Provided is an absorbent article which is easy to put on when being put on, and with which it is easy to wipe the skin of the wearer when being removed. An absorbent article (10) has a front-rear direction (L), a width direction (W) perpendicular to the front-rear direction, a front waist region (S1), a rear waist region (S2), a crotch region (S3) disposed between the front waist region and the rear waist region, a side locking portion (60) locking the front waist region and the rear waist region together, and an absorbent core (51) provided at least in the crotch region. A fold line (FL) for folding the absorbent article in two extends in the width direction in the crotch region. A first distance (L1) from a front edge of the absorbent core to a front edge of the front waist region is greater than a second distance (L2) from a rear edge of the absorbent core to a rear edge of the rear waist region. A difference (L3) between a distance from the fold line to the rear edge of the absorbent core and a distance from the fold line to the front edge of the absorbent core is greater than a length (L4) in the front-rear direction of a region of the front waist region that overlaps the absorbent core.為了提供一種吸收性物品，在穿用時讓吸收性物品易於穿用，在取下時容易擦拭穿用者的皮膚。吸收性物品(10)係具有：前後方向(L)、與前後方向正交之寬度方向(W)、前胴圍區(S1)、後胴圍區(S2)、配置於前胴圍區和後胴圍區間之胯下區(S3)、用於將前胴圍區和後胴圍區卡止之側卡止部(60)、以及設置於至少胯下區之吸收芯(51)。用於將吸收性物品對折之折線(FL)是在胯下區沿著寬度方向延伸。從吸收芯的前端緣到前胴圍區的前端緣之第1距離(L1)，是比從吸收芯的後端緣到後胴圍區的後端緣之第2距離(L2)更長。從折線到吸收芯的後端緣之距離和從折線到吸收芯的前端緣之距離之差異(L3)，是比前胴圍區當中與吸收芯重複的區域在前後方向上的長度(L4)更長。
