The absorbent articles (20) that are continuous in the longitudinal and transverse directions include the anterior elastic belt region (84), the posterior elastic belt region (86), the crotch region (30), the waist opening, and the two legs. The central chassis (38) includes an opening and the absorbent article (20) includes an absorbent core (62) extending longitudinally from the anterior elastic belt region (84) to the posterior elastic belt region (86). The anterior elastic belt region (84) has an anterior absorbent core rigid edge (52SE), and the distance from the distal edge (88) to the anterior absorbent core rigid edge (52SE) is length. Demarcating L2, where L2 is about 77 mm or less, the anterior elastic belt region (84) is divided into three zones extending in the transverse direction and defined by its position from the distal edge (88). , 0-50% of L2 is Zone 1, 50-100% of L2 is Zone 2, and the rest of the anterior elastic belt region (84) is Zone 3, according to the measurements herein. Has a vertical stiffness Z1, a zone 2 has a vertical stiffness Z2, a zone 3 has a vertical stiffness Z3 and has a relationship of Z1 ≤ Z2 ≤ Z3, and the article (20) is described herein. It has a peripheral force at extension and a total circumference according to the measured values of, and the ratio of the peripheral force at extension to the total circumference is less than about 0.01 (N / mm).長手方向及び横断方向に連続的な吸収性物品（２０）は、前側弾性ベルト領域（８４）、後側弾性ベルト領域（８６）、股部領域（３０）、腰部開口部、及び２つの脚部開口部を含み、本吸収性物品（２０）は、前側弾性ベルト領域（８４）から後側弾性ベルト領域（８６）まで長手方向に延在する吸収性コア（６２）を含む中央シャーシ（３８）を更に含み、前側弾性ベルト領域（８４）は前側吸収性コア剛性縁部（５２ＳＥ）を有し、遠位縁部（８８）から前側吸収性コア剛性縁部（５２ＳＥ）までの距離は長さＬ２を画定し、Ｌ２は約７７ｍｍ以下であり、前側弾性ベルト領域（８４）は、横断方向に延在し且つ遠位縁部（８８）からのその位置により画定される３つのゾーンに分割され、Ｌ２の０～５０％はゾーン１であり、Ｌ２の５０～１００％はゾーン２であり且つ前側弾性ベルト領域（８４）の残部はゾーン３であり、本明細書の測定値に従って、ゾーン１は垂直剛度Ｚ１を有し、ゾーン２は垂直剛度Ｚ２を有し、またゾーン３は垂直剛度Ｚ３を有し且つＺ１≦Ｚ２≦Ｚ３の関係を有し、本物品（２０）は、本明細書の測定値に従った伸張時周囲力及び全周長を有し、伸張時周囲力と全周長との比が、約０．０１（Ｎ／ｍｍ）未満である。
