An elongated absorbent article, comprising: a surface layer having an at least partly liquid-permeable surface sheet; a back layer having a liquid-impermeable back sheet; an absorbent layer having a liquid-retainable absorbent body arranged between these; and a pair of gathers which are formed to be separated from each other in both sides along a longitudinal direction in the surface layer, and which are configured to have a hollow portion by a sheet member, a three-dimensional-shaped portion which is convex on a skin contacting side of the absorbent article, formed with the sheet member of each of the pair of gathers, configuring the hollow portion, a connecting portion which joins the three-dimensional-shaped portion to the surface layer and/or the back layer, and is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, wherein the connecting portion includes a first connecting end which forms an end inward in a width direction in the three-dimensional-shaped portion, and a second connecting end which forms an end outward in the width direction in the three-dimensional-shaped portion, and wherein, in the three-dimensional-shaped portion, a ratio (L1/L2) of a length L1 from the first connecting end to the second connecting end and a distance between the connecting ends, which is a distance between the first connecting end and the second connecting end, is not less than 2, characterized in that: the distance (L2b) between the connecting ends at a side of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is greater than the distance (L2a) between the connecting ends in a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. a surface layer having an at least partly liquid-permeable surface sheet; a back layer having a liquid-impermeable back sheet; an absorbent layer having a liquid-retainable absorbent body arranged between these; and a pair of gathers which are formed to be separated from each other in both sides along a longitudinal direction in the surface layer, and which are configured to have a hollow portion by a sheet member, a three-dimensional-shaped portion which is convex on a skin contacting side of the absorbent article, formed with the sheet member of each of the pair of gathers, configuring the hollow portion, a connecting portion which joins the three-dimensional-shaped portion to the surface layer and/or the back layer, and is formed to extend in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, wherein the connecting portion includes a first connecting end which forms an end inward in a width direction in the three-dimensional-shaped portion, and a second connecting end which forms an end outward in the width direction in the three-dimensional-shaped portion, and wherein, in the three-dimensional-shaped portion, a ratio (L1/L2) of a length L1 from the first connecting end to the second connecting end and a distance between the connecting ends, which is a distance between the first connecting end and the second connecting end, is not less than 2, characterized in that: the distance (L2b) between the connecting ends at a side of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is greater than the distance (L2a) between the connecting ends in a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article. the distance (L2b) between the connecting ends at a side of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is greater than the distance (L2a) between the connecting ends in a central portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article.
