Abstract
An absorbent article includes an absorbent element obtained by wrapping an absorbent body in a wrapping sheet. The wrapping sheet includes an intermediate part located on one side of a front side and a back side of the absorbent body and both side parts folded back to the other side of the absorbent body from the intermediate part. The both side parts are overlapped with each other on the other side of the absorbent body. An overlapped part is bonded through a hot melt adhesive to form a connecting portion. A surface of the absorbent body on a side of the connecting portion is bonded to an internal surface of the wrapping sheet through hot melt adhesives, and the connecting portion of the wrapping sheet extends in a width direction to extend over both widthwise sides of a slit provided in the absorbent body.
