To provide an absorbent article which can easily fit an absorbent body to a body of a wearer, by an elastic member arranged on a non-skin facing surface of an absorbent body.SOLUTION: An absorbent article (10) comprises an absorbent body (40), an exterior body (15) arranged on a front girth region, and an elastic member (65) arranged on the exterior body and capable of extending and shrinking in a width direction. An outer end part of the absorbent body in a cross direction has a body non-junction region in which the absorbent body and the exterior body are not jointed. The elastic member has a first elastic part (61) arranged in an overlapped state to the body non-junction region in a thickness direction, and on an outer end part, contractive force of the body non-junction region in a width direction is higher than that on an adjacent region in a width direction, the adjacent region extending outward of a cross direction from an outer end edge of the body non-junction region.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3【課題】吸収性本体の非肌対向面側に配置された弾性部材によって吸収性本体を身体にフィットさせ易い吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】吸収性物品（１０）は、吸収性本体（４０）と、前胴回り域に配置された外装体（１５）と、外装体に配置された幅方向に伸縮可能な弾性部材（６５）と、を有する。吸収性本体の前後方向の外端部には、吸収性本体と外装体が接合されていない本体非接合領域が設けられている。弾性部材は、厚さ方向において本体非接合領域に重なって配置された第１弾性部（６１）を有し、外端部において、本体非接合領域の幅方向の収縮力は、本体非接合領域の外端縁から前後方向の外側に延びる隣接領域の幅方向の収縮力よりも高い。【選択図】図３
