An absorptive article (1) has a liquid pervious top sheet (11), a liquid impervious back sheet (12), and an absorptive body (13) placed between the sheets. A swell means (3) extending in the longitudinal direction of the article is provided between the top sheet (11) and the back sheet (12). The top sheet (11) has a first adhesion region (11a) adhered to the swell means (3), second adhesion regions (11d) adhered to the vicinities of opposite edges of the absorptive article, and a non-adhesion region (11b, 11c) located between the first adhesion region and each of the second adhesion regions. A large number of curved wrinkles, particularly oblique wrinkles lying from the first adhesion region (11a) toward the opposite edges, are formed in the non-adhesion regions (11b, 11c).
