PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article that uses a non-woven fabric comprising cotton as a surface sheet and is unlikely to cause a wearer to feel uncomfortable, that is, unlikely to cause a wearer to sense a wet state or feel stuffy or the like.SOLUTION: The absorbent article has a surface sheet that is of a non-woven fabric composed of at least two fiber layers including a first fiber layer which comprises cotton and thermoplastic resin fibers, and a second fiber layer which comprises hydrophobic thermoplastic resin fibers. The non-woven fabric has: a first surface that is the surface on the side facing the skin and is formed by the second fiber layer； and a second surface that is the surface on the side not facing the skin and faces an absorbent body. The non-woven fabric is provided with a plurality of protruded sections protruded toward the first surface, and a plurality of recessed sections that are provided between adjacent protruded sections and recessed toward the second surface. The protruded sections have gap sections facing the second surface of the non-woven fabric.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3【課題】本発明は、表面シートとしてコットンを含む不織布を使用した吸収性物品において、着用者に濡れた状態を知覚させたり、蒸れなどを感じさせたりして、着用者に不快感を生じさせるようなことが起こりにくい吸収性物品を提供するものである。【解決手段】本発明の吸収性物品は、表面シートが、コットン及び熱可塑性樹脂繊維から構成される第１繊維層と、疎水性の熱可塑性樹脂繊維から構成される第２繊維層とを含む、少なくとも２層の繊維層からなる不織布であり、前記不織布は、前記肌対向面側の面であって前記第２繊維層により形成される第１面と、前記非肌対向面側の面であって前記吸収体と対向する第２面と、を有するとともに、前記不織布は、前記第１面の方向に向けて突出する複数の凸部と、隣り合う前記凸部の間に設けられ、前記第２面の方向に向けて窪む複数の凹部と、を備えていて、前記凸部は、前記不織布の第２面が面する空隙部を有するものである。【選択図】図３
