The present invention enables an absorbent body material article to be bent more easily when an absorbent article is wrapped. The invention provides an absorbent article that is used in a state in which the absorbent article contacts a body of a wearer on a skin face side, including: an absorbent article main unit an absorbent body material that is included in the absorbent article main unit and that includes an absorbent fiber and a super absorbent resin and interspersed sections that are included in the absorbent body material and that have a longitudinal direction, a lateral direction, and a thickness direction, wherein a densely gathered state of the absorbent fiber in each of the interspersed sections is less dense than a densely gathered state of the absorbent fiber around each of the interspersed sections, and an occupied volume ratio of the super absorbent resin in the interspersed sections is greater than an occupied volume ratio of the super absorbent resin around the interspersed sections, the absorbent article has a fold line for wrapping, and when the absorbent article is viewed from the skin face side, at least one of the interspersed sections overlaps the fold line in a state in which the longitudinal direction of the at least one of the interspersed sections is aligned with the fold line.於包裝吸收性物品時,使該吸收體材料可更容易地折曲。針對於在以肌膚面側接觸於穿著者身體的狀態下所使用之吸收性物品,其特徵為:具備有吸收性物品本體、及設置於該吸收性物品本體,並具有吸收性纖維與高吸收性樹脂的吸收體材料、以及設置於該吸收體材料之具有長邊方向及短邊方向及厚度方向的點分布部;位於該點分布部的吸收性纖維之密集狀態,為比位於該點分布部的周圍之該密集狀態還稀疏,且,位於該點分布部之高吸收性樹脂的體積佔有率,為構成得比位於該點分布部之周圍的該體積佔有率還高,於上述吸收性物品係構成有包裝用之折痕,從上述肌膚面側觀察上述吸收性物品時,上述點分布部,是在該點分布部之上述長邊方向沿著上述折痕之狀態下,與該折痕重疊。1‧‧‧吸收性物品10‧‧‧吸收體10a‧‧‧膨脹部10b‧‧‧包圍部11‧‧‧薄頁紙(覆蓋構件)12‧‧‧吸收體材料13‧‧‧點分布部14‧‧‧連續部20‧‧‧表面薄片22‧‧‧深溝部25‧‧‧側邊薄片30‧‧‧背面薄片(吸收性物品本體)32‧‧‧保持部
