Problem to be solved: to provide an absorbent article excellent in cushioning property, compression recoverability and formability of the absorber.In the absorbent article 1a of the present invention, the absorbent member 4 contains water absorbent material 12F and 13, and a fiber mass 11 containing a plurality of synthetic fibers 11F. The fiber mass 11 is present on the non skin facing surface of the absorber 4 at least in the longitudinal central region M. At least a pair of rear recessed portions 8, which are not penetrated through the absorber 4, are provided at least in a lateral direction Y on the non skin facing surface of the absorber 4 of the vertical central region M.Diagram【課題】吸収体のクッション性、圧縮回復性及び保形性に優れる吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の吸収性物品1Aにおいて、吸収体4は、吸水性材料12F,13と、複数の合成繊維11Fを含む繊維塊11とを含有する。繊維塊11は、少なくとも縦中央域Mにおいて吸収体4の非肌対向面側に存在する。縦中央域Mの吸収体4の非肌対向面に、該吸収体4を非貫通の裏面凹陥部8が、横方向Yに離間して少なくとも一対設けられている。【選択図】図4
