A package system, the package system comprising:

• a plurality of non-folded, thin absorbent articles placed adjacent each other in a stack, said plurality of absorbent articles each having a first end portion and a second portion defining an absorbent article length therebetween, said plurality of absorbent articles having similar lengths;
• a package for hygienic storage of the stack of absorbent articles, said package including a container part and a lid part, the container part having an end surface and an upper rim surface;
• wherein the container part and the lid part together cooperate to delimit a storage space intended to accommodate the stack, such that the storage space has a form that principally conforms to the form of the stack;
• wherein said container part is adapted to receive the first end portions of the absorbent articles in the stack proximal the bottom end of said container part such that the second end portions of the absorbent articles extend above the upper rim surface of said container part;
• wherein said lid part includes a recess adapted to receive the second end portions of the absorbent articles in the stack, when said package is in a closed position;
• wherein said container part has a greatest width defined in a transverse direction;
• said length of said absorbent article being greater than said greatest width of said container part;
• wherein the end surface of said container part has a rounded form and the first end portions of the absorbent articles proximal thereto are correspondingly displaced relative to the rounded form such that the second end portions of the absorbent articles extending above the upper rim surface of said container part exhibit a concave form, thereby enabling a user to more easily grasp a foremost one of said absorbent articles;
• and
• wherein said package is shape stable and shock-proof.
