This non-woven fabric comprises the following configuration. In this non-woven fabric (13) for a liquid-permeable sheet (3) of an absorbent article (1), said non-woven fabric (13) comprising a thickness direction (T), a planar direction (P), a first face (15), and a second face (17): the non-woven fabric (13) includes thermoplastic resin fibers (19), and cellulosic fibers (21), at least a portion whereof configures a plurality of fiber masses (23)； the non-woven fabric (13) further comprises a plurality of spaces (27) which are adjacent to first regions (25) of each of the plurality of fiber masses (23), said first regions (25) facing the first face (15)； and each of the plurality of fiber masses (23) is not bonded to the thermoplastic resin fibers (19).本發明之目的係在於提供一種吸收性物品的透液性薄片用不織布，其係在非加壓下及加壓下，濕氣及液體不易從吸收體透過至吸收性物品與穿用者之間的空間，穿用者不易感到悶熱感、及回滲感。本發明之不織布係具有以下的結構。一種不織布(13)係具有厚度方向(T)及平面方向(P)、以及第1面(15)及第2面(17)之吸收性物品(1)的透液性薄片(3)用不織布(13)，該不織布(13)是包含有熱可塑性樹脂纖維(19)和纖維素系纖維(21)，該纖維素系纖維(21)之至少一部分構成複數個纖維塊(23)，該不織布(13)具備有複數個空隙部(27)，這些複數個空隙部(27)是鄰接於複數個纖維塊(23)各自的第1區域(25)中，該第1區域是與第1面(15)相面對，複數個纖維塊(23)各自未與熱可塑性樹脂纖維(19)接合。
