Method for manufacturing absorbent article

The invention provides a method for manufacturing an absorbent article to convey an absorbent article while folding a part of an absorber without folding a folding line. A method for manufacturing an absorbent article includes a folding step of sequentially conveying an absorbent article (1) in a conveying direction while sequentially folding a folding region (1b) on an outer side in a transverse direction of the absorbent article (1) onto a non-folding region (1a) on an inner side in the transverse direction. In the absorbent article, the absorbent body (4) straddles the folding region and the non-folding region, and the non-folding region is placed on the conveying surface (101a0) and conveyed. The folding step includes a step of folding up the folding region with respect to the non-folding region by the raising member (103) which rises with respect to the conveying surface toward the downstream side in the conveying direction and the surface in contact with the folding region is flat or convex, thereby for
