An absorbent article (1) of the present invention has a liquid-permeable top layer (2) on a skin-contacting surface, a leakage-preventive layer (4) on a non-skin-contacting surface side, and a liquid-absorbing layer (3) between the top layer (2) and the leakage-preventive layer (4). The liquid-absorbing layer (3) contains a continuous layer (6) that includes a skin-contacting surface side and is continuous in a planar direction, and a plurality of small absorbent portions (8) that are continuously integrated with the continuous layer and protrude to the non-skin-contacting surface side. The small absorbent portions (8) are separated from each other by separating portions (7) having a lower basis weight than the small absorbent portions (8). The separating portion (7) does not penetrate the skin-contacting surface of the liquid-absorbing layer (3). The small absorbent portion (8) has compressed portion (10) that is depressed from the non-skin-contacting surface side toward the skin-contacting surface side.本創作之吸收性物品1於肌膚抵接面具有液體透過性之表面層2，於非肌膚抵接面側具有防漏層4，及於表面層2與防漏層4之間具有液體吸收層3。液體吸收層3具備包含肌膚抵接側面且於平面方向連續之連續層6、及與其成為連續一體且向非肌膚抵接面側突出之複數個小吸收部8。小吸收部8各者由基重低於小吸收部8之間隔部7隔開。間隔部7未貫通液體吸收層3之肌膚抵接面。於小吸收部8設置有自非肌膚抵接面側朝向肌膚抵接面側凹陷之壓縮部10。
