<;P>;PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a three-dimensional gather from falling down, improve its fit, and also prevent a leakage or exudation by quickly inducing a body fluid into an absorber without making the body fluid flow in a longitudinal direction of an absorbent article in the three-dimensional gather. <;P>;SOLUTION: A sanitary napkin 1 includes the absorber 4 provided between a liquid-permeable top sheet 3 and a back sheet 2, and the three-dimensional gather BS provided on both sides of the upper surface thereof, respectively. The three-dimensional gather BS stands up by first elastic members 20 and 21 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the napkin 1, and standing rib parts 10 internally standing at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the napkin 1 by a plurality of second elastic members 9 arranged at a predetermined angle to an almost width/width direction of the napkin 1 at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the napkin 1. <;P>;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
