The part of the leg elastic member 52 on the second joining region 62 side is a non-joining region provided on the left and right sides of the second joining region 62 (that is, a region where the absorber 2 and the exterior sheet 4 are not joined). It overlaps with the absorber 2. Further, the front elastic member 53 and the rear elastic member 54 (that is, the waist elastic member) are provided on both the left and right sides of the first joint region 61 while avoiding the first joint region 61.
In the front part 401 of the exterior sheet 4, each of the plurality of front part elastic members 53 arranged in the vertical direction of the absorbent article 1 avoids the second joining region 62 on the front part 401 side and each front part elastic member 53. The second bonding region 62 side of the second bonding region 62 overlaps the absorber 2 in the left and right non-bonding regions of the second bonding region 62. Similarly, in the rear portion 403, each of the plurality of rear elastic members 54 arranged in the vertical direction of the absorbent article 1 avoids the second joining region 62 on the rear portion 403 side and The site | part on the 2 joining area | region 62 side has overlapped with the absorber 2 in the non-joining area | region of the left-right both sides of the said 2nd joining area | region 62.
As described above, in the absorbent article 1, the absorbent body 2 is in each of the front part 401 and the rear part 403 of the exterior sheet 4 in the two second joining regions 62 between the absorbent body 2 and the exterior sheet 4. It is joined to the lower end of the. And in the lower end part of the front part 401 and the rear part 403, a non-joining area | region (namely, area | region where the absorber 2 and the exterior sheet | seat 4 are not joined) is provided in the right-and-left both sides of the 2nd joining area | region 62. Thereby, the restriction | limiting of the exterior sheet 4 with respect to the site | part of the right-and-left both sides (namely, site | part near leg part opening 12) between the front part 401 and the back part 403 of the absorber 2 is suppressed, and the said site | part is deform | transformed easily. Thus, the peripheral length of the leg opening 12 can be increased. As a result, when the absorbent article 1 is attached, the legs can be easily inserted into the leg opening 12, and the absorbent article 1 can be easily attached.
Further, in the absorbent article 1, the absorbent body 2 is joined to the front part 401 and the rear part 403 of the exterior sheet 4 over the entire width in the two first joining regions 61 between the absorbent body 2 and the exterior sheet 4. ing. In this way, by joining the corners of the absorbent body 2 to the exterior sheet 4, it is possible to prevent the feet inserted from the trunk opening 11 from being caught by the absorbent body 2 when the absorbent article 1 is mounted. Therefore, the absorbent article 1 can be more easily attached.
Furthermore, when the corners of the absorbent body 2 are joined to the exterior sheet 4, absorption is performed on the front part 401 and the rear part 403 (scheduled sheet members) of the exterior sheet 4 when the absorbent article 1 is manufactured. It can prevent that the corner | angular part of the body 2 falls, and manufacture of the absorbent article 1 can be made easy. Further, as described above, the absorbent body 2 is also joined to the lower end portions of the front part 401 and the rear part 403 of the exterior sheet 4, so that the absorbent body 1 and the exterior sheet 4 are in front of each other when the absorbent article 1 is manufactured.

In the absorbent article 1, the outer sheet 4 avoids the second joint region 62 (that is, does not overlap the second joint region 62) by the waistline elastic members (that is, the front elastic member 53 and the rear elastic member 54). By being bonded to the outer peripheral sheet 4, it is possible to prevent the exterior sheet 4 from contracting in the second bonding region 62, and to suppress the curling of the absorbent body 2 due to contraction of the waistline elastic member. As a result, it is possible to prevent the shape and damage of the absorbent core 22 of the absorbent body 2. In addition, since a part of the waistline elastic member overlaps the absorbent body 2 on both the left and right sides of the second joining region 62, the length of the waistline elastic member can be sufficiently secured, and the absorbent article 1 is worn. Adhesiveness to a person can be sufficiently maintained. Furthermore, the waistline elastic member is joined to the exterior sheet 4 while avoiding the first joining region 61, so that the absorber 2 can be further prevented from curling due to the shrinkage of the waistline elastic member.
In addition, the leg elastic member 52 avoids the second joint region 62 and overlaps the absorbent body 2 on both the left and right sides of the second joint region 62, so that the wearer in the vicinity of the leg opening 12 of the absorbent article 1 can be used. It is possible to suppress the curling of the absorbent body 2 due to the contraction of the leg elastic member 52 while sufficiently maintaining the adhesion to the body.
