An absorbent article (1) has a fluid-permeable surface sheet (10), a fluid-impermeable rear surface sheet (20), and an absorbent body (30). The absorbent body (30) comprises an absorbent core (32) having at least pulp fiber layered therein. A sheet material (80) including kampo herbal medicine material is arranged further on the skin contact surface side than the absorbent core (32). Both end sections of the sheet material (80), in the width direction of the absorbent article (1), are arranged further on the inside than both end sections of the absorbent core (32). First compression sections (23) that compress the surface sheet (10) and the absorbent core (32) in the thickness direction are arranged further on the outside in the width direction than the sheet material (80), in the surface sheet (10) and the absorbent core (32). The surface of the sheet material (80) on the non-skin contact side is in contact with the pulp fiber configuring the absorbent core (32).本發明之課題係提供:容易將中藥材料接近配置於穿用者、能夠使中藥成分更有效地賦與之吸收性物品。吸收性物品(1)係具有:透液性之表面薄片(10)、不透液性之背面薄片(20)、以及吸收體(30),吸收體係具備至少積層有紙漿纖維之吸收芯(32),於比吸收芯(32)更靠近皮膚抵接面側,配置含有中藥材料之薄片材(80)。於吸收性物品之寬度方向,薄片材之兩端部配置在比吸收芯(32)之兩端部更靠近內側,於表面薄片及吸收芯(32),將表面薄片及吸收芯往厚度方向壓縮而成之第1壓搾部(23)形成在比薄片材更靠近寬度方向外側,薄片材之非皮膚抵接側之面係抵接於構成吸收芯(32)的紙漿纖維。10‧‧‧表面薄片20‧‧‧背面薄片23‧‧‧第1壓搾部30‧‧‧吸收體31‧‧‧吸收薄片32A‧‧‧下側吸收芯32B‧‧‧上側吸收芯41‧‧‧側薄片51‧‧‧本體黏著區域52‧‧‧襟部黏著區域61‧‧‧本體薄片62‧‧‧襟部薄片65‧‧‧本體接著區域66‧‧‧襟部接著區域70‧‧‧包裝薄片80‧‧‧薄片材FL1‧‧‧第1長邊折痕FL2‧‧‧第2長邊折痕
