The present invention addresses the problem of providing an absorptive article less likely to allow bodily fluid, which has been discharged from the wearer, to leak from the absorptive article. To solve the problem, this absorptive article (1) comprises: a liquid permeable front surface sheet (20) a liquid impermeable rear surface sheet (30) provided at a position facing the front surface sheet (20) an absorption body (40) provided between the front surface sheet (20) and the rear surface sheet (30) and a second sheet (50) provided between the front surface sheet (20) and the absorption body (40). Recesses (70) extending from the front surface sheet (20) to the inside of the second sheet (50) are formed by heating and compression in the thickness direction. The fibers of the front surface sheet (20) are thermo-plastically deformed in the recesses (70). The linear shape of the fibers of the front surface sheet (20) is maintained at the bottoms of the recesses (70). The front surface sheet (20) is joined to the second sheet using an adhesive agent, and the second sheet (50) includes air-laid nonwoven fabric containing pulp.
