An absorbent article is improved to restrict a possibility that through-hole(s) formed in a separate sheet 3 might have width dimension(s) narrowed as the separate sheet is spaced from a liquid-absorbent structure 10. Outside of opposite lateral regions 30, 31 as viewed in a transverse direction X of the separate sheet, first front and rear elasticized regions 43, 44 are formed by front and rear waist elastic members 20, 21. Each of these first front and rear elasticized regions is paired so as to be spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction and between respective pairs of first front and rear elasticized regions, front and rear non-elasticized regions 45, 46 free from any influence by the contractile force of the front and rear waist elastic members. The sub-regions of the front and rear waist regions unoccupied by a liquid-absorbent structure 10 are provided with the front and rear waist elastic members attached thereto under tension so as to extend in the transverse direction between respective pairs of opposite side edges 14, 14 and 15, 15. Outside front and rear ends 27, 28 of the separate sheet 3 as viewed in a longitudinal direction Y, respectively, second front and rear elasticized regions 47, 48 are formed.
