The present invention provides an absorbent article with which deformation of the absorbent article can be guided, while avoiding a feeling of hardness, and which has a satisfactory feeling when worn.The absorbent article according to the present invention has a length direction, a width direction and a thickness direction, and is provided at least with an absorbent body (4) including water-absorbent fibers (8a). The absorbent body (4) includes deformation-guiding portions (11, 12) which extend in a predetermined direction, and base portions (13) provided on both sides of each deformation-guiding portion (11, 12). The deformation-guiding portions (11, 12) are provided with compressed regions (14, 15) which extend in said predetermined direction and in which the absorbent body (4) has been compacted in the thickness direction, and protruding portions (16 to 19) which extend in the predetermined direction on both sides of each compressed region (14, 15) and which protrude from the base portion (13) toward the skin surface. The configuration is such that the fiber density of the protruding portions (16 to 19) is less than the fiber density of the base portion (13).La présente invention concerne un article absorbant. La déformation de larticle absorbant peut être guidée, tout en évitant une sensation de dureté, et larticle absorbant a une sensation satisfaisante lorsquil est porté. Larticle absorbant selon la présente invention a une direction de longueur, une direction de largeur et une direction dépaisseur, et comprend au moins un corps absorbant (4) comprenant des fibres dabsorption deau (8a). Le corps absorbant (4) comprend des parties de guidage de déformation (11, 12) qui sétendent dans une direction prédéterminée, et des parties de base (13) situées sur les deux côtés de chaque partie de guidage de déformation (11, 12). Les parties de guidage de déformation (11, 12) comprennent des régions comprimées (14, 15) qui sétendent dans ladite direction prédéterminée, et
