PROBLEMIn an absorbent article including a concave groove formed in an upper surface along a longitudinal direction, a deformation of the concave groove when being worn is prevented, and a body fluid is made easy to distribute in the longitudinal direction of the groove.PROBLEM TO BE SOLVEDThere is provided an incontinence pad including an absorbent body (4) provided between a liquid permeable topsheet (3) and a backsheet (5), a concave groove (22) formed in a surface of the absorbent body (4) on the liquid permeable topsheet (3) side and extending along an approximately longitudinal direction of the groove, and a highly compressed portion (23) formed in a bottom surface of the concave groove (22). The highly compressed portion (23) includes a slanted element (25) in a unit portion (24) formed by dividing the concave groove (22) in a longitudinal direction thereof and crossing the concave groove from one side edge to the other side edge, and is formed into a pattern obtained by repeatedly inverting the highly compressed portion of the unit portion in the longitudinal direction.
