Abstract
An absorbent article that realizes favorable erection of gathers and excels in transversal leakage preventing effects. There is disclosed a vertically long absorbent article comprising a surface layer with surface sheet (), a backside layer with backside sheet (), an absorbent layer with absorbent body () interposed therebetween and a pair of gathers () formed of a sheetlike member () so as to have a hollow on both the side areas of the surface layer in the longitudinal direction thereof. The pair of gathers () in the state of having a three-dimensional configuration part () wherein the sheetlike member () makes a convex on the external surface side of the absorbent article in the thickness direction thereof are joined to the surface layer and/or backside layer by a junction portion () provided so as to extend in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. The three-dimensional configuration part () is provided so as to construct a hollow. The junction portion () includes a first junction edge portion () defining the edge portion of the three-dimensional configuration part () on the inward side in the width direction thereof and a second junction edge portion () defining the edge portion of the three-dimensional configuration part () on the outward side in the width direction thereof. Providing that Lrefers to the length of the three-dimensional configuration part () from the first junction edge portion () to the second junction edge portion () and Lrefers to the inter-junction-edge-portion distance being the distance between the first junction edge portion () and the second junction edge portion (), the ratio thereof, L/Lis 2 or greater.
