The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, catamenials or adult incontinence inserts which are used in combination with undergarments. The absorbent articles according to the present invention have a minimum length of 270 mm, i.e. they are relatively long absorbent articles, and they are provided with a fastening adhesive to attach them to the undergarment during use. In particular the present invention relates to such absorbent articles which are not symmetrical in longitudinal direction, i.e. they extend when placed on a wearer more to the front or more to the rear considering the perineal area of a female wearer of such articles. The fastening adhesive is also provided with an asymmetry in respect to the longitudinal direction.
