This underpants-type absorbent article comprises an absorbent main body, an exterior body, and a pair of side joining parts. The pair of side joining parts join an abdomen-side region and a back-side region of the exterior body at a horizontal-direction lateral edge orthogonal to the vertical direction. The side joining parts have a waist-end region and a leg-end region, and a plurality of seal rows formed by a plurality of seal parts arrayed separated along the vertical direction, the seal rows being separated from each other in the horizontal direction and disposed in at least one end region. The seal parts positioned on the inner side in the horizontal direction have a lower seal strength than the seal parts positioned on the outer side in the horizontal direction.
