A nonwoven fabric (10) includes a first region (11) and a second region (12) fonned along a thickness direction (T), and constituent fibers included in the first region (11) have different hydrophi1icities from constituent fibers included in the second region (12) when 90 g of artificial urine is passed through the nonwoven fabric at a rate of 5.0 g/second in a non-pressurized condition. The first region (11) is a region including a surface of the nonwoven fabric (10). The second region (12) is a region adjacent to the first region (11) when viewed along the thickness direction (T) of the nonwoven fabric (10). When the hydrophilicity is expressed as contact angle with water, the contact angle of the constituent fiber of the first region (11) is greater than the contact angle of the constituent fiber of the second region (12).
