An absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin (2) is provided which takes the form of a cup as a whole, forms upwardly extending cuffs on both sides of the longitudinally central portion thereof, and yet produces fully satisfactory feeling when worn, and which can be manufactured for a low cost. A manufacturing process for producing such an absorbent article easily and inexpensively is also provided. An absorbent article comprises a top sheet (4), a back sheet (6), and a core (8) disposed intermediate the top sheet (4) and the back sheet (6). It also has elastic pieces (20) joined to the top sheet (4) or the back sheet (6) in an elastically elongated state. The elastic pieces (20) are formed from a plastic film shaped at least partially into a non-planar configuration by machining. |
