PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make an end part of three-dimensional gathers nearly straight.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 1 includes a pair of side wall parts 32 extending in a longitudinal direction on both side parts of a body part 2. Respective side wall parts are provided with: side wall bodies 33 extending in the longitudinal direction and end part elastic members 34 bonded at end parts 333 of the side wall bodies along the longitudinal direction. The side wall bodies are provided with two end fixing parts 331 provided at both end parts in the longitudinal direction respectively and intermediate fixing parts 332 provided at intermediate positions separate in the longitudinal direction from both the end parts. At the respective end fixed parts, the side wall bodies are fixed, superimposed on the body parts in the state that they are flattened on one side in a width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. In the intermediate fixing parts, the end parts are fixed, superimposed on the body parts in the state that it is flattened on the other side in the width direction. Thus, end parts of the side wall bodies can be in a posture nearly upstanding with respect to the body part at positions between the end fixing parts and the intermediate fixing parts.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】立体ギャザーの先端部を直立に近い姿勢とする。【解決手段】吸収性物品1は、本体部2の両側部上において長手方向に延びる一対の側壁部32を備える。各側壁部は、長手方向に延びる側壁本体33と、側壁本体の先端部333において長手方向に沿って接合される先端部弾性部材34とを備える。側壁本体は、長手方向における両端部にそれぞれ設けられる2つの端固定部331と、当該両端部から長手方向に離間した中間位置に設けられる中間固定部332とを備える。各端固定部において、側壁本体が長手方向に垂直な幅方向における一方側に倒された状態で本体部に重ねて固定される。中間固定部において、先端部が幅方向における他方側に倒された状態で本体部に重ねて固定される。これにより、端固定部と中間固定部との間の位置にて、側壁本体の先端部を、本体部に対して直立に近い姿勢とすることができる。【選択図】図1
