[Problem] To minimize deformation of an absorbent body. [Solution] An absorbent article characterized in that: a wrapping sheet (58) in which an absorbent body (56) is wrapped comprises an intermediate part (56c) positioned on either the front or the back of the absorbent body (56) and two side parts (58s) that are folded around to the other side of the absorbent body (56) from the intermediate part (56c) the leading ends of the two side parts (58s) of the wrapping sheet (58) overlap on the other side of the absorbent body (56) and form a connecting section (58c) all of the part of the inner surface of the wrapping sheet (58) that faces the absorbent body (56) is bonded to the outer surface of the absorbent body (56) via a hot melt adhesive (H1, H2) and the amount of the hot melt adhesive (H1, H2) used to bond the wrapping sheet (58) and the absorbent body (56) is greater in at least an area (A1) on both ends of the other side of the absorbent body (56) in the width direction than on the one side of the absorbent body (56).
