<；P>；PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article retaining the thinness and providing a surface layer with a clear recessed/projecting feeling by properly retaining embosses, having superior softness and flexibility, and having superior absorbability by capillarity. <；P>；SOLUTION: In this absorbent article where an absorptive body 4 is interposed between a liquid permeable surface sheet 3 and a liquid impermeable backside sheet 2 and the absorptive body 4 is wrapped with a liquid permeable core wrap sheet 5, the absorptive body 4 consists of a material with a compression recovery of 20% or less of that of the liquid permeable surface sheet 3, the core wrap sheet 5 consists of a material with extensibility of 20% or less of that of the liquid permeable surface sheet, and the dotted embosses 7 are applied from the upper face side of the liquid permeable surface sheet 3 with the liquid permeable surface sheet 3 stacked on the absorptive body 4, which is wrapped with the core wrap sheet 5, in a regular pattern. <；P>；COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
