The present disclosure relates to a folded absorbent article (47) comprising an absorbent core (2) sandwiched between a liquid-permeable topsheet (14) and a liquid-impermeable 5 backsheet (15). Said absorbent article further comprising a front portion (7), a back portion (8) and a crotch portion (9), and fastening tabs (10). Moreover, the absorbent core (2) comprises a first and a second primarily longitudinally extending channel (12, 13). Each transverse side (37) of the absorbent article is folded along respective longitudinal fold line (38), thereby forming a firstly folded absorbent article (39). The firstly folded absorbent article (39) is thereafter folded along a first transverse fold line (41 ) located in the region of the transverse centre line (31 ) thereby forming a secondly folded absorbent article (42). Finally, the secondly folded absorbent article (42) is folded along a second transverse fold line (45) located approximately in the middle between the transverse centre line (31 ) and a waist edge (3, 4) thereby forming a thirdly folded absorbent article (47). The disclosure also relates to a method for manufacturing such a folded absorbent article, as well as a package including a stack of such absorbent articles.La présente invention concerne un article absorbant plié (47) comprenant un noyau absorbant (2) pris en sandwich entre une feuille supérieure perméable aux liquides (14) et une feuille arrière imperméable aux liquides (15). Ledit article absorbant comprend en outre une partie avant (7), une partie arrière (8) et une partie d'entrejambe (9), et des pattes de fixation (10). De plus, le noyau absorbant (2) comprend un premier et un second canal (12, 13) s'étendant principalement longitudinalement. Chaque côté transversal (37) de l'article absorbant est plié le long d'une ligne de pliage longitudinale respective (38), formant ainsi un article absorbant premièrement plié (39). L'article absorbant premièrement plié (39) est ensuite plié le long d'une
