The present invention relates to a folded absorbent article disclosed herein, which comprises a fluid permeable topsheet, a backsheet and at least two core layers positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet, an upper core layer and one or more lower core layer(s). Includes core. The top core layer is positioned between the topsheet and one or more bottom core layer(s), and the topsheet and backsheet extend together sideways outside the absorbent core. The absorbent core has a front portion, a rear portion, and an intermediate portion located between the front portion and the rear portion in its longitudinal direction, and the transverse width of the transition portion between the front portion and the middle portion of the core is narrower than the transverse width of the rest of the core. The first distal end of the article folds along the first transverse fold line over the central region of the article, the first fold line coinciding or adjoining the narrow transverse transition between the front and middle portions of the core. The upper core layer extends past the front, middle and back portions of the absorbent core. At least one of the one or more lower core layer(s) is shorter than the upper core layer and extends past at least a portion of the middle and front portions of the absorbent core. The second distal end of the article is folded along a second transverse fold line over the central region of the article, the second fold line being at or adjacent to the rear transverse edge of the at least one short lower core layer, the second fold line being Coinciding with the transition between the middle and rear portions of the absorbent core, the second fold line is adjacent to the rear transverse edge of the first absorbent core layer, (i) the first distal end folded over the central region and the second distal end Is folded over the first end or (ii) the second end is folded over the central region and the first end is folded over the second end.본 발명은
