The present invention provides an absorbent article including a top surface sheet which is not liable to impart unpleasant stimulation to the skin of a wearer, and which has an excellent feel. In an absorbent article according to the present invention, a top surface sheet (2) is provided with a first fiber layer (2a) which includes water-retentive fibers (F1), and which forms a top surface of the top surface sheet (2) on a skin side thereof, and a second fiber layer (2b) which includes thermoplastic resin fibers (F2) and water-retentive fibers (F1), which is adjacent to a non-skin side of the first fiber layer (2a), and which forms a top surface of the top surface sheet (2) on the non-skin side thereof, wherein: the proportion of water-retentive fibers (F1) among the fibers forming the first fiber layer (2a) is greater than the proportion of water-retentive fibers (F1) among the fibers forming the second fiber layer (2b)； and at least a portion of the water-retentive fibers (F1) contained in the first fiber layer (2a) are covered by melted material (F2M) of the thermoplastic resin fibers (F2), in at least a portion of an entangled part (PE) in which the fibers are entangled.本發明在提供含有不易對裝用者的肌膚造成不舒適的刺激，對肌膚觸感優的表面薄片的吸收性物品者。本發明的吸收性物品，其表面薄片(2)具備：第1纖維層(2a)，其包含保水性纖維(F1)，且形成表面薄片(2)的肌膚側的表面；以及第2纖維層(2b)，其包含熱可塑性樹脂纖維(F2)與保水性纖維(F1)，且鄰接於第1纖維層(2a)的非肌膚側，形成表面薄片(2)的非肌膚側的表面，構成前述第1纖維層(2a)的纖維中的保水性纖維(F1)的比例比構成前述第2纖維層(2b)的纖維中的保水性纖維(F1)的比例更多，前述第1纖維層(2a)所含的至少一部分的前述保水性纖維(F1)在纖維彼此的交絡部分(PE)中的至少一部分的交絡部分(PE)，藉由前述熱可塑性樹脂纖維(F2)的熔融物(F2M)被被覆。
