Absorbent article
First Claim
1. An absorbent article comprising a laminated piece comprising a liquid-permeable top sheet, a back sheet and an absorbent core interposed between the top sheet and the back sheet,wherein the region where the absorbent core is present includes a center region extending along a lengthwise direction of the absorbent article and side regions adjacent to the center region in a crosswise direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction, and the bending resistance of the laminated piece in the center region is higher than the bending resistance of the laminated piece in the side regions, wherein grooves are formed in the absorbent core to extend along the borders between the center region and the side regions.

Abstract
An absorbent article including a laminated piece including a liquid-permeable top sheet, a back sheet and an absorbent core interposed between the top sheet and the back sheet. The region where the absorbent core is present includes a center region extending along a lengthwise direction of the absorbent article and side regions adjacent to the center region in a crosswise direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction. The bending resistance (stiffness) of the laminated piece in the center region is higher than the bending resistance of the laminated piece in the side regions. The absorbent article can be attached in a stably fitting manner with no ready emergence of twisting or tucked-down wrinkles, when the absorbent article is overlaid on the inner face of an outer wear material.

11. An absorbent article comprising a laminated piece comprising a liquid-permeable top sheet, a back sheet and an absorbent core interposed between the top sheet and the back sheet,
wherein the region where the absorbent core is present includes a center region extending along a lengthwise direction of the absorbent article and side regions adjacent to the center region in a crosswise direction perpendicular to the lengthwise direction, and the bending resistance of the laminated piece in the center region is higher than the bending resistance of the laminated piece in the side regions, wherein the center region of the absorbent core is partially pressurized to have a plurality of recesses extending in a lengthwise direction so that the bending resistance of the absorbent core in the center region is higher than that in the side regions.
