This absorbent article (10) comprises: a liquid-permeable front sheet (14)； a liquid-impermeable back sheet (12)； an absorption body (13) that is disposed between the front sheet (14) and the back sheet (12), and that is bonded to the back sheet (12) at first bonding sections (21a)； and a cover sheet (11) that is bonded to an outer surface of the back sheet (12) at a second bonding section (21b). The absorption body (13) has provided thereto a recess formation region (N1) in which a plurality of recesses (20) are formed. The first bonding sections (21a) and the second bonding section (21b) are disposed so as not to overlap in at least 50% of the region sandwiched by the recess formation region (N1) and the cover sheet (11).本發明之吸收性物品(10)係具備有透液性之表面側片材(14)、不透液性之背面側片材(12)、被配置於上述表面側片材(14)與上述背面側片材(12)之間且經由第1接合部(21a)而接合與上述背面側片材(12)之吸收體(13)及經由第2接合部(21b)而與上述背面側片材(12)之外側表面接合之覆蓋片材(11)者，且於上述吸收體(13)設置有形成有複數個凹部(20)之凹部形成區域(N1)，且於由上述凹部形成區域(N1)與上述覆蓋片材(11)所包夾之50%以上之區域，至少使上述第1接合部(21a)與上述第2接合部(21b)不重疊地被配置。
