The absorbent article readily conforms to the shape of the body and is not susceptible to twisting or leakage. On a skin-contacting surface of a front side of a sanitary napkin (1) is formed, in a plan view, a concave low compression portion (10) which is a closed region portion that is depressed from the skin-contacting surface side, the closed region portion being defined by an inner curved line (12) that comprises a curved line that bulges toward the front end of the sanitary napkin (1) and an outer curved line (13) that is located further toward the front end than the inner curved line (12), comprises a curved line that bulges toward the front end of the sanitary napkin (1), and has both ends connected to both ends of the inner curved line (12). In the low compression portion (10), a plurality of high compression portions (11) are formed discretely along the inner curved line (12) and the outer curved line (13). High compression portions (14) formed along the inner curved line (12) are arranged along the entire length of the inner curved line (12), and high compression portions (15) formed along the outer curved line (13) are arranged in the center portion of the outer curved line (13) with no high compression portions being arranged on both end portions of the outer curved line (13).L'article absorbant se conforme facilement à la forme du corps et n'est pas susceptible de se tordre ou de fuir. Dans une vue en plan, sur une surface en contact avec la peau de la face avant d'une serviette hygiénique (1) est formée une partie concave à faible compression qui est une partie de région fermée enfoncée du côté de la surface en contact avec la peau, la partie de région fermée étant définie par une ligne incurvée interne (12) qui comprend une ligne incurvée qui fait saillie vers l'extrémité avant de la serviette hygiénique (1) et une ligne incurvée externe (13) qui est située plus loin vers l'extrémité avant de la serviette hygiénique (1), ladite surface en contact avec
