PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a surface material from being torn in embossment, and have excellent humor absorption performance and excellent humor diffusivity along the groove longitudinal direction.SOLUTION: An absorbent article includes, on the bottom face of an embossed groove 10: high compression parts 20 extending from one side edge 10a towards the other side edge 10b and not reaching the other side edge 10b, intermittently formed in the groove longitudinal direction and high compression parts 20 extending from the other side edge 10b towards the one side edge 10a and not reaching the one side edge 10a, intermittently formed in the groove longitudinal direction, where the high compression parts 20 formed from the one side edge 10a and the high compression parts 21 formed from the other side edge 10b are formed alternately in the groove longitudinal direction. The absorbent article further includes a continuous belt-like gap 22 having a prescribed width A in the groove width direction, formed along the groove longitudinal direction between the high compression parts 20 formed from the one side edge 10a and the high compression parts 21 formed from the other side edge 10b, and a continuous belt-like gap 23 having a prescribed width B in the groove longitudinal direction, formed along the groove width direction.
