Provided is an aosorbent pad for men which has a good it because the absorbent pad matches the shape of the body and a part of the absorbent pad protrudes outwards. This absorbent pad (10) for men has a longitudinal direction ? and a lateral direction (X) that are perpendicular to each other, a skin-facing surface and a non-skin-facing surface on the opposite side to the skin-facing surface, and a longitudinal axis (P) that bisects the absorbent pad in the lateral direction (X). The absorbent pad (10) for men comprises a pad body (20) having a liquid-permeable body-side liner (21), a liquid-impermeable back surface sheet (22), and a liquid-absorbing core (23) disposed between the body- side liner and the back surface sheet. The paa body (20) has fold induetion grooves (40) that are recessed from the skin-facing surface towards the non-skin-facing surface, and said induction grooves have first grooves (41) that intersect with the longitudinal axis and extend at an angle, and second grooves (42) that intersect with the longitudinal axis and extend i n a direction intersecting with the first grooves. The point intersection (M) of the first grooves and the second grooves is positioned on the longitudinal axis.
