An apparatus 100 of the present invention for manufacturing an absorbent article which includes a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorber provided between the topsheet and the backsheet, is provided with a lower press roller 110B which presses outer edge areas 81 which correspond to outer edges of the extended portions 50 of a continuous body constituted by the plurality of continuous sheets. The lower press roller 110B is provided with a plurality of rear end protrusions 115 which protrude outward in a radial direction of the roller and press rear end inclined areas 81S which correspond to the outside-to-inside inclined areas of the outer edge areas 81. An extending direction LD2 of the rear end protrusions 115 differ from an extending direction of a rear end outline 87 extending along the shapes of rear end inclined portions 50B in the rear end inclined areas 81S.
