PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article manufactured by a simple production process and easily raising leg-side gathers to a wearer side.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 1 includes an absorber 40 having wide width parts 41 that are located at cross-directional both ends of the absorber, and a narrow width part 42 that is located at the cross-directional inward of the wide width parts. Parts of leg-side elastic members 33 are disposed at the width-directional outward of the narrow width part of the absorber. An absorbent body and an exterior body are joined together at a width-direction inward of the width-directional outside ends of the wide width parts and at a width-directional outside ends of the narrow width part of the absorber. The exterior body includes back leg opening elastic members 5R that are disposed across the width-directional outside ends of the narrow width part and contract an area where the exterior body and the absorber body are joined, in the width direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡易な製造工程によって製造でき、レッグサイドギャザーを着用者側に立ち上げ易くすることができる吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】吸収性物品1は、吸収体の前後方向両端部に位置する幅広部41と幅広部よりも前後方向内側に位置する幅狭部42とを有する吸収体40を備える。レッグサイド弾性部材33の一部は、吸収体の幅狭部よりも幅方向外側に配置されている。吸収性本体と外装体は、幅広部の幅方向外側端部よりも幅方向内側かつ吸収体の幅狭部の幅方向外側端部において接合されている。外装体は、幅狭部の幅方向外側端部を跨がって配置され、かつ外装体と吸収性本体とが接合された領域を幅方向に収縮する後脚回り弾性部材5Rを備える。【選択図】図2
