PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which can more efficiently suppress liquid remaining on and liquid returning to a surface sheet, with which the body is hardly sticky, and further, which quickly deals with a case when a large amount of body fluid is excreted at a time, and fits on the body of a wearer, and has superior flexibility to follow the motion of the body well.SOLUTION: The absorbent article includes a front surface sheet on the skin abutment side, a rear surface sheet on the non-skin abutment side, and an absorber interposed between both the sheets. The absorbent article has a high basis-weight region and a relatively lower basis-weight region compared with the high basis-weight region, and the low basis-weight region is arranged in a planar direction to surround the high basis-weight region, and the surface sheet has a plurality of ridge protruding parts formed at the skin abutment side, and in the planar view of the surface sheet, a recessed part between the protruding parts is formed with a portion containing a less fiber amount or with holes passing through to the thick direction of the surface sheet.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】表面シートへの液残りや液戻りをより一層効果的に抑制することによりムレにくくし、さらに体液の排泄がいっきに多くあったときにすばやく対応可能であり、かつ着用者の身体にフィットし、その動きによく追随する柔軟性に優れる吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】肌当接面側に配置される液透過性の表面シート、非肌当接面側に配置される裏面シート、及び該両シートの間に配置される吸収体を有する吸収性物品であって、前記吸収体には高坪量領域と、該高坪量領域より相対的に坪量が低い低坪量領域とを有しており、前記低坪量領域が前記高坪量領域を囲むようにして平面方向に配置され、前記表面シートは肌当接面側に形成された複数の畝状の突部を有しており、前記表面シートの平面視において該突部の間の窪みには繊維量の少ない部分又は前記表面シートの厚み方向に通ずる開孔が形成されている吸収性物品。【選択図】図1
