An indicator (60) for indicating the presence of exudates and is positioned on a case-facing side of the backsheet. The indicator comprises an electrically conductive material. The article further comprises a detection device can be removably attached to the absorbent article such to become in electrical communication with the indicator when attached to the article to measure a change in resistance or capacitance in response to a voiding event. The absorbent core comprises channels (500) free of absorbent material and in that the indicator comprises a pattern that extends inboard and/or outboard of the channels such that it does not overlap with the channels. The pattern extends parallel to a portion of the channels. USE - Absorbent article for personal hygiene such as diaper or training pant or incontinence insert, adult incontinence product and feminine hygiene product e.g. sanitary napkins and tampons. ADVANTAGE - The article provides an environmentally friendly solution for automatic voiding pattern detection that can be used to monitor the babies development or an adult's incontinence in an effective manner. The article has fluid distribution enhancing features such as channels. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing shows a top view of an absorbent article.
