A male incontinence guard comprising a fluid-impermeable backsheet, a fluid-permeable topsheet and an absorbent body arranged between said backsheet and said topsheet, wherein said topsheet faces the user when the incontinence guard is worn by said user, said guard having a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis (Y1) and a transverse extension along a transverse axis (X1), said transverse axis (X1) dividing said guard into an upper region and a lower region, wherein said transverse axis (X1) extends between a first lower corner point and a second lower corner point which define two outermost points of said guard between which said guard has a first width; said upper region comprising an inwardly recessed curvature portion extending between a first upper corner point and a second upper corner point and having an arcuate shape, said upper corner points defining a second width (w2); wherein the first width (w1) is greater than the second width (w2), and wherein said first lower corner point and first upper corner point and said second lower corner point and second upper corner point, respectively, are connected by outer side edges, and wherein said guard is arranged having elasticized elements arranged along outer edges of said lower region, and wherein the ratio between the first width (w1) and the second width (w2) is in the range of 30-80%, and wherein the ratio between a distance (d1) defined by an imaginary longitudinal line (Y2), being parallel to said longitudinal axis (Y1) and extending from any one of said upper corner points to said transversal axis (X1), and a distance (d2) extending from any one of said lower corner points to said longitudinal line (Y2), is in the range of 0.25-4.0, wherein a straight line is defined as extending through a lower corner point and an upper corner point, and wherein an angle (a) is defined between said straight line and said imaginary longitudinal line (Y2), said angle (a) being in the range of 12-78 degrees, and wherein a measurement (d4) is defined as a distance between said straight line and a maximum outer extension of said incontinence guard, wherein said measurement (d4) is less than 25% of a distance between first lower corner point and the first upper corner point; and wherein said inwardly recessed curvature portion defines an outer boundary edge extending between said upper corner points and wherein said outer boundary edge lies inwardly of an imaginary transverse line (X2) extending between said upper corner points.
