The absorptive article (1) worn on a human body has the body section (10) having a longitudinal direction as well as a lateral direction and a thickness direction that are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the absorptive article (1) also has an absorption body (20) having a liquid absorption member (22) superposed in the thickness direction on the human body side of the body section (10) and absorbing liquid. An end portion (20a) of the absorption body (20) is joined at a joint section (10g) to one end (10a) in the longitudinal direction of the body section (10), and the other end portion (20b) of the absorption body (20) is separated as a free end from the other end portion (10b) of the body section (10) and is movable. With the absorption body (20) and the body section (10) superposed on each other, the absorptive article (1) is folded at folding positions (P1, P2, P3) in the longitudinal direction of the absorptive article (1), and the folding positions (P1, P2, P3) are not located at at least an end (10r) of the free end side of the joint section (10g).
