Claims (10)

An absorbent article is continuously formed from an absorbent article continuum including a plurality of absorbent articles and a skin contact layer, a clothing contact layer, and a trim portion to be cut, which includes a powder layer therebetween. A method of manufacturing comprising:
Next steps,
Preparing the absorbent article continuum;
A step of cutting the absorbent article continuum while compressing a peripheral region of the boundary line at a boundary line defining the absorbent article and the trim part, and separating the absorbent article and the trim part. And removing the trim part,
Said method.   The method according to claim 1, wherein the trim portion has an adhesive application region where an adhesive is applied between the skin contact layer and the clothing contact layer.   The trim part has an overlapping area where the powder layer and the peripheral area overlap in the thickness direction of the trim part, and the trim part has the adhesive coating area in the overlapping area. 2. The method according to 2.   Before the separating step, embossing the absorbent article and the trim part along at least a part of the boundary line in the thickness direction thereof, and forming an embossed part in the embossed part. Item 4. The method according to any one of Items 1 to 3.   In the step of forming the embossed portion, a low embossed portion and a high embossed portion embossed more strongly than the low embossed portion on the absorbent article and the trim portion along at least a part of the boundary line. The method according to claim 4, wherein the embossed portion is provided.   The step of forming the embossed portion passes the absorbent article and the trim portion through an embossing device including an embossing roll and an anvil roll while conveying the absorbent article continuum in a predetermined conveying direction. The method according to claim 4 or 5, wherein a portion of the boundary line where the embossed portion is formed extends in a direction not orthogonal to the transport direction.   In the step of forming the embossed portion, the length of the absorbent article and the trim portion in the orthogonal direction perpendicular to the transport direction of the embossed portion is constant along at least part of the boundary line. The method of claim 6, wherein the embossing is in the thickness direction. In the step of separating, the boundary between the absorbent article and the trim portion is passed through a cutting device including a cutter roll and an anvil roll while the absorbent article continuum is conveyed in a predetermined conveyance direction. The trim portion has an overlapping region where the powder layer and the peripheral region overlap in the thickness direction of the trim portion, and the trim portion has the adhesive coating region, The method according to any one of claims 5 to 7, wherein a boundary line portion included in the overlapping region and existing in the overlapping region of the boundary line extends in a direction not orthogonal to the transport direction.   9. The step of removing the trim portion, the trim portion is removed by being sucked by a suction device, and the surface to be sucked of the trim portion is formed of a film. The method according to item.   The absorbent article continuum has a longitudinal direction and a width direction, and includes a plurality of absorbent article main body parts and a flap part extending from the absorbent article main body part to the outer side in the width direction of the absorbent article. Absorbent articles are arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and before the separating step, the absorbent article continuum extends in the direction in which the absorbent article continuous body extends in the material constituting the trim part and the flap part. The method according to claim 1, further comprising forming the powder layer continuous from the trim portion to the flap portion by continuously applying a body.
