The disclosed worn article (1) has a chassis (100) and an absorbent body (200). The worn article (1) has: a central elastic member (41C) that overlaps the non-skin-side surface of the absorbent body in the crotch region (120) and that is disposed in a manner so as to extend along the lengthwise direction (L) in the approximate center in the widthwise direction (W) and a leg-posterior elastic member (24R) that arcs from the side edges (111R) of a posterior torso-surrounding region (110R) and that configures at least a portion of an expansion/contraction stress line (310) that traverses the absorbent body along the widthwise direction (W). Of the expansion/contraction stress line (310), the expansion/contraction stress at the portion that traverses the absorbent body is less than the expansion/contraction stress of the central elastic member (41C).
