[Problem] To achieve a softer sense of touch of a product in an unstretched state.[Solution] A stretchable structure of an absorbent article includes two sheet layers 12S and 12H that extend in a stretchable direction and an orthogonal direction orthogonal to the stretchable direction； and elongated resilient and elastic members 19 that are disposed between the sheet layers 12S and 12H at predetermined intervals in the orthogonal direction and extend in the stretchable direction, wherein, the two ends in the stretchable direction of each of the resilient and elastic members 19 comprise fixed ends 19f fixed to the two sheet layers 12S and 12H, and the section between the fixed ends 19f comprises an free section 19m unfixed to the two sheet layers 12S and 12H, at least one sheet bonding section 20 is disposed in at least one inter-free region FA defined between the free sections 19m adjacent to each other in the orthogonal direction, the two sheet layers 12S and 12H being bonded in the at least one inter-free region FA, and the two sheet layers 12S and 12H in a contracted state conform with each other in a wave pattern in response to contraction of the resilient and elastic members 19.
