The present invention addresses the problem of making it possible to recognize the position and the shape of an absorbent body in an absorbent article and to thereby promote the function and the functional beauty of said absorbent article to a user. The abovementioned problem is solved by an absorbent article characterized in that an absorbent body (56) thereof comprises a colored fiber layer (52) that extends across all of said absorbent body (56) in the front-back direction and the width direction, that is colored so as to have a different color than members other than the absorbent body (56), and that thereby makes it possible to recognize the colored fiber layer (52) from the exterior.本發明所欲解決的問題是能夠在實物中辨識吸收體的位置和形狀，因而能夠向使用者傳達其功能和美感功能性。 為了解決上述問題，本發明提供一種吸收性物品，其特徵在於：吸收體56具有遍及其整個前後方向和寬度方向的著色纖維層52，該著色纖維層52被著色成與前述吸收體56以外的構件不同的顏色；並且，該著色纖維層52能夠由外部目視識別。
