The objective of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent article (1) having a high fiber density region (7) in which absorbed menstrual blood is not easily retained, so that after menstrual blood has been absorbed, feelings of stickiness are not easily caused on a top sheet (2), and the top sheet (2) remains dry. The absorbent article (1) of the present disclosure has a liquid-permeable top sheet (2), a liquid-impermeable back sheet (6), and an absorbent body (3). The absorbent article (1) is characterized by: the top sheet (2) having, in an excretory orifice contact region (A), a high fiber density region (7) and a low fiber density region (8)； the top sheet (2) containing, in the excretory orifice contact region (A), a prescribed blood lubricating agent (9)； and the basis weight of the blood lubricating agent (9) in the high fiber density region (7) being larger than the basis weight of the blood lubricating agent (9) in the low fiber density region (8).
