The invention relates to an absorbent core (3), intended for use in an absorbent product such as a panty liner. The core (3) comprises an absorbent material and a superabsorbent material. The core (3) has a first extension in a longitudinal direction and a second extension in a transverse direction, and the core has a longitudinal central line (A) extending through the core, located between a first longitudinal portion (I) and a second longitudinal portion (II). The first and second longitudinal portions (I； II) are symmetric about the longitudinal central line (A). The core has a head portion (al), an intermediate portion (a2) and a rear portion (a3) extending in a longitudinal direction of the core. The head portion (al) comprises mirror imaged first circular segment portions (11； 11') and first edge lines (13； 13') to which the circular segment portions (11, 11') transition. The intermediate portion (a2) comprises mirror imaged first convex edge portions (15； 15'). The rear portion (a3) comprises second edge lines (17； 17') tapering towards a rear end (T5) and the central line (A) of the core in an angle (γ).
