Bodily fluid absorbent article

A bodily fluid absorbent article having a longitudinal direction and a thickness direction and comprising:

• a liquid-pervious topsheet;
• a liquid-pervious or liquid-impervious backsheet;
• and
• an absorbent structure sandwiched between the top- and backsheets as viewed in the thickness direction,
• wherein the absorbent structure comprises a mass or an aggregation of liquid-absorbent materials, at least including liquid-absorbent fibers, wrapped with one or more wrapping sheets, and dispersing surface facilitating bodily fluid to be dispersed, and wherein at least a portion of one of the wrapping sheets located above the absorbent structure as viewed in the thickness direction is liquid-pervious, wherein:
• the absorbent structure further comprises an upper absorbent component and a lower absorbent component each comprising a mass or an aggregation of liquid-absorbent materials including at least liquid-absorbent fibers and each lying inside the one or more wrapping sheets and layered one on another in the thickness direction;
• a dispersing surface comprising a surface of the upper absorbent component which is kept in contact with the lower absorbent component or a surface of the lower absorbent component which is kept in contact with the upper absorbent component;
• and
• the liquid-absorbent fibers in the dispersing surface extend along the dispersing surface,
• wherein both the upper absorbent component and the lower absorbent component include central sections as viewed in one of the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, which are dimensioned to be thicker than respective end sections extending outside the central sections as viewed in one of the respective longitudinal and transverse directions.
