Provided is an absorbent article capable of suppressing leakage in the widthwise direction from an absorbent article (1) of a bodily fluid (31) which has seeped from an absorbent body (4) as a result of the application of pressure to the absorbent article (1). The present invention is an absorbent article (1) having a lengthwise direction (Y-direction) and a widthwise direction (X-direction), and provided with a liquid-permeable top sheet (2) provided on the skin-side, a liquid-impermeable backsheet (3) provided on the garment-side, and a liquid-holding absorbent body (4) provided between the top sheet (2) and the backsheet (3) and including edges extending in the lengthwise direction on both sides in the widthwise direction, wherein: at least areas outside both edges of the absorbent body (4) in the widthwise direction thereof include a plurality of first channels (21) and a plurality of second channels (22) for channeling bodily fluid (31) which has seeped from the absorbent article (4)； the plurality of first channels (21) extend in the lengthwise direction and are arranged in the widthwise direction； and the plurality of second channels (22) connect adjacent first channels (21).提供可抑制對吸收性物品施加壓力而由吸收體滲出的體液從吸收性物品的寬度方向滲漏的吸收性物品。本發明為具有長度方向(Y方向)及寬度方向(X方向)、具備於肌膚側設置的液透過性的頂部薄片(2)、與於著衣側設置的液不透過性的背部薄片(3)、與包含在寬度方向之兩側朝長度方向延伸的緣且設置於頂部薄片(2)及背部薄片(3)間的液保留性的吸收體的吸收性物品，其中至少吸收體的寬度方向之兩緣的外側中，包含用以使由吸收體滲出的體液流入的複數的第1流路(21)及複數的第2流路(22)，複數的第1流路(21)於長度方向延展、排列於寬度方向，複數的第2流路(22)連結鄰接的第1流路(21)。
