The present invention is an absorbent article in the form of a sanitary napkin or incontinent pad having a longitudinal side edges and transverse end edges, a fluid permeable topsheet (8), a fluid impermeable backsheet ( and 9), located between the top sheet (8) and rear sheet (9) and an absorbent core (10), on the absorbent article. Absorbent core (10), the fluid located between it through the first absorbent layer having an opening extending (12) and (11), a first absorbent layer (11) backsheet (9) It provided with a flow control structure (13) a,. Elastic members (16) are disposed along each longitudinal side edge of the absorbent article (1) (2, 3). The first absorbent layer (11) is transverse to the longitudinal forward portion (6), a longitudinal rear portion (7) and positioned between the longitudinal forward portion (6) and the longitudinal rear portion (7) and it has a direction transition section (14) and. The width of the narrow transverse transition portion (14) is a 50 to 75% of the widest transverse width of the front portion of the first absorbent layer (11) (6), the opening longitudinal direction of the (12) 20% to 50% of the length, located in the front portion of the first absorbent layer (11) (6). Forward portion of the first absorbent layer (11) (6) constitutes 20% to 40% in the longitudinal direction of the length of the first absorbent layer (11). Space (17) is laterally outer region of at least the narrow transverse transition portion (14) is located in the region between the elastic member (16) a first absorbent layer (11).本願発明は、長手方向側縁部及び横断方向端縁部を有する衛生ナプキン又は失禁パッドの形態の吸収物品であって、流体透過性の表面シート(8)と、流体不透過性の背面シート(9)と、表面シート(8)と背面シート(9)との間に位置する吸収コア(10)とを備える、吸収物品に関する。吸収コア(10)は、それを通じて延在する開口部(12)を有する第1の吸収層(11)と、第1の吸収層(11)と背面シート(9)との間に位置する流体流れ制御構造(13)と、を備える。弾性部材(16)は、吸収物品(1)の各長手方向側縁部(2,3)に沿って配置される。第1の吸収層(11)は、長手方向前方部分(6)と、長手方向後方部分(7)と、長手方向前方部分(6)と長手方向後方部分(7)との間に位置した横断方向移行部(14)と、を有する。狭い横断方向移行部(14)の幅は、第1の吸収層(11)の前方部分(6)の最も広い横断方向の幅の50~75%とされ、開口部(12)の長手方向の長さの20~5
