In an absorbent article, to keep a body fluid contacted with a compressed groove from diffusing to the end part of the compressed groove and prevent the absorbent article from deforming due to contact with a body fluid. An absorbent article comprising at least a liquid-permeable sheet, a liquid-impermeable sheet, and an absorption body sandwiched between the liquid-permeable sheet and the liquid-impermeable sheet, which is an absorbent article where, on the skin-contact surface side, a pair of compressed grooves for integrating from the liquid-permeable sheet to the absorption body are formed along the longitudinal direction, wherein the compressed groove consists of a high-compressed part and a low-compressed part, the high-compressed part is composed of nearly transverse high-compressed parts formed to almost fully traverse the compressed groove in the widthwise direction and disposed at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the compressed groove and non-transverse high-compressed parts formed not to traverse the compressed groove and disposed at intervals in the region between nearly transverse high-compressed parts, and by the arrangement of the non-transverse high-compressed parts, the low-compressed part is formed to continue in the longitudinal direction of the compressed groove between nearly transverse high-compressed parts.
