An absorbent article having an orthogonal longitudinal direction and a transverse direction, comprising: a ventral side exterior member, a dorsal side exterior member, and an absorbent body for absorbing excrement, one end side of which is provided on a part of the ventral side exterior member , And the other end side is joined to a part of the back side exterior member so as to be overlapped with each other, wherein the ventral side exterior member and the dorsal side exterior member have the absorbent main body A lower region which does not overlap with the absorbent main body in the transverse direction and an upper region which does not overlap with the absorbent main body in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction and the ventral side exterior member and Wherein at least one of the back side exterior member has linear cuts having a predetermined length in the lateral direction and passing through the one exterior member at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction, The total length of the linear cuts in the upper region is defined as the length Divided by the in the longitudinal length of the band, the total length of the linear cuts of the lower region, less than the value obtained by dividing by the longitudinal length of the lower region.直交する縦方向と横方向とを有する吸収性物品であって、腹側外装部材と、背側外装部材と、排泄物を吸収する吸収体を備え、一端側が前記腹側外装部材の一部に、他端側が前記背側外装部材の一部にそれぞれ重ねて接合された吸収性本体と、を有し、前記腹側外装部材及び前記背側外装部材は、前記縦方向にて前記吸収性本体と重複し、前記横方向にて前記吸収性本体と重複しない下方領域と、前記縦方向及び前記横方向にて前記吸収性本体と重複しない上方領域とをそれぞれ有し、前記腹側外装部材及び前記背側外装部材の少なくとも一方に、前記横方向に所定の長さを有し前記一方の外装部材を貫通する線状の切れ目が、前記縦方向及び前記横方向に所定の間隔で設けられ、前記上方領域の前記線状の切れ目の合計の長さを、前記上方領域の前記縦方向の長さで除した値は、前記下方領域の前記線状の切れ目の合計の長さを、前記下方領域の前記縦方向の長さで除した値より小さい。
