This absorbent article is provided with a front sheet (12), and has a length direction (X) and a width direction (Y) perpendicular to the length direction. A center region (M) and side regions (S, S) of the front sheet (12) each has: a lattice-like recess (30) configured from multiple first continuous recesses (31) which are arranged at a fixed interval and extend continuously in one direction, and multiple second continuous recesses (35) which are arranged at a fixed interval and extend continuously in a direction intersecting the aforementioned one direction； and protrusions (4) surrounded by the first continuous recesses (31) and the second continuous recesses (35). The first and the second continuous recesses (31, 35) are not parallel to the length direction (X) or to the width direction (Y), and the width of the first and second continuous recesses (31, 35) in the center region (M) is greater than the width thereof in the side regions (S, S).本發明之吸收性物品具備正面片材(12)，且具有長度方向(X)及與該長度方向正交之寬度方向(Y)。正面片材(12)中，中央區域(M)及側區域(S、S)分別具有格子狀凹部(30)以及凸部(4)，上述格子狀凹部(30)包含以固定間隔配置之沿一方向連續地延伸之複數條第1連續凹部(31)、及以固定間隔配置之沿與上述一方向交叉之方向連續地延伸之複數條第2連續凹部(35)，上述凸部(4)由該第1連續凹部(31)及該第2連續凹部(35)包圍。第1及第2連續凹部(31、35)分別相對於長度方向(X)及寬度方向(Y)不平行，且中央區域(M)與側區域(S、S)相比，第1及第2連續凹部(31、35)之寬度較大。
