Abstract:
An absorbent article includes an absorbent main body, side flaps, leakage barriers, and an elastic member joined in between the side flaps in the absorbent main body, and stretchable and shrinkable in a width direction. Each leakage barrier includes a standing portion in which an outer side in the width direction is a fixed end, and an inner side in the width direction is a free end, and a supporting portion which is adjacent to one end portion in a longitudinal direction of the standing portion and overlaps with the elastic member in a thickness direction. The supporting portion is fixed to the absorbent main body by the heat welding portion. Each side flap is folded to the inner side in the width direction at a position of a folding line which passes through the supporting portion and extends along the longitudinal direction in a plan view.

Claim (Index 1):
An absorbent article which includes a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction that are mutually orthogonal to each other, comprising:\n an absorbent main body; a pair of side flaps that extend to both outer sides in the width direction of the absorbent main body; and a pair of leakage barriers that are disposed in the absorbent main body, wherein a direction toward and a direction away from a longitudinal direction central axis of the absorbent main body in the width direction are respectively an inner side direction and an outer side direction, the absorbent article further comprising:\n an elastic member which is joined in between the pair of side flaps in the absorbent main body, and is stretchable and shrinkable in the width direction, \n wherein each of the pair of leakage barriers includes:\n a standing portion in which an outer side in the width direction is a fixed end, and an inner side in the width direction is a free end, and \n a supporting portion which is adjacent to one side in the longitudinal direction of the standing portion and overlaps with the elastic member in the thickness direction, \n the supporting portion is fixed to the absorbent main body by a heat welding portion, each of the pair of side flaps is folded to an inner side in the width direction at a position, of a folding line which passes through the supporting portion and extends along the longitudinal direction in a plan view, the elastic member includes a highly stretching portion which is positioned in a center in the width direction, and a pair of less stretching portions which are positioned on both sides in the width direction and stretch less than the highly stretching portion, and the folding line overlaps with the highly stretching portion in the thickness direction.
