This absorbent article (1) is provided with a liquid-permeable intermediate sheet (5) that is disposed between a surface sheet (2) and an absorber (4). The intermediate sheet (5) has: on a non-skin-facing surface, a plurality of contact parts (54S) that come into contact with the absorber (4) located adjacently； and no-contact parts (54N) that are not in contact with the absorber (4). When the intermediate sheet (5) is pressed in the thickness direction from the absorber (4) side at a pressing force of 30 gf/cm2, the proportion of, with respect to the pressed surface on which the pressing force is applied, the total surface area of the contact surface at which the plurality of contact parts (54S) present at the pressed surface make contact with the absorber (4) is not more than 80%.吸收性物品(1)具備配置於正面片材(2)與吸收體(4)之間之液體透過性之中間片材(5)。中間片材(5)於其非肌膚對向面具有與作為鄰接構件之吸收體(4)接觸之複數個接觸部(54S)及不與該吸收體(4)接觸之非接觸部(54N)。於將中間片材(5)自吸收體(4)側沿厚度方向以30 gf/cm2之壓力按壓時，存在於按壓面之複數個接觸部(54S)與吸收體(4)接觸之接觸面之總面積相對於經按壓之該按壓面的比率為80%以下。
