PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article capable of reducing a shift of a friction reducing agent to a skin of a wearer so as to reduce stains, and further reducing friction between a front face of the absorbent article and the skin of the wearer.SOLUTION: An absorbent article includes an absorbent core interposed between at least two sheets on a skin contact surface side and a non-skin contact surface side. The skin contact surface side sheet is composed of a hydrophilic fiber, and at least a part of the skin contact surface side sheet contains a friction reducing agent. The friction reducing agent is composed of a mixture containing saturated hydrocarbon and a friction coefficient improver, and is semisolid at 23°C. A contained basis weight of the friction reducing agent in the skin contact surface side sheet is less than 0.4 g/m, and a friction coefficient of the part containing the friction reducing agent is 40% or less of a friction coefficient of a part not containing the friction reducing agent, and is less than 0.15. The amount of a shift of the friction reducing agent to the skin is 0.01 mg/cmor less.
