[Problem] In an absorbent article for incontinence using cotton fiber for a front-surface sheet, a diffusing range of liquid in the front-surface sheet is made to be a predetermined range or less, thereby eliminating a sticky feeling of the surface, and reducing water retention of the front-surface sheet so as to cause urine to diffuse in the front-surface sheet rapidly.[Means of Solution] Provided is an incontinence pad 1 for medium or larger volume, which absorbs a urine volume of 20 cc or more. A front-surface sheet 3 is formed by applying a water repellent agent to a spunlace nonwoven fabric made of 100% by weight of cotton fiber, and has many openings 10 penetrating from front to back in a region including an excretion hole corresponding part. A diffusion area of liquid based on a predetermined diffusivity test is 2000 mm2 or less. An application amount of the water repellent agent is made to be 0.3 parts by weight or more relative to 100 parts by weight of cotton fiber. The front-surface sheet 3 is made of non-degreased cotton fiber.
