An absorptive article deformed into a stable shape to improve easiness of contact with skin, reducing leakage of bodily fluid etc. The absorptive article has a top sheet (2) at least a portion of which is liquid permeable and that is placed on the clothing contact surface side, a liquid non-permeable back sheet (3) placed on the skin contact surface side, and a liquid retainable absorptive body (4) placed between the top sheet (2) and the back sheet (3). The absorptive body (4) has a compression groove section formed, when compressed from the skin contact surface side to the clothing contact surface side, into a recessed shape recessed on the skin contact surface side, toward the clothing contact surface side, and the absorptive body (4) also has a space section formed, when compressed from the clothing contact surface side to the skin contact surface side, into a projected shape projected on the clothing contact surface side, toward the skin contact surface side. The space section isformed on each of both sides of or on one side of a groove back section located on the opposite side of the compression groove section on the skin contact surface side.
