This absorbent article (1) has an absorbent body (10) a ventral strip member (30a) and a dorsal strip member (30b). Leg surrounding elastic members (17) are arranged in the absorbent body (10) along the longitudinal direction and laterally outwards from an absorbent core (11). Dorsal strip elastic members (35b) that intersect with a part of the leg surrounding elastic members (17) are arranged in the dorsal strip member (30b) along the lateral direction. Ventral strip elastic members (35a) that intersect with a part of the leg surrounding elastic members (17) are arranged in the ventral strip member (30a) along the lateral direction. The length (Lb) in the longitudinal direction of a region in which a stretched section of the leg surrounding elastic members (17) intersects with the dorsal strip elastic members (35b) is longer than the length (La) in the longitudinal direction of a region in which a stretched section of the leg surrounding elastic members (17) intersects with the ventral strip elastic members (35a).
