The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent article which imparts an appropriate cool-feeling effect immediately and for a long period of time. The absorbent article according to the present disclosure has the following configuration. The absorbent article (1) is provided with a skin-contact sheet (17), a clothing-contact sheet (21), and microcapsules (55) including a cool-feeling component therein, and is characterized in that: the skin-contact sheet (17) includes a fabric including a fiber the fiber density of the fiber on a skin-contact surface (15) side of the skin-contact sheet (17) is higher than the fiber density of the fiber on a non-skin-contact surface (57) side of the skin contact sheet (17) the skin-contact sheet (17) includes the microcapsules (55) therein and the number density of the microcapsules (55) on the skin-contact surface (15) side of the skin-contact sheet (17) is lower than the number density of the microcapsules (55) on the non-skin-contact surface (57) side of the skin-contact sheet (17).本發明,是提供一種早期且長時間賦予適度冷感作用的吸收性物品作為目的。本發明的吸收性物品,是具有以下的構成。吸收性物品(1),係具備有:肌膚抵接薄片(17)、著衣抵接薄片(21)、內含冷感成分的微膠囊(55)之吸收性物品(1),其特徵為:肌膚抵接薄片(17)包含含有纖維的布料,肌膚抵接薄片(17)的肌膚抵接面(15)側的上述纖維的纖維密度較肌膚抵接薄片(17)的非肌膚抵接面(57)側的上述纖維的纖維密度更高,而且,肌膚抵接薄片(17)在其內部含有微膠囊(55),肌膚抵接薄片(17)的肌膚抵接面(15)側的微膠囊(55)的個數密度較肌膚抵接薄片(17)的非肌膚抵接面(57)側的微膠囊(55)的個數密度更低。1‧‧‧吸收性物品3‧‧‧吸收性物品本體部5‧‧‧側翼部7‧‧‧臀翼部9‧‧‧液透過性薄片15‧‧‧肌膚抵接面17‧‧‧肌膚抵接薄片29‧‧‧壓榨部31‧‧‧壓榨部33‧‧‧壓榨部35‧‧‧開口部37‧‧‧密封部39‧‧‧密封部41‧‧‧翻折部51‧‧‧微膠囊存在區域53‧‧‧微膠囊存在區域
