An apparatus for manufacturing an absorbent article, the absorbent article including an absorbent core and a sheet whereon the absorbent core is placed, including: (A) a transportation section transporting in a transport direction the sheet whereon the absorbent core is placed； and (B) a bending section bending the sheet, in an intersecting direction that intersects the transport direction, while the transportation section is transporting the sheet, (C) a first part of the sheet, positioned in a bending point where the bending section bends in the intersecting direction the sheet, is distant in the intersecting direction from the absorbent core, (D) a second part of the sheet positioned on an opposite side of the first part from the absorbent core, in the intersecting direction, collapses onto a third part positioned on the absorbent core side from the first part, in the intersecting direction, by the bending section bending the sheet at the bending point, (E) the bending section further including a regulation section regulating an approach of the first part to the absorbent core, in the intersecting direction, when the bending section is bending the sheet.用來製造具有吸收性芯材、和載承有該吸收性芯材的薄片之吸收性物品的吸收性物品製造裝置，具備有：(A)將載承有吸收性芯材之薄片朝搬送方向搬送的搬送部；(B)在搬送部搬送薄片的期間，將薄片朝與搬送方向交叉的交叉方向之折彎的折彎部，(C)薄片中，在交叉方向上位於折彎部將薄片時的折彎部位之第1部分是在交叉方向上與吸收性芯材分離，(D)以薄片中在交叉方向上位於比起第1部分更靠吸收性芯材相反側之第2部分是在交叉方向上傾倒於比起第1部分更靠近吸收性芯材側之第3部分上的方式，折彎部將薄片折彎，(E)進一步具有當折彎部將薄片折彎時，限制第1部分在交叉方向上接近吸收性芯材之限制部。
