The present invention aims to provide an absorbent article enabling the presence of moisture, for example, derived from urination to be correctly recognized. An outer sheet 9 is provided on its side facing wearer's skin, i.e., on its side facing a liquid-absorbent structure 10 with moisture visualizing elements 21. The moisture visualizing elements 21 are formed by coating the outer sheet 9 with hot melt composition comprising pH indicator mixed with pressure-sensitive adhesive ingredient. Two or more stripes of the hot melt composition forming the moisture visualizing elements 21 extend in a longitudinal direction Y. Between the moisture visualizing elements 21 and the liquid-absorbent structure 10, there is provided a cover sheet 22 having a sufficient area to cover the moisture visualizing elements 21 completely in the longitudinal direction as well as in the transverse direction and being bonded to at least one of the outer sheet 9 and the absorbent structure 10. As the cover sheet 22, a hydrophobic fibrous nonwoven fabric exhibiting a water pressure resistance in a range of 40 to 500 mm is used.本發明是提供一種可準確判斷排尿等水分的存在的吸收性物品。解決手段，在外面薄片(9)的身體側，亦即，在與吸液構造體(10)對向之側，形成有水分辨識元件(21)。水分辨識元件(21)是藉著使用在黏著成分混合了pH指示藥的熱熔組成物，並將該組成物塗布在外面薄片(9)所形成。形成水分辨識元件(21)的熱熔組成物在縱向Y複數條延伸，在水分辨識元件(21)與吸液構造體(10)之間安裝有被覆薄片(22)。被覆薄片(22)具有在縱向Y及橫向X，可覆蓋水分辨識元件(21)的全部的面積，並接合在外面薄片(9)或吸液構造體(10)的至少任一方。使用耐水壓40～500mm的疏水性的纖維不織布作為被覆薄片(22)。
