The present invention relates to an absorbent material (1) on which an absorbent body pressing part (90) pressed in a thickness direction of an absorbent body (30) is disposed, and a plurality of surface sheet pressing parts (80) pressed in a thickness direction of a surface sheet (10) are intermittently disposed. The absorbent body has small areas (31) partitioned by the absorbent body pressing part. The surface sheet pressing part overlaps with each of the small areas in the thickness direction. Each of the small areas has a first small area (31A) and a second small area (31B). Here, an arrangement pattern of the surface sheet pressing part overlapping with the first small area and an arrangement pattern of the surface sheet overlapping with the second small area are different from each other.
