An absorbent article comprising a hotmelt adhesive comprising a styrene-block-copolymer (SBC), an amorphous polyolefin and optionally a tackifier. The SBC is preferably selected from the group of SEBS, SEPS and SEP polymers, and the amorphous polyolefin is preferably a propylene-based copolymer (PbP) having a weight-average molecular weight Mw of less than 10 000 g/mol. The hotmelt adhesive bonds two components of the article, for example SAP particles on the core wrap.
