The present invention provides an absorbent article (1) comprising a front sheet (2), a back sheet (3) and an absorber (4) disposed between the two sheets, and has a longitudinal direction (X) and a transverse direction (Y). The absorber (4) includes, as structural members, absorptive sheets (401), (402) including a fiber material. The absorbent body (4) has a laminated structure including, at least in the central portion of the absorbent body (4) in the transverse direction Y, a front-side absorbent sheet (41) located on the skin-facing surface side, a back-side absorbent sheet (42) located on the non-skin-facing surface side, and a central absorbent portion (43) located between the two sheets. The central absorbent portion (43) has, in the thickness direction thereof, a first region (E) and a second region (F) in which the density of the fiber material is higher than that of the first region (E), and an antimicrobial agent (8) is disposed in the second region (F).本發明係一種吸收性物品(1),其具備正面片材(2)、背面片材(3)及配置於該等兩片材間之吸收體(4),且具有縱向(X)及橫向(Y)。吸收體(4)包含含有纖維材料之吸收性片材(401)、(402)作為構成構件。吸收體(4)於吸收體(4)之橫向Y之至少中央部具有積層構造,該積層構造包含位於肌膚對向面側之正面側吸收性片材(41)、位於非肌膚對向面側之背面側吸收性片材(42)及位於該等兩片材間之中央吸收部(43)。中央吸收部(43)於其厚度方向上具有第1區域(E)及纖維材料之密度高於第1區域(E)之第2區域(F),於第2區域(F)配置有抗菌劑(8)。
