PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article naturally fitting along the body shape on wearing it without taking the trouble to create a solid body that goes along the body shape when worn.SOLUTION: An incontinence pad 1 has a side edge outline 10 for defining outer shapes on both sides in the width direction. The side edge outline 10 is provided at least with a central part outline 13 positioned in the center in the longitudinal direction of the incontinence pad 1 and a front side outline 14 positioned on the front side to the central part outside line 13, is connected by both outlines via a front side radical change part 15 for radically changing the direction of an outline in between the central part outline 13 and the front side outline 14, which radically increases a size of the incontinence pad 1 in the width direction as it approaches a front end side in a formation area of the front side outline 14.
