Abstract: A method of manufacturing an underpants-type absorbent article having an outer body provided with a mutually separate front piece, back piece and connecting sheet, and wherein the front piece and the back piece are mutually joined at side areas and are mutually connected by the connecting sheet extending in the front-to-rear direction at the crotch area, and an inner body containing an absorptive body and which is overlapped and anchored to the connecting sheet on the inside of the outer body, comprises, in turn, transporting a continuous body of the front piece in the form of a front piece web and a continuous body of the back piece in the form of a back piece web in a machine direction while maintaining a spacing area in a cross-machine direction, forming a continuous body of the outer body in the form of an outer body web by attaching the connecting sheet to the front piece web and the back piece web at intervals in the machine direction so as to straddle the spacing area, cutting the outer body web in ord

Abstract: An underpants-type absorbent article having an outer body provided with a mutually separate front piece, back piece and connecting sheet, and wherein the front piece and the back piece are mutually joined at side areas and are mutually connected by the connecting sheet extending in an front-to-rear direction at the crotch area, and an inner body containing an absorptive body and which is overlapped and anchored to the connecting sheet on the inside of the outer body. At least a portion of both edges in the transverse direction of the connecting sheet are positioned farther to the inside in the transverse direction than both edges in the transverse direction of the inner body in a spacing area between the front piece and the back piece.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an underpants-type absorbent article which method comprises each of the steps of transporting a continuous body of a sheet that forms a front piece or a back piece in the form of a sheet web in a machine direction, supplying a continuous elastic body to the sheet web while oscillating in a cross-machine direction, alternately positioning the continuous elastic body on the sheet web and outside the sheet web, attaching those portions of the continuous elastic body positioned on the sheet web to the sheet web, holding those portions of the continuous elastic body positioned outside the sheet web with a holder, and cutting and removing those portions of the continuous elastic body positioned outside the sheet web.
