Provided is a manufacturing method for an absorbent article, comprising: a step for establishing a cutting location (CL) while feeding a lower band-shaped member (15) in a feed direction, and depositing an adhesive to either side of the cutting location (CL) in the feed direction of the lower band-shaped member (15), forming an adhesive area (HMA)； a step for arranging elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L), while stretched in the feed direction, in such a way that portions of the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) overlap the adhesive area (HMA)； a step for superimposing an upper band-shaped member (17) onto the lower band-shaped member (15) and the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L), and effecting adhesion thereof in the adhesive area (HMA)； a step for folding the lower band-shaped member (15) and the upper band-shaped member (17) in the center portion in an intersecting direction； a step for forming welding portions (sl) for welding the lower band-shaped member (15) and the upper band-shaped member (17), at either side of the cutting location (CL) in the feed direction； and a step for cutting the lower band-shaped member (15), the upper band-shaped member (17), and the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) together at the cutting location (CL), separating off the lower band-shaped member (15) and the upper band-shaped member (17) which have been shaped into pants, and inducing contraction of the feed direction-stretched elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) towards the adhesive area (HMA) from the location where the elastic members (8B, 8F, 8L) were cut, while bringing about relative displacement thereof with respect to the lower band-shaped member (15) and the upper band-shaped member (17).L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication, pour un article absorbant, qui comprend les étapes suivantes : l'établissement d'un emplacement de coupe (CL) tout en amenant un élément inférieur en forme de bande (15) dans une direction d'alimentation, et le dépôt d'un adhésif sur chaque côté de l'emplacement de cou
