An absorbent, disposable article includes a casing layer permeable to liquid and a substantially liquid-impermeable backside layer and an absorption body disposed between the liquid-permeable casing layer and the substantially liquid-impermeable backside layer. The article and the absorption body include a longitudinal centre line, a crotch area, a front end area and a back end area. Furthermore, the absorption body includes a first absorption layer facing the user during use having longitudinal edges and a second absorption layer facing away from the user during use having longitudinal edges. The first absorption layer has a first longitudinal opening disposed in the crotch area and the second absorption layer has a first longitudinal compression disposed in the crotch area. At least 70% of applied drops in a test for hydrophilicity in the liquid-permeable casing layer of the article in-should penetrate into the article within 10 seconds.
