The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel absorbent article capable of regular torsional deformation. In order to solve such a problem, a sanitary napkin (1) is provided with a liquid-permeable top sheet (2), a liquid-impermeable back sheet (3), and an absorbent body (4) disposed between the top sheet (2) and the back sheet (3), wherein, in the top sheet (2), high-rigidity areas (22) and low-rigidity areas (21) are formed in a liquid supply area (20) for receiving a supply of liquid. Substantially straight first areas, which extend in a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the sanitary napkin (1) and are arranged in a substantially parallel manner, are formed in the high-rigidity areas (22). Liquid-permeable holes (26) are formed in the low-rigidity areas (21) in such a manner that the rigidity of the low-rigidity areas (21) is lower than the rigidity of the high-rigidity areas (22).以提供可規則的扭轉變形之新穎的吸收性物品為課題，為了解決該課題，提供在具備液體透過性的頂部薄片(2)、液體不透過性的背部薄片(3)、頂部薄片(2)及背部薄片(3)間所設置的吸收體(4)的生理用衛生棉(1)中，在頂部薄片(2)中於接受液體的供給之液體被供給領域(20)，形成高剛性領域(22)與低剛性領域(21)，在高剛性領域(22)形成於與生理用衛生棉(1)的長度方向交叉方向延伸設置且略平行並列設置的略直線狀的第1領域，於低剛性領域(21)形成其剛性比高剛性領域(22)的剛性低的液體透過孔(26)。
