Provided is an absorbent article that is capable of minimizing deterioration in wearing comfort while ensuring the absorption performance of an absorbent body. The absorbent article is provided with an absorbent body (30) that has a central region with a highly-absorbent polymer density that is higher than that of a skin-side region and a non-skin-side region, and in which multiple compressed sections, which are compressed in the thickness direction, are formed. The compressed sections comprise first compressed sections (33) that extend in a first inclination direction, and second compressed sections (34) that extend in a second inclination direction. The first compressed sections (33) and the second compressed sections (34) are continuously formed in an alternating manner in the longitudinal direction, and are alternately formed at intervals in the width direction. Non-compressed regions (R1), in which the compressed sections are not formed, are disposed in regions between adjacent first compressed sections (33) and second compressed sections (34) in the longitudinal direction, and in regions between adjacent first compressed sections (33) and second compressed sections (34) in the width direction.La présente invention concerne un article absorbant qui est capable de réduire au minimum la détérioration du confort de port tout en assurant les performances dabsorption dun corps absorbant. Larticle absorbant comprend un corps absorbant (30) qui a une région centrale avec une densité de polymère hautement absorbante qui est plus élevée que celle dune région côté peau et une région non-côté peau, et dans lequel de multiples sections compressées, qui sont compressées dans la direction de lépaisseur, sont formées. Les sections compressées comprennent des premières sections compressées (33) qui sétendent dans une première direction dinclinaison, et des deuxièmes sections compressées (34) qui sétendent dans une deuxième direction dinclinaison. Les premières sections compres
