Provided is an absorbent article having a surface sheet (12) made of a composite sheet, a back sheet (13), and an absorbent (14) disposed between the two sheets, wherein the composite sheet (10) has a first direction (X) along the longitudinal direction of the article and a second direction (Y) along the width direction of the article, a first sheet (1) and a second sheet (2), which are laminated, are joined at a plurality of joining regions, and the first sheet (1) has protrusions (4), which are formed in regions other than the joining regions, and protrude toward the skin side of a wearer and away from the second sheet (2). The composite sheet (10) has a central region (M) and a pair of side regions (S, S), in which the protrusions are formed into different patterns. The first sheet (1) and the second sheet (2) are thermally fused at the joining regions in the side region (S), and all or some of the joining regions (33) in the side region (S) have through-holes (33c).本發明係一種吸收性物品,其具備包含複合片材之正面片材(12)、背面片材(13)及配置於兩片材間之吸收體(14),且複合片材(1)具有沿物品長度方向之第1方向(X)及沿物品寬度方向之第2方向(Y),經積層之第1片材(1)及第2片材(2)於複數個接合部接合,且第1片材(1)於接合部以外之部位向遠離第2片材(2)之方向突出,而形成有向穿著者之肌膚側突出之凸部(4),複合片材(10)具有以互不相同之圖案形成有凸部之中央區域(M)及一對側部區域(S、S),於側部區域(S)之接合部,第1片材(1)及第2片材(2)熱熔合,且側部區域(S)之接合部(33)之全部或部分具有貫通孔(33c)。
