FIELD: personal demand items.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a folded absorbent article that has at least one transverse fold, and this absorbent article includes an absorbent element. Folded absorbent article (100) has at least one transverse fold, and this absorbent article includes an absorbent element (103), and an absorbent element (103) includes a receiving liquid flexible foam layer (104) and a liquid-absorbent fibrous layer (105) in its thickness direction. Receiving liquid flexible foam layer (104) has a total liquid receiving surface at the plane extension of the article, which at least covers the entire surface of the liquid-absorbent fibrous layer (105) at the plane extension. Receiving liquid flexible foam layer (104) has a bending stiffness which is less than 0.30 N when determined according to the modified method of measuring the round bend, and the liquid-absorbent fibrous layer (105) has a bending stiffness which is more than 2.0 N when determined according to the modified method of measuring the round bend.

EFFECT: increased leakage protection, softness and suitability for packaging so that the transportation and storage space costs are minimized.
