To minimize deformation of an absorbent body. An absorbent article characterized in that: a wrapping sheet (58) in which an absorbent body (56) is wrapped comprises an intermediate part (56c) positioned on either the front or the back of the absorbent body (56) and two side parts (58s) that are folded around to the other side of the absorbent body (56) from the intermediate part (56c)； the leading ends of the two side parts (58s) of the wrapping sheet (58) overlap on the other side of the absorbent body (56) and form a connecting section (58c)； all of the part of the inner surface of the wrapping sheet (58) that faces the absorbent body (56) is bonded to the outer surface of the absorbent body (56) via a hot melt adhesive (H1, H2)； and the amount of the hot melt adhesive (H1, H2) used to bond the wrapping sheet (58) and the absorbent body (56) is greater in at least an area (A1) on both ends of the other side of the absorbent body (56) in the width direction than on the one side of the absorbent body (56).本發明所欲解決的問題在於抑制吸收體的形狀發生變形。 為了解決上述問題，本發明提供一種吸收性物品，其用以包裝吸收體56之包裝片58，具有位於吸收體56的正反側中之任一側之中間部分56c、及自此中間部分56c朝吸收體56的另一側折回之兩側部分58s，並且該包裝片58的兩側部分58s的前端部於吸收體56的另一側重疊而形成連接部58c，其中，該吸收性物品的特徵在於：包裝片58的內表面，其與吸收體56相對向之部分的整體，藉由熱熔黏合劑H1、H2黏合於吸收體56的外表面，並且，用以黏合包裝片58和吸收體56之熱熔黏合劑H1、H2的使用量，相較於吸收體56的其中一側的熱熔黏合劑的使用量，在吸收體56的另一側中的至少寬度方向兩端部的區域A1內的熱熔黏合劑的使用量更多。
