PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method for efficiently manufacturing an absorbent article with excellent outer appearance where the end edges of waist panels are excellently formed.SOLUTION: The method manufactures an absorbent article having the waist panels 3. The panels 3 are expansible sheets 30 fixed in a state where string shape elastic bodies 7 are extended in an x-direction between belt shape sheets 5, 6. The method includes: a process for allowing the elastic bodies 7 to be wound between string conveyance longitudinal structure bodies 12, 13 by using an elastic body winding means 14, so as to be held by fixing between the belt shape sheets 50, 60, and forming an expansible sheet 30 by cutting the extension parts of the string shape elastic bodies 7; a division process for cutting the belt shape sheets 50, 60 at center parts; and a process for exchanging the positions of the two expansible sheets obtained by cutting, forming the waist panels 3 by cutting, joining the waist panels 3 to an absorbent body 2 so as to allow cutting edges 91 to be directed and extended outward in the x-direction of a diaper 1, and then, forming the diaper 1. |
