A surface sheet (1) for an absorptive article is constructed by forming on a non-woven fabric (2) a front surface section (3) and a large number of liquid introduction depressions (4). The front surface section (3) has a front surface (31) coming into contact with a wearers skin. The large number of liquid introduction depressions (4) each have a front surface (41) that is the depressed side and rear surface (42) that is the protruded side protruded toward an absorptive body. Each liquid introduction depression (4) has a peripheral wall section (43) and a bottom surface section (44). The bottom surface section (44) is located closer to the absorptive body than a rear surface (32) of the front surface section (3). The thickness (Ta) of the peripheral wall section (43) at a portion (A) adjacent to the bottom surface section (44) is less than the thickness (T1) of the front surface section (3).本發明之吸收性物品之正面片材(1)係於不織布(2)上形成正面部(3)與多個導液凹部(4)而成者,其中正面部(3)之正面(31)側接觸肌膚,導液凹部(4)之正面(41)側形成凹狀而背面(42)側朝向吸收體側突出。導液凹部(4)具有周壁部(43)及底面部(44),底面部(44)位於比正面部(3)之背面(32)更靠近吸收體側,周壁部(43)之鄰接於底面部(44)之部位(A)之厚度(Ta)小於正面部(3)之厚度(Tl)。3‧‧‧正面部4‧‧‧導液凹部31‧‧‧正面部之正面32‧‧‧正面部之背面41‧‧‧導液凹部之正面42‧‧‧導液凹部之背面43‧‧‧周壁部44‧‧‧底面部A‧‧‧周壁部中之鄰接底面部之部位B‧‧‧正面部鄰接部位T、Tl、Ta、Tb‧‧‧厚度W1‧‧‧開口部之直徑W2‧‧‧底面部之直徑Z‧‧‧厚度方向
