Absorbent article

An absorbent article having a vertical direction and a lateral direction intersecting the vertical direction, the absorbent article comprising:

• an absorbent main body provided along the vertical direction and configured to absorb excreta;
• an abdominal-side band member provided along the lateral direction, the abdominal-side band member having a central portion in the lateral direction fixed to one end part of the absorbent main body in the vertical direction, while covering the one end part from a non-skin side of the absorbent main body;
• and
• a back-side band member provided along the lateral direction as a member different from the abdominal-side band member, the back-side band member having a central portion in the lateral direction fixed to an other end part of the absorbent main body in the vertical direction, while covering the other end part from the non-skin side of the absorbent main body,
• wherein
• the back-side band member has a length in the vertical direction longer than a length of the abdominal-side band member in the vertical direction,
• each of the abdominal-side band member and the back-side band member has an elastic member disposed thereto along the lateral direction, the elastic member being configured to expand and contract along the lateral direction,
• the abdominal-side band member and the absorbent main body overlap each other at an abdominal-side overlap portion, the abdominal-side overlap portion including at least a part where the elastic member of the abdominal-side band member is disconnected,
• the back-side band member has a substantially rectangular shape in a plan view,
• the absorbent main body includes an absorbent core including a liquid absorbent material stacked in a predetermined thickness,
• the central portion of the abdominal-side band member has a first area where the absorbent core is not disposed,
• the first area overlapping with the absorbent main body,
• the first area including at least the part where the elastic member is disconnected,
• the central portion of the abdominal-side band member has a second area where the absorbent core is disposed,
• the second area overlapping with the absorbent main body,
• the second area including at least the part where the elastic member is disconnected,
• the central portion of the abdominal-side band member has a third area not overlapping with the absorbent main body, the third area being in a region where the elastic member is disposed in a state stretched over between one end side and an other end side thereof in the lateral direction,
• the first area is between the second and third areas, and
• in a state that the absorbent main body is two-folded at a central part thereof in the vertical direction and side-edge parts of the abdominal-side band member in the lateral direction are coupled to side-edge parts of the back-side band member in the lateral direction, respectively, an upper end of the abdominal-side band member in the vertical direction is different in position in the vertical direction from an upper end of the back-side band member in the vertical direction.
