An absorber (4) of this absorbent article (1) includes an absorbent core (40) and a covering sheet (44) that covers the absorbent core (40). The absorbent core (40) contains a superabsorbent polymer. The superabsorbent polymer contains an antimicrobial agent. The covering sheet (44) contains a fragrance. The surface of the absorbent core (40) preferably has a polymer-free region without any superabsorbent polymer. It is also preferable for one layer of covering sheet (44) to be used to cover the absorbent core (40) such that the left and right side edge regions thereof overlap each other to form an overlapping portion, thereby covering the skin facing surface, the non-skin facing surface, and both side surfaces of the absorbent core (40) with the covering sheet (44).本發明之吸收性物品(1)之吸收體(4)包含吸收性芯體(40)與被覆其之被覆片材(44)。於吸收性芯體(40)中包含高吸收性聚合物。於高吸收性聚合物中包含抗菌劑。於被覆片材(44)中包含香料。較佳為於吸收性芯體(40)之表面具有不存在高吸收性聚合物之聚合物非存在區域。亦較佳為使用1片被覆片材(44),使被覆片材(44)以其左右之側緣區域相互重疊而形成重疊部之方式被覆吸收性芯體(40),藉此吸收性芯體(40)之肌膚對向面、非肌膚對向面及兩側面經被覆片材(44)被覆。1‧‧‧吸收性物品1a‧‧‧吸收性物品之側緣2‧‧‧正面片材3‧‧‧背面片材4‧‧‧吸收體5‧‧‧立體褶皺6‧‧‧撥水性片材7‧‧‧壓縮槽10‧‧‧黏著劑層40‧‧‧吸收性芯體40S‧‧‧吸收性芯體之側面41‧‧‧高基重部42‧‧‧低基重部44‧‧‧被覆片材44A‧‧‧重疊部46‧‧‧空間53‧‧‧固定端部61‧‧‧彈性構件62‧‧‧立體褶皺之自由端部Y‧‧‧寬度方向Z‧‧‧厚度方向
