Provided is an absorbent article (1) having a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction which crosses the longitudinal direction, and a front-rear direction which is perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction. The absorbent article (1) is provided with a laterally extending front waist section (20), a laterally extending rear waist section (30), and a crotch section (10) which is provided between the front waist section (20) and the rear waist section (30). One lateral end (20eW1) of the front waist section (20) and one lateral end (30eW1) of the rear waist section (30) are joined at a joint section (j1). The front surface, in the front-rear direction, of the front waist section (20) is provided with a male material (50) capable of engaging with a female material (40) at the other lateral end (30eW2) of the rear waist section (30). The front waist section (20) has a laterally extending elastic region (AEL) having lateral elasticity. The elastic region (AEL) does not laterally overlap the male material (50).本創作之課題係在於抑制設置在前腰圍部的公構件的卡止力降低。 用以解決課題之手段為，一種吸收性物品，係具有縱方向、與縱方向交叉之橫方向和與縱方向及橫方向交叉之前後方向的吸收性物品(1)。具備有：沿著橫方向之前腰圍部(20)；沿著橫方向之後腰圍部(30)；及設在前腰圍部(20)與後腰圍部(30)之間的胯下部(10)。前腰圍部(20)之橫方向的一方側的端部(20eW1)與後腰圍部(30)之橫方向的一方側的端部(30eW1)係以接合部(j1)接合。在前腰圍部(20)之前後方向的前側的面，設有可與後腰圍部(30)之橫方向的另一方側的端部(30eW2)的母構件(40)卡止的公構件(50)。前腰圍部(20)係沿著橫方向具有伸縮區域(AEL)，該伸縮區域具有橫方向的伸縮性。伸縮區域(AEL)係沿著橫方向的位置，未與公構件(50)重疊。
