This production method for an absorbent article 10 has a first transport step S20 for transporting a band continuum 80C, an application step S23 for providing a pair of side bonding regions SBR, a cutting step S30 for cutting the band continuum 80C having an adhesive applied thereon, a second transport step S40 for transporting a waist band 80 to a main-body continuum 11C, and a bonding step S50 for bonding the waist band 80 to the main-body continuum 11C through the adhesive. The first transport step S20 has a circumferential-direction transport step S26 for transporting the band continuum 80C in a circumferential direction CID using a rotating drum device 130, in a state where the band continuum 80C held by at least one of a plurality of holding parts 132 so that the pair of side bonding regions SBR each overlap at least one of a plurality of suction holes 135. In the cutting step S30, the band continuum 80C extending over at least two of the plurality of holding parts 132 are cut by being transported in the circumferential direction CID. In the second transport step S40, the waist band 80 is transported to the main-body continuum 11C while a state is maintained in which the pair of side bonding regions SBR are each overlapped with at least one of the plurality of suction holes 135.L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un article absorbant (10) qui comprend une première étape de transport (S20) consistant à transporter un continuum de bande (80C), une étape d'application (S23) consistant à fournir une paire de régions de liaison latérales (SBR), une étape de découpe (S30) consistant à découper le continuum de bande (80C) sur lequel est appliqué un adhésif, une seconde étape de transport (S40) consistant à transporter une bande de taille (80) vers un continuum de corps principal (11C), et une étape de liaison (S50) consistant à relier la bande de taille (80) au continuum de corps principal (11C) par l'intermédiaire de l'adhésif.
