The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a method for manufacturing an absorbent article, the method allowing the application, at a desired position and at a high rate, of water-disintegrable microcapsules containing a volatile functional component. The manufacturing method according to the present disclosure has the following constitution. A method for manufacturing an absorbent article (1) including a liquid permeable layer (2), a liquid impermeable layer (3), and an absorbent layer (4), said method comprising: a step for forming a functional composition by mixing water-disintegrable microcapsules containing a volatile functional component with a solvent capable of keeping the functional component as contained in the microcapsules； a step for coating the functional composition on at least a portion of a surface of a layer to be coated to form a functional composition-coated region (8) on the surface to be coated； and a step for stacking the liquid permeable layer (2), and the absorbent layer (4) and the liquid impermeable layer (3) with an adhesive-coated region (9) coated with an adhesive interposed therebetween.
