The chassis (4) comprises a front portion (5) and aback portion (6), wherein the front and back portions (5; 6) are joined to each other along two opposite longitudinal side edges to define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings. At least one of the front and back portions (5; 6) comprises an elastic web material (10). The article further comprises a crotch portion (7) located between the front portion (5) and the back portion (6) in the longitudinal direction of the article, said front portion (5) having a length (b1) in the longitudinal direction, said back portion (6) having a length (b3) in the longitudinal direction, and said crotch portion (7) having a length (b2) in the longitudinal direction. The absorbent assembly (3) lies at least in said crotch portion (7) and overlaps a certain distance with both the front and back portions (5; 6). According to one embodiment, the absorbent assembly (3) overlaps no more than 20%, preferably no more than 10%, of the surface area of each of the front and back portions, as measured in an extended state of the article.一種褲式吸收物件具有一吸收總成包含一吸收芯及一底墊。該底墊包含一前部與一後部,而該前部與後部會沿二相反的縱向側緣互相接合來形成一腰孔和一對腿孔。該前部與後部至少有一者會包含一彈性網材料。該物件更包含一褲部沿該物件的縱向設在該前部與後部之間,該前部沿縱向具有一長度(b1),該後部沿縱向具有一長度(b3),該褲部沿縱向具有一長度(b2)。該吸收總成會至少設在該褲部中,並與前部和後部重疊一定距離。依據一實施例,當在該物件的伸展狀態來測量時,該吸收總成所重疊的前部和後部之各表面積係不大於20%,且較好不大於10%。
