<;P>;PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To favorably form side embossed parts without forming bending or wrinkles in a fluid permeable surface sheet. <;P>;SOLUTION: The absorptive article includes an absorptive element 6 set between the fluid permeable surface sheet 3 and a back sheet 2, side nonwoven fabric 7 arranged on both sides on the surface side, a plurality of embossed parts 8 formed on the fluid permeable surface sheet 3, and side embossed parts 10 formed along the length of laminated parts of the fluid permeable surface sheet 3 with the side nonwoven fabric 7. One length direction end side of the sanitary napkin 1 is set as a line downstream end to be downstream in the line flow direction in manufacturing, and the other length direction end side is set as a line upstream end to be upstream in the line flow direction in manufacturing. The side embossed parts 10 are formed of embossed recesses 11 to incline outward in the width direction from the width direction center side of the sanitary napkin 1 from the line downstream end toward the line upstream end viewed from above. <;P>;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
