2149144 9410952 PCTABS00032 An absorbent article, particularly a diaper, has a central absorbent unit (1) which is comprised of an elongated absorbent body (2) enclosed between a liquid-permeable inner casing sheet (3) which lies proximal to the wearer in use, and a liquid-impermeable, outer casing sheet (4) which lies distal from the wearer in use. The absorbent unit is provided along its longitudinal edges (9) with liquid-impermeable folds (6) which are upstanding from the inner casing sheet and which form side-leakage barriers. The article has a side-flap (18) on each side of the absorbent unit (1). The side-flaps (18), optionally with associated edge elastic (21, 23), are produced in the form of rectangular strips (10) completely separated from the absorbent unit (1) and are thereafter jointed thereto. A longitudinally extending edge-part (13) of each strip (10) is suitably folded double and the backwardly folded part (19) is joined to the outer casing sheet (3a, 4b or 4) of the absorbent unit (1) along a curved fastening line (21). When the diaper is to be used, the side-flaps (18) are pulled-out laterally, the length of this extension, and therewith the width of the resulting side-flaps (18), being dependent on the curved shape of the fastening line (21). It is therewith possible to produce a curved outer contour (16) of the diaper for conforming to the wearer's legs with side-flaps (18) which originally have straight edges (11, 12). The material from which the side-flaps (18) are made can be chosen quite independently of the inner and the outer casing sheets (3, 4), so as to avoid irritation of the wearer's skin while still fitting closely to the wearer's legs.
