An absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and an absorbent body arranged between the top sheet and the back sheet. An excretory orifice contact area of the liquid-permeable top sheet has an area containing a blood slipping agent. The blood slipping agent has a kinematic viscosity of 0.01-80 mm2/s at 40° C., a water hold percentage of 0.01-4.0 mass %, and a weight average molecular weight of less than 1,000. An amount of the blood slipping agent on the clothing-side surface of the top sheet is greater than an amount of the blood slipping agent on the skin-side surface of the top sheet at a location in the area containing the blood slipping agent where the surfaces overlap in the thickness direction of the absorbent article.
