IN THE DISCLOSED ABSORBENT ARTICLE (1), IN A FIRST REGION (X), A FIRST ELASTIC MEMBER (100) EXTENDS LINEARLY IN THE WIDTHWISE DIRECTION (W), IN A SECOND REGION (Y), A SECOND ELASTIC MEMBER (91) EXTENDS LINEARLY IN THE WIDTHWISE DIRECTION. THE ELONGATION STRESS OF THE FIRST ELASTIC MEMBER IS GREATER THAN THE ELONGATIONAL STRESS OF THE SECOND ELASTIC MEMBER, AND THE LENGTH (W1) IN THE WIDTHWISE DIRECTION OF THE JOINING REGION (H) THAT IS OF BOTH THE MAIN BODY OF AN ABSORBENT BODY (2) AND A CHASSIS (3) IN THE FIRST REGION IS CONFIGURED IN A MANNER SO AS TO BE SHORTER THAN THE LENGTH (W2) IN THE WIDTHWISE DIRECTION OF THE JOINING REGION THAT IS OF BOTH THE MAIN BODY OF THE ABSORBENT BODY AND THE CHASSIS IN THE SECOND REGION.
