Hygienic absorbent article

A hygienic absorbent article comprising:

• a main body including a back layer and an absorbent layer having two side edges extending in a longitudinal direction of the article and laid on the back layer;
• first and second three-dimensional portions extending in the longitudinal direction of the article over the absorbent layer, the first and second three-dimensional portions being symmetrical with respect to a longitudinally extending centerline of the absorbent layer, the first and second three-dimensional portions being fixed on the main body to have fixed ends between the two side edges of the absorbent layer, each three-dimensional portion including a connecting portion which is allowed to rise from the fixed end and a skin-contacting portion which is bent outwardly from the connecting portion to have a free end located closer to a corresponding one of the side edges of the absorbent layer than the fixed end, at least an upper face of the skin-contacting portion being made of a liquid-permeable material;
• and
• elastic members provided in the first and second three-dimensional portions and extending in the longitudinal direction of the article for applying a longitudinal elastic contractive force to the first and second three-dimensional portion, whereby the first and second three-dimensional portions are raised with the free ends of the skin-contacting portions located above the main body while being anchored at the fixed ends to the main body,
• wherein the connecting portion of the first three-dimensional portion and the connecting portion of the second three-dimensional portion are bonded to each other.
