An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap and a back core wrap, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge; the absorbent core comprising at least a front and a rear attachment zone, and a bridging zone extending at least partially between said front and rear attachment zone, wherein the bridging zone extends from a first longitudinal portion of the absorbent core to a second longitudinal portion of the absorbent core, such that upon wetting of the absorbent material, a front and rear channel are created at said front and rear attachment zone, respectively, wherein the bridging zone allows a liquid flow between the first longitudinal portion and the second longitudinal portion.

An absorbent article comprising an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap and a back core wrap, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge; the absorbent core being comprising at least a first and a second attachment zone, extending next to each other in the direction of the first and/or second transverse edge; wherein in said first and second attachment zone: said top core wrap is attached to said back core wrap along an attachment which extends over a transverse distance which is at least 1 mm; and/or said top core wrap is attached to said back core wrap along a discontinuous attachment at a plurality of locations at a distance of each other; such that upon wetting of the absorbent material, a first and second channel are created at said first and second attachment zone.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap sheet and a back core wrap sheet, said absorbent core being positioned in between said topsheet and said backsheet, said absorbent core having a first and second side edge, a front edge and a rear edge, wherein the absorbent core is provided with a plurality of attachment zones where the top core wrap sheet is attached to the back core wrap sheet, and where substantially no absorbent material is present, wherein, seen in a longitudinal direction of the absorbent core, looking from the front edge to the rear edge, the absorbent core comprises subsequently a first, second, third, fourth and fifth zone.

An absorbent article comprising a liquid pervious topsheet, a liquid impervious backsheet, and an absorbent core comprising an absorbent material between a top core wrap sheet and a back core wrap sheet, said absorbent core being positioned in between said topsheet and said backsheet, said absorbent core having a first and second longitudinal edge and a first and second transverse edge, said absorbent core having a first portion (130a), (130b) and a second portion (130b), (130a) on either side of a transverse crotch line (L), wherein the absorbent core is provided with a plurality of attachment zones where the top core wrap sheet is attached to the back core wrap sheet, wherein, measured in a transverse direction, a first maximum distance between a first and a second attachment zone is bigger than a second maximum distance between a third and a fourth attachment zone.
