PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article excellently spreading body fluid such as emitted urine to the longitudinal direction on a top sheet, excellent in absorption of body fluid spread in the longitudinal direction, and causing less return of the body fluid.SOLUTION: An absorbent article (1) is such that: a surface member (2) includes a center sheet member (21) and a pair of side part sheet members (22 and 23); the surface member (2) has a pair of first overlapping parts (A) formed by overlapping the pair of side part sheet members (22 and 23) on the center sheet member (21) from a skin surface side; and each of the pair of first overlapping parts (A) joins the center sheet member (21) and the side part sheet members (22 and 23), and has a first junction (B) extending in a longitudinal direction (L), and first free edge parts (22a and 23a) of the side part sheet members (22 and 23), going along the first junction (B) and projecting to a longitudinal axis (C) direction.【課題】本発明は、吸収性物品に関し、排出された尿などの体液を表面シート上の長手方向に良好に拡散させることができると共に、前記長手方向に拡散された体液の吸い込みが良好であり、更に、前記体液の逆戻りが少ない吸収性物品を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】本発明の吸収性物品(1)は、表面部材(2)が、中央シート部材(21)と、一対の側部シート部材(22,23)とを備え、前記表面部材(2)が、前記一対の側部シート部材(22,23)を、肌面側から前記中央シート部材(21)に重ね合わせることにより形成された一対の第1重複部(A1)を有し、前記一対の第1重複部(A1)のそれぞれが、中央シート部材(21)及び側部シート部材(22,23)を接合し、長手方向(L)に延びる第1接合部(B1)と、該第1接合部(B1)に沿い且つ長手軸線(C)方向に突出する、前記側部シート部材(22,23)の第1自由縁部(22a,23a)とを有する。【選択図】図1
