The present invention relates to the field of hygiene articles, in particular to a means for reducing soiling of the skin of a wearer upon defecation. In particular, it relates to a hygiene article comprising a skin protection sheet that comprises a discontinuity as a faeces passageway, such as an opening or a slit. In use, the sheet and the discontinuity are urged towards the anus by a pull means and spread open by a spreading means, such that faeces can pass through the discontinuity but are separated from the skin of the wearer elsewhere. The pull means of the article is adapted to be connected to a suspender system that allows pulling of the pull means independently from the fixation of the article on the wearer, such that the disposable article and the suspender system represent an improved combined system or kit.
