An absorbent article that imparts an appropriate cooling effect early and for a long time is provided. SOLUTION: An absorbent article 1 comprising a skin contact sheet 17, a clothing contact sheet 21, and a microcapsule 55 containing a cooling sensation component, wherein the skin contact sheet 17 is a fabric containing fibers. The fiber density of the fibers on the skin contact surface 15 side of the skin contact sheet 17 is higher than the fiber density of the fibers on the non-skin contact surface 57 side of the skin contact sheet 17, and the skin contact sheet 17 includes the microcapsules 55 therein, and the number density of the microcapsules 55 on the skin contact surface 15 side of the skin contact sheet 17 is equal to the microcapsules 55 on the non-skin contact surface 57 side of the skin contact sheet 17. The absorbent article 1 is characterized by being lower than the number density.
