An absorbent article comprising a main body having a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core sandwiched between said topsheet and said backsheet, said main body being arranged along a longitudinal axis (Y1) and a transversal axis (X1) extending in a perpendicular direction in relation to the longitudinal axis (Y1), said main body defining a front portion, a back portion and a crotch portion; wherein said article comprises a first wing and a second wing extending outwardly from said crotch portion of the main body in opposite directions in an asymmetric manner with reference to the longitudinal axis (Y1), and generally along said transversal axis (X1), said wings being provided with first and second fastening means configured for fastening said wings to a garment when being folded over said main body and towards said longitudinal axis (Y1), wherein each wing includes a periphery defined by an outer edge that faces away from the longitudinal axis (Y1) in an unfolded state of the article and at least one side edge that faces inwardly towards the longitudinal axis (Y1) in the unfolded state of the article and connects the outer edge to the main body, with the outer edge of each wing defining at least one arc of a circle coinciding with a section of the outer edge and having a defined radius (r), said section extending between a first point on the outer edge and a second point along said outer edge where said arc no longer coincides with said outer edge, wherein said radius (r) is within an interval of 50-300 mm, and wherein said outer edge includes said first point in the form of a transversally outermost point of the wing, said section extending from said outermost point and to said second point, and wherein the outer edge of each wing is formed with no straight edge sections.
