This surface sheet (1A) for an absorbent article includes large polygonal regions (BT) and small polygonal regions (ST) surrounded by a plurality of embossed parts (2). The embossed parts (2) form top parts of the large polygonal regions (BT) and small polygonal regions (ST). A high projection (31) is formed inside each of the large polygonal regions (BT) and a low projection (32) is formed inside each of the small polygonal regions (ST). Large polygonal region rows (BTL) composed of a plurality of the large polygonal regions (BT) arranged adjacent to one another along a first direction (X direction) and small polygonal region rows (STL) composed of a plurality of the small polygonal regions (ST) arranged adjacent to one another along the first direction (X direction) are alternately arranged in a second direction (Y direction) that is orthogonal to the first direction (X direction).本發明之吸收性物品用之正面片材(1A)具有由複數個壓紋部(2)所包圍之大多角形區域BT及小多角形區域ST。壓紋部(2)形成大多角形區域BT及小多角形區域ST之頂部。於各大多角形區域BT內形成有高凸部(31),於各小多角形區域ST內形成有低凸部(32)。由複數個大多角形區域BT沿第1方向(X方向)相互鄰接配置而構成之大多角形區域行BTL、與由複數個小多角形區域ST沿X方向相互鄰接配置而構成之小多角形區域行STL交替配置於與X方向正交之第2方向(Y方向)上。
