A manufacturing method for an absorptive article according to the present invention includes: placing a continuum of the elastic members 4A and 5A in a desired layout, on at least one surface of a web 7A being transported continuously, while swinging the continuum of the elastic members 4A and 5A in a direction crossing a moving direction of the web7A feeding the web 7A on which the continuum of the elastic members 4A and 5A are placed, between a first roll 8, which is rotating in the moving direction, and a second roll 9 and pressing the continuum of the elastic members 4A and 5A, and the web 7A between the first roll 8 and the second roll 9. A recess 20 is formed in a predetermined pattern on at least an outer peripheral surface of the first roll 8, and the continuum of the elastic members 4A and 5A, and the web 7A are pressed between the first roll 8 and the second roll 9 while the continuum of the elastic members 4A and 5A placed in an area 3A corresponding to the crotch portion on one surface of the web 7A faces the recess 20 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first roll 8.
