Abstract: Absorbent articles including sanitary napkins, panty liners and incontinence pads, wherein an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is reduced from rising by the contraction force of an elastic stretchable member, and the absorption performance is improved and lateral leakage is prevented. In FIG. 5, a sanitary napkin 1 includes a side nonwoven fabric 7 that has an absorber 4 interposed between a permeable front sheet 3 and an impermeable back sheet 2 and forms a solid gather BS rising on each of both side portions on a skin side by a contraction force due to an elastic stretchable member 14.

Abstract: In an absorbent article a three-dimensional opening hole mesh sheet, having a face which faces skin of a wearer of the absorbent article and a reverse or opposite side face within the absorbent article, is combined with an absorber which includes an air-laid pulp non-woven fabric. The mesh sheet has an array of mechanically embossed concave portions forming protrusions on the skin-facing face of the mesh sheet and recesses on the reverse or opposite face, i.e., the unexposed face inside the absorbent article.

Abstract: In a conveniently usable individually packaged absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin fixing adhesive layers formed on wing-shaped flaps are covered with a wing release material extended in the width direction, the wing-shaped flaps are folded to a permeable front-surface sheet side with the wing release material, a packaging material is fixed at least to the wing release material, and the wing release material and the packaging material are fixed by a first fixing region that includes portions around folding lines of the wing-shaped flaps and is formed over the forward end positions (forward-side root positions) of the folding lines of the wing-shaped flaps in the longitudinal direction.
