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 longitudinaldirection perpendicular to the lateral direction and placed in the longitudinaldirection, and the absorptive article (1) also has a stretchable chassis (3)having leg portions (3a) provided on both sides in the lateral direction so asto be recessed inward in the lateral direction. The entire portion or a portion ofthe chassis (3) is constructed from a composite sheet (13) formed by adhering toeach other a stretchable sheet (15) and a non-stretchable sheet (16) by using adhesionsections (18). Each leg portion (3a) has an intersection portion intersecting withthe 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.
