An absorbent article has a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorbent body. The absorbent body has an intermediate sheet, a first absorbent body group, a second absorbent body group, and a stretchable member having stretchability to shrink the intermediate sheet, first absorbent body group, and second absorbent body group in a transverse direction. Each of the absorbent body groups has a plurality of strip-shaped absorbent bodies that extend in a longitudinal direction. The strip-shaped absorbent bodies are disposed at predetermined intervals.

Absorbent article

A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core, first flaps and second flaps. Each of second flaps is connected to the first flap and has a section branching upward and a section extending outward. The branching section is partially elastic. The extending section is so constructed as to be liquid-absorbent on its top surface.

Disposable absorbent articles

A disposable diaper includes a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-barrier backsheet, and a liquid-absorptive core sandwiched between these two sheets. Side flaps extend from the two side edges of the core, and have elastic parts which are longitudinally stretchable. Side wings protrude from the two sides of the front and rear waist portions. Each side wing comprises a composite of a sweat-absorptive, air-permeable layer, and a liquid-barrier, air-permeable layer.
