In order to solve the problem of providing an absorbent article that exhibits improved properties for migrating menses from a top sheet towards an absorbing body, and enables residual menses on the top sheet to be reduced, the present invention provides a sanitary napkin (1) including a liquid-permeable top sheet (2), a liquid-impermeable back sheet (3), and an absorbing body (4) disposed between the top sheet (2) and the back sheet (3), wherein a blood-lubricating agent that is coated on protrusions (8) formed in an excretory orifice contact region of the top sheet (2) has a kinetic viscosity of 0.01-80mm2/s at 40°C, a water retention rate of 0.01-4.0 mass%, and a weight-average molecular weight of less than 1,000.
