The absorbent product has a backsheet, a topsheet overlaying the backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the backsheet and the topsheet for absorbing and retaining fluid secreted by a wearer of the absorbent product. The absorbent core includes a pair of arm portions and a pair of leg portions, with the arm and leg portions protruding laterally and longitudinally from a central portion of the absorbent core.
