Provided are an absorptive article which has a high fitness on a wearer and whichsuppresses the positional displacement of an absorbing structure, and a manufacturingmethod for the absorptive article. The absorptive article comprises the absorbingstructure (2), a chassis, to which the absorbing structure (2) is to be jointed,and first elastic members (6) attached in elongation to the chassis, while crossingan absorbing structure region (4) in a body crossing direction, and extendinglinearly to the two sides of the absorbing structure (2). The chassis is made substantiallyinextensible, and the elongations of the first elastic members (6) are low inthe absorbing structure region (4) and in first side regions (5a) individuallyadjacent to the two outer sides of the absorbing structure region (4) and varycontinuously, while being kept higher than that of the first side regions (5a),as they go apart from the individual first side regions (5a) to the individualside edges (15) of the chassis. In the method for manufacturing the absorptivearticle, the first elastic members (6) are fed at such a rate to the chassis fedat a constant rate as is periodically varied, and are jointed to the chassis.
