To provide a top sheet for an absorbent article having an irregular surface structure, which allows body fluids to smoothly migrate from the top sheet to the absorber without accumulating and spreading on the top sheet, and which has minimal reverse flow of fluids and eliminates leakage and the fear of leakage, the top sheet for an absorbent article has a plurality of fused compressed sections, wherein the fused compressed sections are located on the lowermost side in the thickness direction of the top sheet, and the back side of the top sheet has recesses or low density regions having the lowest density within the top sheet, surrounding the fused compressed sections. The top sheet for an absorbent article having a plurality of fused compressed sections can be produced by a process wherein a top sheet is situated between a member with multiple protrusions and a member with multiple recesses that engage with the multiple protrusions, and the protrusions are pressed into the recesses.為了提供一種具有凹凸表面構造的吸收性物品用表面薄片,不會讓體液在表面薄片上滯留或擴散,而能順利地從表面薄片轉移到吸收體,回滲量少,而不用擔心滲漏且不致發生滲漏。具有複數個熔合壓縮部的吸收性物品用表面薄片,其特徵在於:熔合壓縮部是位於表面薄片的厚度方向最下面,在表面薄片的背面,以包圍熔合壓縮部的方式存在著凹部或是在表面薄片內密度最低的低密度區域。該具有複數個熔合壓縮部的吸收性物品用表面薄片,是將表面薄片配置在具有複數個凸部的構件和具有複數個凹部(與該複數個凸部嚙合)的構件之間,並將該凸部壓入該凹部而製造出。1...表面薄片2...熔合壓縮部3...凹部18...熔合壓縮部的表面薄片背面側的面20...非熔合壓縮部的表面薄片背面的最下部
