An absorbent core (28) for use in an absorbent article, the absorbent core comprising: a first absorbent layer (1) comprising a first substrate (2), a layer (3) of first superabsorbent polymer particles deposited on the first substrate on a deposition area (8) and a fibrous layer (4) of thermoplastic adhesive material covering the layer of first superabsorbent polymer particles, a second absorbent layer (5) comprising a second substrate (6) and a mixed layer (7) comprising a mixture of second superabsorbent particles and cellulosic fibers deposited on the second substrate. The first and second absorbent layers are combined together such that at least a portion of the fibrous thermoplastic adhesive material of the first absorbent layer contacts at least a portion of the mixed layer of the second absorbent layer.
