PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which is excellent in dryness and body fluid permeability and is excellent in antibacterial property while maintaining a good feel of a surface sheet made of a water-retaining fiber. According to the present invention, a surface sheet (2) includes a first fiber layer (2a) forming a skin side surface and a second fiber layer (2b) adjacent to the non-skin side of the first fiber layer and forming a non-skin side surface. , Each of the first fiber layer and the second fiber layer contains a water-retaining fiber, the content of the polymer phenol compound in the water-retaining fiber in the first fiber layer 2a, in the second fiber layer 2b The absorbent article has a high content as compared with the content of the high-molecular phenol compound in the water-retaining fiber. [Selection diagram] Figure 1【課題】本発明は、保水性繊維による表面シートの肌触りを良好に維持しつつ、ドライ性及び体液浸透性に優れ、抗菌性に優れた吸収性物品を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】本発明は、表面シート２が、肌側面を構成する第１繊維層２ａと、第１繊維層の非肌側に隣接するとともに、非肌側面を構成する第２繊維層２ｂと、を備え、第１繊維層及び第２繊維層のそれぞれが、保水性繊維を含み、第１繊維層２ａにおける、保水性繊維中の高分子フェノール化合物の含有量が、第２繊維層２ｂにおける、保水性繊維中の高分子フェノール化合物の含有量に比較して多い、吸収性物品を提供する。【選択図】図１
