An absorbent article ( 1 ) having a liquid-retentive absorbing layer ( 2 ), a liquid-impermeable leakproof layer ( 3 ), and standing gathers ( 4 ) on each side. The gathers have an elastically extensible portion ( 40 ) coming into planar contact with the wearer's skin while worn. The elastically extensible portion ( 40 ) is made of a sheet ( 44 ) and at least one elastic member ( 45 ), the elastic member ( 45 ) being fixed to the sheet ( 44 ) discretely in the longitudinal direction in its stretched state, and the parts of the sheet where the elastic member ( 45 ) is not fixed are raised by contraction of the elastic member ( 45 ) to form a plurality of hollow ridges ( 43 ) on the side of the elastically extensible portion ( 40 ) to be brought into contact with the wearer's skin.
