending at least partially between the end edges along both longitudinally extending side edges of the absorbent main body in the crotch region, and extending into the front and back waist region,
• the barrier leg cuffs each having a proximal edge attached to the topsheet and/or the backsheet and a free terminal edge, which is intended to contact and form a seal with the wearer's skin, wherein the free terminal edge of each barrier leg cuff is folded towards the longitudinal centerline and onto the topsheet when the absorbent article is laid flat and stretched out, and each of the barrier leg cuffs overlays the topsheet in the transverse direction, extending from the proximal edge to the free terminal edge of each barrier leg cuff,
• wherein the acquisition system has a longitudinal dimension which is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, and which is equally divided in three sections, the section being closest to the front waist edge of the absorbent article being the front section, the section being closest to the back waist edge of the absorbent article being the back section, and the section in between the front and back section being the center section, wherein at least the front section extends underneath the barrier leg cuffs when the barrier leg cuffs are folded onto the topsheet, and
• wherein the acquisition system comprises one or more than one layer, and wherein the transverse dimension of at least one layer is wider in the front section than in the center section and in the back section.
