Provided is an absorbent article, wherein the surface sheet, which contains non-heat-meltable fibers, does not peel off easily. The sanitary napkin (1) comprises: a surface sheet (20); a back sheet (30); a body fluid absorbent (40) that is positioned between the surface and back sheets (20, 30); a heat-meltable sheet (50) that is positioned between the surface sheet (20) and the absorbent (40); and a pair of side sheets (60) that are positioned on the skin-facing surface of the surface sheet (20). The heat-meltable sheet (50) and the side sheets (60) are formed using synthetic fiber that contains thermoplastic resin. The surface sheet (20) is formed using cotton fiber, which is a natural fiber. Multiple openings (21), which penetrate in the thickness direction thereof, are formed. The side sheets (60) are attached so as to overlap and cover the two side edges (20a) of the surface sheet (20). Adhesive sections (71) are formed between the surface sheet (20) and the side sheets (60). Welded sections (72) resulting from heating and pressurization are formed between the side sheets (60) and the heat-meltable sheet (50). Portions of the adhesive sections (71) and the welded sections (72) overlap each other.L'invention concerne un article absorbant dans lequel la feuille de surface, qui contient des fibres non thermofusibles, ne s'enlève pas facilement par pelage. La serviette sanitaire (1) comprend : une feuille de surface (20) ; une feuille arrière (30) ; un absorbant de fluides corporels (40) qui est positionné entre les feuilles de surface et arrière (20, 30) ; une feuille thermofusible (50) qui est positionnée entre la feuille de surface (20) et l'absorbant (40) ; et une paire de feuilles latérales (60) qui sont positionnées sur la surface tournée vers la peau de la feuille de surface (20). La feuille thermofusible (50) et les feuilles latérales (60) sont formées à l'aide d'une fibre synthétique qui contient de la résine thermoplastique. La feuille de surface (20) est
