A method of manufacturing an absorbent article, and an absorbent article, in the form of a pants-type diaper or a sanitary panty, starting from a flat blank which includes an elongated absorbent body enclosed between two casing sheets which at opposing front and rear end parts of the absorbent body have side parts which extend laterally beyond the body on both sides thereof. The method includes the step of folding the blank around a transverse axis so that the end edges of the side parts lie edge-to-edge. At least one folded band of flexible material is placed between each pair of front and rear side parts which lie opposite one another in the folded state of the blank, and the free ends of the bands are fastened to adjacent side parts.

A disposable, absorbent pants-type diaper includes a front-part ( ), a back-part ( ), a crotch-part ( ) between the front and back parts ( ), at least two side-closure parts ( ) which mutually join parts of the side-edges ( ) of respective front and back parts, so that the pants will present a waist opening ( ) and two leg openings ( ). The diaper pants further include an elongated absorbent pad ( ), an inner casing layer ( ), and an outer casing layer ( ). At least one of the respective front and back parts ( ) has at least one elastically stretchable region ( ). The crotch-part ( ) is essentially non-stretchable in relation to the stretchable region ( ). At least one of respective end-parts ( ) of the absorbent pad ( ) is disposed within one of the elastically stretchable regions ( ), while the center-part ( ) of the absorbent pad is disposed within the relatively non-stretchable crotch-part ( ) of the pants.
