PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article compatibly achieving durability and plasticity.SOLUTION: The absorbent article includes an absorber having the longitudinal direction and width direction orthogonally crossing with each other, and absorbing humor, where the absorber includes pulp fibers and synthetic fibers. The absorber includes a plurality of slits, the angle of which formed with a width-directional virtual line dividing the longitudinal direction into two, is less than 45°, disposed at intervals apart in the longitudinal direction and the width direction respectively. An average length of the synthetic fibers is longer than a maximum slit interval distance that is the longest distance of distances between the slit and a slit adjacent thereto in the longitudinal direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT
