An absorbent article (1) having formed therein: a plurality of first compression sections (23) along the outer perimeter of a first region (R1) including the center of an excretory orifice contact region and a plurality of second compression sections (24) in a second region (R2) further on the outside in the longitudinal direction than the first region, and spaced at wider intervals than the first compression sections. The first compression sections and the second compression sections comprise: bottom sections (23A, 24A) positioned on the clothing contact surface side in the thickness direction and wall sections (23B, 24B) extending from the surrounds of the bottom sections towards the skin contact surface side. A plurality of colored sections (12) are provided in a second sheet or a surface sheet. The interval between the colored sections differs from the interval between the first compression sections and also differs from the interval between the second compression sections. The surface area of the compression sections is configured to be smaller than the surface area of the colored sections some of the compression sections are arranged overlapping the colored sections and the other compression sections are arranged displaced from the colored sections.Cette invention concerne un article absorbant (1) comportant plusieurs zones de compression principales (23) disposées à la circonférence dune première zone (R1) incluant le centre dune zone de contact avec un orifice dexcrétion, et plusieurs zones de compression secondaires (24) disposées dans une deuxième zone (R2) plus éloignée dans le sens longitudinal que la première zone, lesdites zones de compression secondaires étant plus écartées les unes des autres que les zones de compression principales. Les zones de compression principales et les zones de compression secondaires comportent des sections inférieures (23A, 24A) qui sont situées sur la face de contact textile dans le sens de lépaisseur, et des sections laté
