Provided is a method for manufacturing an absorbent article, having: a step for setting a cutting location (CL) as a lower band-shaped member (15) is fed in a feed direction, depositing an adhesive in a first area that includes the cutting location (CL) and has a prescribed width in the feed direction, and forming an adhesive area (HMA)； a step in which elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) that are stretched in the feed direction are arranged so that portions of the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) overlap the adhesive area (HMA)； a step for superimposing the lower band-shaped member (15) and an upper band-shaped member (17) so as to sandwich the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L), and bonding the members in the adhesive area (HMA)； a step for folding the lower band-shaped member (15) and the upper band-shaped member (17) in a central portion in an intersecting direction； a step in which welding portions (sl) for welding the lower band-shaped member (15) and the upper band-shaped member (17) are formed in a second area that is provided on both feed-wise sides of the first area and has a prescribed width in the feed direction； and a step for cutting the lower band-shaped member (15), the upper band-shaped member (17), and the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) together at the cutting location (CL), and separating off the underwear-shaped lower band-shaped member (15) and upper band-shaped member (17).L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un article absorbant, comportant : une étape pour régler un emplacement de coupe (CL) sous la forme d'un élément inférieur en forme de bande (15), qui est acheminé dans une direction d'alimentation, déposer un adhésif dans une première zone qui comprend l'emplacement de coupe (CL) et a une largeur prescrite dans la direction d'alimentation, et former une zone adhésive (HMA) ； une étape dans laquelle des éléments élastiques (8B, 8F, 8L), qui sont étirés dans la direction d'alimentation, sont agencés de telle sorte que des parties des éléments élas
