The present disclosure relates to a method of assessing a degree of saturation of an absorbent hygiene article such as a diaper, that is internally or externally, fixedly or removably provided with a strip element comprising at least a first sensing element and a second sensing element. Optionally, the first and second sensing elements are impedance sensing elements for measuring an impedance, respectively. The method comprises the steps of a first group of steps, the first group including the steps of: detecting a first value from the first sensing element; and detecting a second value from the second sensing element. The method further comprises at least one step of a second group of steps, the second group including the steps of: assessing that a degree of saturation of the absorbent hygiene article is substantially zero if the first value does not pass a first threshold and the second value does not pass a second threshold; assessing that a first degree of saturation is present in the absorbent hygiene article if the first value passes the first threshold and the second value does not pass the second threshold; and assessing that a second degree of saturation is present in the absorbent hygiene article if the first value passes the first threshold and the second value passes the second threshold. The second degree of saturation is a larger degree of saturation than the first degree of saturation. The method further comprises the steps of a third group of steps, the third group of steps including the step of outputting a signal indicating a result of an assessing step of the second group of steps.
