[Problem] To prevent side leakage of a body fluid, improve the absorption efficiency of the body fluid, and relieve the wearers unpleasantness.[Solution] An absorbent article provided with emboss grooves (10) that have a structure wherein: high-compression parts (20) and low-compression parts (21) are alternately aligned along the longitudinal direction on both sides in the width direction the high-compression parts (20) are alternately placed in a houndstooth pattern on both sides in the width direction at the intermediate position in the width direction, a high-compression part-joining line (22), which is connected to the high-compression parts (20) on both sides in the width direction and joins the high-compression parts (20) together on a line running along the longitudinal direction, is provided and the aforesaid high-compression parts (20) and low-compression parts (21) constantly exist against the width direction. Menstrual blood or the like that flows in the emboss grooves (10) along the width direction is allowed to penetrate toward the absorbent body side in the high-compression parts (20) at a high absorption speed and then quickly diffused in the longitudinal direction through the joining line (22). Thus, the diffusion of the menstrual blood or the like in the width direction is suppressed and, as a result, the side leakage thereof can be prevented.Linvention a pour but dempêcher la fuite latérale dun fluide corporel, daméliorer lefficacité dabsorption du fluide corporel, et dalléger la gêne du porteur.Linvention concerne un article absorbant muni de sillons gaufrés (10) qui ont une structure dans laquelle des parties à haute compression (20) et des parties à basse compression (21) sont alternativement alignées dans la direction longitudinale des deux côtés dans la direction de la largeur les parties à haute compression (20) sont alternativement placées selon un motif pied-de-poule des deux côtés dans la direction de la largeur à la position intermédia
