The invention relates to an absorbent product (8; 12; 16; 22; 25)comprising a nonwoven material (1)arranged to be in contact with skin of a user during use of the absorbent product (8; 12; 16; 22; 25). The nonwoven material (1)comprises at least on a skin contacting surface a mixture of non-absorbent and absorbent fibres. The absorbent fibres are present in an amount of 2-30% by weight, preferably about 2-10% by weight, based on the total weight of the fibres in thenonwoven material (1). The non-absorbent fibres have a coarseness of 1.8to dtexand the absorbent fibres have a coarseness of 1 to 10.The invention also relates to a use of a nonwoven material in an absorbent product to reduce wet friction between the nonwoven and skin of a user.10 (Fig.6)
