Problem to be solved: to provide an absorbent article capable of improving the absorption performance while improving the touch of the surface sheet.In the absorbent article, the surface sheet 2 comprises a first fiber layer 2A including a water proof fiber, and a second fiber layer 2B which is adjacent to the non skin side of the first fiber layer and includes a hydrophobic fiber and a water retaining fiber.The skin side surface of the first fiber layer constitutes the skin side surface of the surface sheet.The ratio of the water retaining fiber among the fibers constituting the first fiber layer is larger than that of the water retaining fiber in the fiber constituting the second fiber layer.The average fiber length of the water proof fiber of the second fiber layer is shorter than the average fiber length of the water proof fiber of the first fiber layer.Diagram【課題】表面シートの肌触りを良好にしつつ、吸収性能を向上させることが可能な吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】吸収性物品において、表面シート2は、保水性繊維を含む第1繊維層2aと、第1繊維層の非肌側に隣接し、疎水性繊維と保水性繊維とを含む第2繊維層2bと、を備える。第1繊維層の肌側の表面は、表面シートの肌側の表面を構成する。第1繊維層を構成する繊維のうちの保水性繊維の割合は、第2繊維層を構成する繊維のうちの保水性繊維の割合よりも多い。第2繊維層の保水性繊維の平均繊維長は、第1繊維層の保水性繊維の平均繊維長よりも短い。【選択図】図2
