An absorptive article less likely to have a bend at a leg portion. The absorptive article (1) has an elongate absorption member (2) having a lateral direction and a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the lateral direction and placed in the longitudinal direction, and the absorptive article (1) also has a stretchable chassis (3) having leg portions (3a) provided on both sides in the lateral direction so as to be recessed inward in the lateral direction. The entire portion or a portion of the chassis (3) is constructed from a composite sheet (13) formed by adhering to each other a stretchable sheet (15) and a non-stretchable sheet (16) by using adhesion sections (18). Each leg portion (3a) has an intersection portion intersecting with the stretch direction of the chassis (3) at a predetermined angle. The adhesion sections (18) are formed so as to extend in the intersection portion at predetermined intervals, extending in the direction substantially perpendicular to the stretch direction.
