To provide an absorbent article that is easy to pull up when wearing and can secure space for absorption of bodily fluids. [Solution] An absorbent article (10) includes an absorbent core (31) and side flaps (15) that extend outward of the absorbent core in the width direction. The total length, in the front-rear direction, of the absorbent core is divided into three so as to comprise a region, a crotch region, and a rear region. In the crotch region, the side flaps have a dimension of 30 mm or longer in the width direction. The crotch region (R13) has a center region (R13C) and side regions (R13S) that are positioned outside both sides of the center region in the width direction. Both outside edges of the center region have low basis-weight portions (33) provided along the front-rear direction. The center region has a front-rear contractive force that is higher than the front-rear contractive force of the side regions.[課題]提供一種穿戴時容易拉起，且可確保體液的吸收面積的吸收性物品。[解決手段]吸收性物品(10)具備有：吸收芯(31)、以及較吸收芯更朝寬邊方向的外側延伸出的側翼(15)。吸收芯具有將吸收芯的前後方向的全長3等分的前側域、胯下域及後側域。胯下域中的側翼的寬邊方向的長度在30mm以上。胯下域(R13)具有：中央區域(R13C)、以及位在較中央區域更靠寬邊方向的兩外側的側區域(R13S)。在中央區域的兩側的外側緣，低基重部(33)沿著前後方向而設。中央區域的前後方向的收縮力比側區域的前後方向的收縮力更高。
