[Problem] Provided is an absorbent article which includes a top sheet having extruded protrusions and a second sheet bonded to the top sheet and has adequate softness, satisfactory appearance, and yet prevents wrinkles in the top sheet along the MD. [Solution] The problem is solved by a method of producing an absorbent article including forming the extruded protrusions 31 through embossing of non-woven fabric 30S to be a top sheet 30 transferred by being drawn from downstream of a production line； and then bonding the non-woven fabric 30S and a material 40S of a second sheet 40 in a bonding pattern formed by aligning the material of the second sheet 40 with the back face of the non-woven fabric 30S having extruded protrusions 31, forming rows of plurality of top-second bonded portions 80 at intervals in the CD in regions between the extruded protrusions 31 adjacent each other in the MD so as to be provided across the center positions of the regions in the CD, and compressing the non-woven fabric 30S in areas 81 between the top-second bonded portions 80 in the rows in the CD without welding of the non-woven fabric 30S and the material 40S of the second sheet 40.
