PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article that enables urine and the like to be absorbed from both surfaces and that decreases return of absorbed urine while increasing an absorption amount.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 200 includes an absorber layer 210, a liquid-permeable upside sheet 202A that covers a top surface of the absorber layer, and a liquid-permeable downside sheet 202B that covers an undersurface of the absorber layer. The hydrophilicity of the upside sheet is higher than that of the downside sheet.
