The article is characterized by the following features: an absorbent layer, and at least one reinforcing layer in order to insure article strength during use. Preferably, the absorbent layer is a flat layer having at least one superabsorbent material and either a non-woven fabric or at least one pad of fibers, and has an absorption capacity of at least 150 g of perspiration per m2 of the absorbent layer. Preferably, the at least one reinforcing layer is at least a pair of gas-permeable reinforcing layers respectively bound to each side of the absorbent layer, and the at least one reinforcing layer is made of a microperforated film or a non-woven fabric. Preferably, each layer of the article is liquid permeable.
