PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disposable absorptive article having high ventilation performance during wearing and hardly causing stuffiness.SOLUTION: The absorptive article is formed by interposing a multi-layer absorptive body between a liquid permeable top sheet 1 disposed on the surface side and a liquid impermeable back sheet 2 disposed on the back face side. The multi-layer absorptive body includes an upper absorptive layer 3A and a lower absorptive layer 3B and the upper absorptive layer 3A forms the uppermost layer. The upper and lower absorptive layers 3A, 3B are formed of a number of juxtaposed elongated shape absorptive bodies 31, 32, respectively. The lower absorptive layer 3B is disposed just under the upper absorptive layer 3A. The elongated shape absorptive bodies 31 composing the upper absorptive layer 3A and the elongated shape absorptive bodies 32 composing the lower absorptive layer 3B are disposed so as to cross each other.
