PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article capable of further improving soft feeling to the skin and cushioning property, and holding these surface characteristics even in use.SOLUTION: An absorbent article includes: a surface layer 1 a leakage preventing layer 3 and an absorption layer 2. The surface layer 1 has a plurality of projecting parts 11 and recessed parts 12 formed by integrally deforming the skin contact surface side and the skin non-contact surface side in the thickness direction. The projecting parts 11 and the recessed parts 12 are disposed adjacent to each other in different directions in a plan view to be rugged. The absorption layer 2 has a heat shrinkable fiber 27 having a heat fusion property and a hydrophilic fiber. The skin non-contact surface side of the projecting part 11 of the surface layer 1 is provided with a space part 4 up to the absorption layer 2, and the skin non-contact surface side of the recessed part 12 of the surface layer 1 is joined and fixed to the absorption layer 2 by heat fusion of the heat shrinkable fiber 27 in a junction part 5.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】肌に対する柔らかな風合いとクッション性とをさらに向上させ、かつ、これらの表面特性を使用時においても持続可能とする吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】表面層1、防漏層3、及び吸収層2を有する吸収性物品であって、前記表面層1は、肌当接面側及び非肌当接面側が一体的に厚み方向に変形してなる複数の凸部11と凹部12とを有し、該凸部11と凹部12とが平面視異なる方向に交互に隣接して配されて凹凸形状をなし、前記吸収層2は、熱融着性を有する熱収縮繊維27と、親水性繊維とを有しており、前記表面層1の凸部11の非肌当接面側には前記吸収層2との間に空間部4が配されており、前記表面層1の凹部12の非肌当接面側は、接合部5における前記熱収縮繊維27の熱融着により、前記吸収層2と接合固定されている吸収性物品。【選択図】図1
