An absorbent article having a substantially oblong shape and comprising a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, and a liquid retentive absorbent member interposed between the topsheet and the backsheet is disclosed. The topsheet is a bulky sheet which exhibits elastomeric behavior as a whole and comprises a first layer disposed on the side of a wearer and a second layer disposed on the side of the absorbent member. The first layer and the second layer are partially bonded together at joints in a prescribed pattern. The first layer has protrusions on the side of a wearer in portions other than the joints. The second layer is made of a material exhibiting elastomeric behavior. The topsheet is fixed in an extended state in at least one of the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the absorbent article. <IMAGE> |
