Patent Summary
A method for manufacturing an absorbent article, such as a disposable diaper, that prevents loss of stretchability in the lateral direction of the absorbent core. The method involves arranging elastic members in a stretched state between facing surfaces of a first sheet-like member, and forming joining portions between the elastic members and the first sheet-like member. The joining portions are spaced in both the direction of transport and the cross-direction, preventing the elastic members from contracting into the absorbent core during cutting.
