An absorbent article (1) of the present invention includes an elasticized region. The elasticized region has a sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet (KS) on a skin-facing surface side thereof. The sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet (KS) includes a hydrophobic layer (4) forming a skin-facing surface thereof, and a hydrophilic layer (5) disposed adjacent to a non-skin-facing surface of the hydrophobic layer (4), and has a plurality of fusion-bonded joined regions (8) via which the hydrophobic layer (4) and the hydrophilic layer (5) are fixed to each other. The hydrophobic layer (4) is formed of a hydrophobic fiber and is hydrophobic. The hydrophilic layer (5) is formed of a hydrophilic fiber and is hydrophilic. The sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet (KS) is a sheet in which, when 1 µL × 49 drops of a liquid are arranged within an area of 5 cm × 5 cm of the skin-facing surface and absorbed for 60 seconds, the amount of remaining liquid is 10 mg or less. The sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet (KS) is a sheet in which 50 µL × 1 drop of a liquid placed on the skin-facing surface evaporates within 15 minutes.
