An absorptive article deformed into a stable shape to improve easiness of contact with skin, reducing leakage of bodily fluid etc. The absorptive article has a top sheet (2) at least a portion of which is liquid permeable and that is placed on the clothing contact surface side, a liquid non-permeable back sheet (3) placed on the skin contact surface side, and a liquid retainable absorptive body (4) placed between the top sheet (2) and the back sheet (3). The absorptive body (4) has a compression groove section formed, when compressed from the skin contact surface side to the clothing contact surface side, into a recessed shape recessed on the skin contact surface side, toward the clothing contact surface side, and the absorptive body (4) also has a space section formed, when compressed from the clothing contact surface side to the skin contact surface side, into a projected shape projected on the clothing contact surface side, toward the skin contact surface side. The space section is formed on each of both sides of or on one side of a groove back section located on the opposite side of the compression groove section on the skin contact surface side.
