An absorptive article that has a seal section located at the peripheral edge of the article, and the seal section is flexible, has a good texture, and is less likely to allow a leakage of liquid. Pressure bonded sections (51) are formed at the seal section (50) formed along the outer peripheral edge of the absorptive article (1). The pressure bonded sections (51) each have a first pressure bonded section (53) and a second pressure bonded section (54) adjacent in a second direction to the first pressure bonded section (53). The first and second pressure bonded sections (53, 54) are formed so that their lengths in a first direction (X) are greater than their lengths in the second direction (Y). Also, the.first and second pressure bonded sections (53, 54) are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to the outer peripheral edge of the absorptive article (1). Further, the second pressure bonded section (54) is placed so as to intersect with a straight line extending in the second direction (Y) from one end in the first direction (X) of the first pressure bonded section (53) but not to intersect with a straight line extending in the second direction from the other end in the first direction (X) of the first pressure bonded section (53). That is, the first and second pressure boded sections (53, 54) are arranged in a zigzag pattern.
