PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article capable of excellently preventing lateral leakage even when a wearer is lying on his/her side.SOLUTION: A roughly planar absorbent article comprises a liquid-permeable upper side sheet, a liquid-impermeable lower side sheet, and an absorber layer arranged between the upper side sheet and the lower side sheet, and has a prescribed length in a back and forth direction, and a prescribed width in a width direction orthogonal to the back and forth direction. The absorber layer has thick wall parts separated on both sides of a center line extending in the back and forth direction, and extending along the back and forth direction, an outer shape of the thick wall part in plain view has unevenness in the width direction inside, and a through hole or a dent is formed in the width direction in a recessed position of the unevenness.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】装着者が横向きに寝ているときでも、横漏れを良好に防止することのできる吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】透液性の上側シートと、不透液性の下側シートと、前記上側シートと前記下側シートとの間に配置された吸収体層とを備え、前後方向に所定の長さと、前記前後方向に直交する幅方向に所定の幅とを有する略平面状の吸収性物品であって、前記吸収体層は、前記前後方向に延びる中心線の両側に離間して前記前後方向に沿って延在する肉厚部を有し、前記各肉厚部の平面視での外形形状は、前記幅方向内側に凹凸を有し、前記凹凸の凹部の位置に、厚み方向に貫通孔又は窪みが形成されている。【選択図】図1
