The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent article that can be made smaller because the crown section continues to fit the wearers excretory opening, which has a complex shape, both when dry before absorbing menstrual blood and when wet after absorbing menstrual blood, and with which leakage does not occur easily. This absorbent article is as follows: The absorbent article (1), which comprises a liquid-permeable top sheet (4), a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and a specified absorbent (7) between the liquid permeable top sheet (4) and the liquid-impermeable back sheet, is characterized in that: the absorbent article (1) has a crown section (2), which protrudes in the thickness direction of the absorbent article (1) in the region that is in contact with the excretory opening and comprises a specified cushion section and in the central section, the crown section (2) has a compression workload (WC) of 10-50 (N.m/m2) and a compression resilience (RC) of 35-100%.本發明以提供吸收經血前的乾燥時與吸收經血後的濕潤時之兩者中,中高部持續貼合具有複雜形狀的著用者的排泄口,且不易滲漏,所以可小型化的吸收性物品為目的。本發明之吸收性物品如下。包含液透過性的頂部薄片(4)、液不透過性的背部薄片、與液透過性的頂部薄片(4)及液不透過性的背部薄片間的特定的吸收體(7)的吸收性物品(1),其特徵係吸收性物品(1)在排泄口接觸區域中,具有向吸收性物品(1)的厚度方向突出的含特定緩衝部的中高部(2),中高部(2)在中央部中,具有10~50(N‧m/m2)的壓縮作功量WC與35~100%的壓縮回復力RC的吸收性物品(1)。
