PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article excellent in the pull prevention although a gusset formed in an exterior body extends straight in the longitudinal direction and is excellent in appearance and air permeability.SOLUTION: When a stretchable area is to be formed, an adhesive 71 is applied in a common longitudinal pattern intermittent in an MD direction, while an inner layer 21 and an outer layer 22 is transferred in an MD direction to both the outer face of the inner layer 21 and the inner face of the outer layer 22. After the applications, while the inner layer 21 and the outer layer 22 is so adhered that the MD direction positions of the adhesive agent 71 of the inner layer 21 and the adhesive agent 71 of the outer layer 22 may be aligned, an elastic stretchable member 19 is continuously sandwiched between the inner layer 21 and the outer layer 22 in the MD direction and the elastic stretchable member 19 is fixed on the inner layer 21 and the outer layer 22 by the adhesive 71. The aforementioned object is solved by the manufacturing method of the underpants type disposable diaper.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 13COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】外装体に形成される襞が縦方向に真直ぐに延び、見栄え、通気性に優れるものでありながら、弾性伸縮部材の引き込み防止性にも優れるようにする。【解決手段】上記課題は、伸縮領域を形成するにあたり、内側層21及び外側層22をMD方向に移送しつつ、内側層21の外面及び外側層22の内面の両方に、MD方向に間欠的となる同一の縦縞状パターンで接着剤71をそれぞれ塗布した後、内側層21の接着剤71のMD方向位置及び外側層22の接着剤71のMD方向位置が合わさるように内側層21及び外側層22を貼り合わせつつ、内側層21及び外側層22間にMD方向に沿って連続的に弾性伸縮部材19を挟み、接着剤71により弾性伸縮部材19を内側層21及び外側層22に固定する、ことを特徴とするパンツタイプ使い捨ておむつの製造方法により解決される。【選択図】図13
