<p>Provided is a method for discharging absorptive articles, the method being capable of improving the yield rate by reliably discharging only an absorptive article including a joint. This method for discharging an absorptive article (PD) includes: a step for providing a joint (P1) at which the trailing edge of a continuous web (WB) being used and the leading edge of the next continuous web (WB) are joined together; a step which, on the basis of the length of the continuous web (WB) from the joint (P1) to a cut position (P2) and also on the basis of the dimension (L1) of absorptive articles (PD) in the machine direction (MD) of the continuous web (WB), controls the timing of supply of the continuous web (WB) so that the joint (P1) is located at the center of an absorptive article (PD); and a step for separating only the absorptive article (PD) including the joint (P1) from a manufacturing line (10) and discharging the absorptive article (PD) in the middle of the manufacturing line (10).</p>
