A male incontinence guard having a longitudinal extension defined between a first (4) and a second (5) end and a triangular base shape with a maximum width transverse to the longitudinal direction at the first end (4) and a minimum width at the second end (5), the male incontinence guard comprising a liquid permeable top sheet (18), a liquid impermeable back sheet (20) an absorbent core (20) between the top sheet (18) and the back sheet (20), the absorbent core (20) having straight longitudinal side edges (24, 25) a side barrier (40, 41) at each longitudinal side edge (24, 25) of the absorbent core (20), each side barrier (40, 41) being formed by at least the back sheer (20) extending beyond at least a longitudinal portion of the longitudinal side edges (24, 25) of the absorbent core (20), each side barrier (40, 41) having an outer edge facing away from the respective longitudinal side edge (24, 25) of the absorbent core (20) and an elastic fixed to at least, the back sheet (20) between the longitudinal side edge and the outer edge characterized in that a distance between the elastics (22, 23) of the side barriers (40, 41) and the respective longitudinal side edge (24, 25) of the absorbent core (20) in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal side edge (24, 25) differs along the longitudinal direction.
