The technical problem of the present invention is to obtain a nonwoven fabric for absorbent articles that can always ensure a soft touch when it comes into contact with the skin. A groove bottom 6 of a groove 5 provided in a space between adjacent convex portions 4 and 4 has a bottom 9 deeper than the groove bottom 6 and is discontinuous with respect to a first direction X. Provided with a plurality of recessed portions 7 provided, at least a part of the peripheral surface of the recessed portion 7 includes a hole portion 11 communicating with the second surface side, and the hole portion 11 is formed without melting the thermoplastic resin fiber. It is set as the structure which has the edge part 13a of the fracture rupture fiber 13 formed by the fracture rupture among the thermoplastic resin fibers. [Selection] Figure 2【課題】本発明の技術的課題は、肌に接触した際に柔軟な肌触りを常に確保することができる吸収性物品用の不織布を得る。【解決手段】隣り合う凸部４，４の間の空間に設けられた溝部５の溝底部６に、溝底部６よりも深い底部９を有し、且つ第１方向Ｘに対して不連続に設けられた複数の凹部７を備え、凹部７の周面の少なくとも一部が、第２面側に通じる孔部１１を備えていて、孔部１１は、熱可塑性樹脂繊維を溶融することなく形成された周縁部１２を有し、周縁部１２には、熱可塑性樹脂繊維のうち、破断により形成された破断繊維１３の破断端部１３ａが含まれている構成とする。【選択図】図２
