When the absorbent is segmented into three parts longitudinally, the absorbent has a middle first absorbing area, a second absorbing area that is the segment on one side of the first absorbing area, and a third absorbing area that is the segment on the other side of the first absorbing area. Each of the absorbing areas has a liquid-receiving layer that absorbs and diffuses liquid in the planar direction, and multiple protruding liquid absorbing and storing areas disposed on one surface of the liquid-receiving layer that are continuous with the liquid-receiving layer and absorb and store liquid, as well as having sunken groove-shaped crevices on one surface or at opposing positions on both surfaces, with the crevices being disposed between the protruding liquid absorbing and storing areas. The first crevices disposed in the first absorbing area are inside of the outer edges of the first absorbing area in plan view and are disposed in the longitudinal direction. The second and third crevices disposed respectively in the second and third absorbing areas are each disposed in a diagonal direction with respect to the longitudinal direction. The first and second crevices, and the first and third crevices are configured as crevices that are continuous with each other, or the first crevices are separated from the second crevices and the third crevices. The area ratio of the protruding liquid absorbing and storing areas is greater than that of the crevices. The liquid-receiving layer of the bottoms of the crevices is an absorbent of lower basis weight and density than the protruding liquid absorbing and storing areas.La présente invention concerne un produit absorbant qui, lorsquil est segmenté longitudinalement en trois parties, possède une première région dabsorption centrale, une deuxième région dabsorption qui est le segment sur un côté de la première région absorbante, et une troisième région dabsorption qui est le segment sur lautre côté de la première région absorbante
