In a sanitary towel an inside elastic member is disposed in an intermediate portion in a width direction, corresponding to a non-joint area of an upper layer side cuff surface, and when standing-up toward a skin side with an inside edge portion of a joint area as a base in a standing state, a portion between from the inside elastic member to an inside edge portion of a joint area works as a standing wall and a portion outside the inside elastic member works as a skin-abutting surface when the sanitary towel, is worn, and a portion that works as a skin-abutting surface is further outward in a towel width direction in the standing state than, in the folded state.
