Provided is an absorbent article in which an absorbent body is easily attached to the body by an elastic member disposed on a non-skin opposing surface side of the absorbent body. The absorbent article (10) has an absorbent main body (40), an outer casing (15) disposed in the front waist region, and an elastic member (65) disposed on the outer casing to expand and contract in the widthwise direction. A body non-joining region where the absorbent body and the exterior body are not joined is provided at an outer end portion of the absorbent body in the front-rear direction. The elastic member has a first elastic portion (61) disposed to overlap with the body non-joining region in the thickness direction, and at the outer end portion, the contraction force in the width direction of the body non-joining region is longer than the outer end edge from the non-joining region of the body The contraction force in the width direction of the adjacent region in which the outer side of the direction extends is higher.提供一種藉由配置在吸收性本體的非肌膚對置面側的彈性構件使吸收性本體容易和身體貼合的吸收性物品。吸收性物品(10)具有：吸收性本體(40)、配置在前腰圍域的外裝體(15)、以及配置在外裝體可在寬邊方向伸縮的彈性構件(65)。在吸收性本體的前後方向的外端部設有沒有接合吸收性本體與外裝體的本體非接合區域。彈性構件具有在厚度方向和本體非接合區域重疊被配置的第1彈性部(61)，在外端部，本體非接合區域的寬邊方向的收縮力比從本體非接合區域的外端緣朝前後方向的外側延伸的鄰接區域的寬邊方向的收縮力更高。
