PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorptive article which excellently develops a fitting improving effect of a crotch caused by slits in a longitudinal direction even when the article becomes prone to be folded, and which obtains excellent fitting and leakage prevention property as a result.SOLUTION: The absorptive article 1 includes a fluid-permeable surface sheet 2, a fluid-impermeable or poorly fluid-permeable back surface sheet 3 and a fluid-retentive absorptive core 40 positioned between both sheets, and further includes a back side part B, an abdominal side part A and a crotch part C positioned between them, and is folded into two or three in the longitudinal direction. The absorptive core 40 includes a plurality of through or non-through slits 70 which are each formed so as to extend in the longitudinal direction (direction Y). The slits 70 are not connected with each other at least at the crotch part C, and have wide parts 71A-71C of a wide slit width which are provided on positions different from folding positions 10 of folding into two or three.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】折り癖がついていても長手方向のスリットによる股下のフィット性向上効果が良好に発現して、優れたフィット性や漏れ防止性が得られる吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】液透過性の表面シート2、液不透過性又は液難透過性の裏面シート3、及び両シート間に位置する液保持性の吸収性コア40を備え、背側部Bと腹側部Aとその間に位置する股下部Cとを有する吸収性物品1であって、長手方向に2つ折り又は3つ折りにされており、吸収性コア40には、複数本の貫通又は非貫通のスリット70が、それぞれ長手方向(Y方向)に延びて形成されており、スリット70は、少なくとも股下部Cにおいて互いに連設されておらず、且つ、前記2つ折り又は3つ折りの折り位置10と異なる位置にスリット幅の広い幅広部71A~71Cを有する。【選択図】図1
