An absorbent product, particularly for the absorption of body exudates, comprising an inner sheet (2) to be positioned close to the wearer's body, an outer sheet (4) to be positioned close to the wearer's garments and an absorbent core (3) positioned between said outer and inner faces (2, 4), the absorbent core (3) being enveloped by a transfer layer (5), made of an absorbent material, which comprises a polymeric material with a basis weight substantially between 8 and 20 g/m<;2>;, and, additionally, at least one permanent surfactant element. The product (1) of the present invention presents, as advantages, a higher absorption capacity and a lower liquid penetration time, even after successive discharges, continuing to rapidly absorb and conduct the body fluids from the discharge region to the absorbent core (3), allowing the correct storage thereof. Also, the transfer layer (5) offers high mechanical strength, reducing the occurrence of structural collapse of the absorbent core (3) due to moisture combined with the application of forces. Furthermore, all these advantages are achieved, while maintaining a reduced manufacturing cost for the absorbent product (1), thus maximizing its potential of penetrating in the consumer market.
