1. An absorbent article, comprising:
a first layer with at least two conductive lines being provided thereon along and throughout its length, the at least two conductive lines being configured to detect the presence and/or amount of wetness in the absorbent article; and
a second porous layer overlaying the first layer;
wherein conductive material is applied onto the second porous layer to provide on the second porous layer a same number of conductive lines in a same arrangement as those provided on the first layer such that the conductive lines provided on the second porous layer overlap and are opposite to those provided on the first layer, and those of the conductive material that are impregnated into the second porous layer connects the conductive lines provided on the second porous layer to the conductive lines on the first layer, thereby enabling a direct contact between the at least two conductive lines on the first layer of the absorbent article and contacts of a pod clipped on the absorbent article.
