PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article improving a feeling of use by hardly generating vertical creases on a front area by a stress applied to the width-directional inside of the front area in use.SOLUTION: A sanitary napkin 1 includes, on a skin facing surface, compressed grooves 6 formed by compressing a surface sheet 2 and an absorber 4 toward a backside sheet 3 side. The compressed grooves 6 include a front compressed groove 6a extending in a Y direction on a front area A, and a pair of vertical compressed grooves 6bs and 6bs extending in an X direction in both sides along the X direction on a discharge part facing area B. The front compressed groove 6a and the respective vertical compressed grooves 6bs are joined together, while forming narrowed portions 62r and 62l that are narrowed toward the Y-directional inside. The front compressed groove 6a has a recessed part 61 that is recessed rearward at the width-directional central part.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】使用中に前方領域の幅方向内側に掛かる応力により前方領域に縦皺が発生し難く、使用感が向上する吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の一実施形態である生理用ナプキン1は、肌対向面に、表面シート2及び吸収体4が裏面シート3側に向かって圧搾されてなる圧搾溝6を有する。圧搾溝6は、前方領域AにY方向に延びる前方圧搾溝6aと、排泄部対向領域BにおけるX方向に沿う両側部にX方向に延びる一対の縦圧搾溝6bs,6bsとを有する。前方圧搾溝6a及び各縦圧搾溝6bsは、Y方向内側に向かって括れる括れ部62r,62lを形成しながら連接されている。前方圧搾溝6aは、幅方向中央部にて後方側に向かって窪んだ窪み部61を有する。【選択図】図1
