PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article that includes indicator means for coming into contact with urine and showing coloration, and can prevent the urine leak outside from a tail opening.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 10 has a cutting line 30 for forming the tail opening positioned in the dorsal area 12 side of an intermediate area 13, and an indicator 50 positioned in the non-physical facing side of a liquid absorbing layer 25 and coming into contact with the urine to show coloration. The liquid absorbing layer 25 is positioned in the side of a ventral side area 11 from the cutting line 30. A liquid absorbent core 40 has a first end edge 40b opposed to the cutting line 30, and a second end edge 40a opposed to the first end edge 40b in the longitudinal direction Y. An indicator 50 of the first end edge 40b and the second end edge 40a of the liquid absorbent core 40 is positioned at least outside the longitudinal direction Y of the first end edge 40b.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT
