The present invention aims to provide an absorbent article adapted to maintain a desired flexibility of the topsheet and to prevent the article from becoming glossy. A sanitary napkin 1 comprises a topsheet 2 defining an inner side facing the wearer's skin, an outer side facing the wearer's garment, a liquid-absorbent structure 4 interposed between these top- and backsheets 2, 3, and a cushion sheet 5 interposed between the liquid-absorbent structure 4 and the topsheet 2. The topsheet 2 is formed with a plurality of pores 6 assuring liquid-pervious property thereof. The pores 6 are distributed over an entire area of the topsheet 2 and extending through the topsheet 2 in its thickness direction. The topsheet 2 is debossed to form a plurality of concavities 13 directed toward the side of the cushion sheet 5. The concavities 13 respectively have substantially circular shapes and are distributed over an entire area of the topsheet 2 substantially at regular intervals debossing to form the concavities 13 is carried out at a temperature lower than a fusion point of the topsheet 2.
