Abstract
An absorbent article () of the present invention includes a leg cuff (). The leg cuff () has leg elastic members (). The leg cuff () can be divided, by an imaginary line (IL) passing through the center (ct) between an outermost leg elastic member () that is located farthest outward and an innermost leg elastic member () that is located farthest inward, into a leg cuff first region (ST) that extends from the imaginary line (IL) up to and including the outermost leg elastic member () and a leg cuff second region (IT) that extends from the imaginary line (IL) up to and including the innermost leg elastic member (). When the elongation amount of the leg cuff first region (ST) and the leg cuff second region (IT) in a natural state is defined as 0, and the elongation amount thereof in a maximally stretched state is defined as 100, the stress in the leg cuff first region (ST) is greater than the stress in the leg cuff second region (IT) when the elongation amount is 5. Moreover, the stress in the leg cuff second region (IT) is greater than the stress in the leg cuff first region (ST) when the elongation amount is 100.
