An individually-packaged absorbent article, comprising: an absorbent article including a body that includes a permeable upper-side sheet , an impermeable back-side sheet , and an absorbent disposed between the upper-side sheet and the back-side sheet ; and a packaging sheet that individually packages the absorbent article , wherein the body has a shape having a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction and a predetermined width in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; the absorbent article includes a hip-hold portion that includes a side area protruding from a rear side-edge of the body , the side area including a first protruding portion that includes a portion having a largest width from a longitudinal centerline (CL) of the body , a first recessed portion adjacent to a rear end of the first protruding portion , and a second recessed portion adjacent to a front end of the first protruding portion ; the side area of the hip-hold portion (H) is folded along a longitudinal fold line extending in the longitudinal direction and a mountain fold line (Y) is formed in the side area of the hip-hold portion (H) by folding the absorbent article such that an upper side of the absorbent article protrudes upward to form a mountain-like shape; and the mountain fold line (Y) intersects with an edge of the side area of the hip-hold portion (H) at a positon between a first inflection point between the first recessed portion and the first protruding portion and a second inflection point between the first protruding portion and the second recessed portion , and is orthogonal ± 15 degrees or less to the longitudinal centerline (CL). an absorbent article including a body that includes a permeable upper-side sheet , an impermeable back-side sheet , and an absorbent disposed between the upper-side sheet and the back-side sheet ; and a packaging sheet that individually packages the absorbent article , wherein the body has a shape having a predetermined length in a longitudinal direction and a predetermined width in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction; the absorbent article includes a hip-hold portion that includes a side area protruding from a rear side-edge of the body , the side area including a first protruding portion that includes a portion having a largest width from a longitudinal centerline (CL) of the body , a first recessed portion adjacent to a rear end of the first protruding portion , and a second recessed portion adjacent to a front end of the first protruding portion ; the side area of the hip-hold portion (H) is folded along a longitudinal fold line extending in the longitudinal direction and a mountain fold line (Y) is formed in the side area of the hip-hold portion (H) by folding the absorbent article such that an upper side of the absorbent article protrudes upward to form a mountain-like shape; and the mountain fold line (Y) intersects with an edge of the side area of the hip-hold portion (H) at a positon between a first inflection point between the first recessed portion and the first protruding portion and a second inflection point between the first protruding portion and the second recessed portion , and is orthogonal ± 15 degrees or less to the longitudinal centerline (CL). <EOS>
