Abstract
To provide an absorbent article capable of retaining a twofold disposal shape and making it difficult for a discarder to touch a top sheet.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 1 includes a pad body 10, and an engaging part 20 disposed on a first end 10a of an outer surface of the pad body 10 and being engageable with an outer article. The engaging part 20 is engageable with an inner surface of the pad body 10, and the pad body 10 includes, on a second end 10b thereof, a pocket sheet 30 that covers the inner surface of the pad body 10 and forms a pocket part P. The pad body 10 includes, on the first end 10a, an insertion part S, when the pad body 10 is folded in half, inserted into the pocket part P in such a state that an intermediate part thereof in a width direction W is bent inward along a longitudinal direction L, and includes, on the second end 10b, an enclosing part H, when the insertion part S is inserted into the pocket part P, bent inward along the longitudinal direction L to clamp the insertion part S, where at least a part of both sides thereof in the width direction W is engaged with the engaging part 20.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
