This absorbent article (10) comprises a liquid-permeable top sheet (14), a liquid-impermeable back sheet (12), and an absorber (13) disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet. The absorbent article (10) further comprises a first recessed portion (20a) which is formed on a surface of the absorber opposing the top sheet and extends along a first direction, and a second recessed portion (20b) which is formed on the surface of the absorber opposing the top sheet so as to intersect the first recessed portion and extends along a second direction that is different from the first direction. The first recessed portion and the second recessed portion each have a first region (201) where the depth from the surface of the absorber to the bottom of the recessed portion is shallow, and a second region (202) where the depth from the surface of the absorber to the bottom of the recessed portion is deeper than the first region.本發明係提供一種吸收性物品(10)，其具有透液性之表層片(14)、不透液性之底層片(12)、及配置於表層片與底層片之間之吸收體(13)，並具有：第1凹部(20a)，其係形成於與表層片對向之吸收體之表面且沿第1方向延伸者；第2凹部(20b)，其係相對於第1凹部以交叉狀態形成於與表層片對向之吸收體之表面且沿與第1方向不同之第2方向延伸者；且第1凹部及第2凹部分別具有第1區域(201)及第2區域(202)，第1區域(201)係自吸收體之表面至其底面之深度淺者，第2區域(202)係與該第1區域相比自吸收體之表面至其底面之深度深者。
