Abstract

The invention relates to an incontinence article (2) in the form of briefs, with a stomach portion (4), a back portion (6) and extending between these in the longitudinal direction (9), a crotch portion (8) which has an absorption body (7) with longitudinal edges (46) and which overlaps the stomach and back portions in the front and rear overlap regions (36, 38) to form a layered structure (13) in the Z-direction (11) and is attached non-releasably thereto in front and rear connection regions (306, 308). The backsheet material (62) and topsheet material (84) surrounding the absorption body extend in the transverse direction (16) outside the longitudinal edges of the absorption body to form an overhang (66a, 66b), which amounts in total to at least 25% relative to a maximum width (E) of the crotch portion. The overhang in each case has first regions (65a, 65a′, 65b, 65b′), which extend inside the overlap regions. The connection regions of the stomach portion and of the back portion comprise second joining regions (314a, 314b, 316a, 316b), which are arranged at least inside the first regions of the overhang, such that the second joining regions form reinforcement regions (334a, 334b, 336a, 336b). In the front or rear overlap region, the first regions have openings (346), which extend through the layered structure in the Z-direction and which form air-permeable regions (350a, 350b, 351a, 351b).
