Provided is an absorbent article including an absorbent element (50) obtained by wrapping an absorbent body (56) in a wrapping sheet (58), wherein the absorbent body (56) is obtained by mixing and accumulating fibers and high absorbent polymer particles (56P) and includes an impregnation layer (562) impregnated with a hot melt adhesive (H2) having melt viscosity of 1,000 to 6,000 mPa·s on at least one side of a front face side and a back face side thereof, and a part of an internal surface of the wrapping sheet (58) facing the impregnation layer (562) is bonded to an external surface of the impregnation layer (562) through an adhesive layer (561) made of a hot melt adhesive (H1) having melt viscosity within a range of 4,000 to 9,000 mPa·s and having higher melt viscosity than melt viscosity of the hot melt adhesive impregnated into the impregnation layer.
