A pair 5 of side sheets (3) are located on both side portions of an absorbent sheet member (20) having an opening (25). Both absorbent cores are raised so that they should become apart from the back sheet (23) by contraction of a third elastic member (35) bonded to an inner edge (331) of a bonded part (33) of each side sheet (3). It is possible to keep the distance larger in thickness direction between the absorbent sheet member (20) and the back sheet 10 (23) in the vicinity of the opening (25) and fit a portion around the opening (25) of the absorbent sheet member (20) to a wearer.[/9. 1/6 33 26-- 331 2-- -~ 241 a 3 3 201 -21 II it 201 2022121 2035 22- 0 2423
