The present invention addresses the problem of providing an absorptive article less likely to allow bodily fluid, which has been discharged from the wearer, to leak from the absorptive article. To solve the problem, this absorptive article (1) comprises: a liquid permeable front surface sheet (20) a liquid impermeable rear surface sheet (30) provided at a position facing the front surface sheet (20) an absorption body (40) provided between the front surface sheet (20) and the rear surface sheet (30) and a second sheet (50) provided between the front surface sheet (20) and the absorption body (40). Recesses (70) extending from the front surface sheet (20) to the inside of the second sheet (50) are formed by heating and compression in the thickness direction. The fibers of the front surface sheet (20) are thermo-plastically deformed in the recesses (70). The linear shape of the fibers of the front surface sheet (20) is maintained at the bottoms of the recesses (70). The front surface sheet (20) is joined to the second sheet using an adhesive agent, and the second sheet (50) includes air-laid nonwoven fabric containing pulp.本發明的課題係在於提供自穿用者所排出的體液更不易洩漏之吸收性物品。為了解決此課題,本發明的吸收性物品(1)係具備有:透液性的表面薄片(20);設在與表面薄片(20)相對向的位置之不透液性的裏面薄片(30);設在表面薄片(20)及裏面薄片(30)之間的吸收體(40);及設在表面薄片(20)及吸收體(40)之間的第二薄片(50),朝厚度方向進行加熱壓縮,形成從表面薄片(20)到第二薄片(50)的內部之複數個凹部(70),在凹部(70),表面薄片(20)的纖維係熱可塑變形,且在凹部(70)的底部,表面薄片(20)的纖維的線狀形狀被維持著,表面薄片(20)係使用接著劑與第二薄片接合,第二薄片(50)係包含具有紙漿之氣流成網不織布。1‧‧‧吸收性物品11‧‧‧翼片部12‧‧‧密封部14‧‧‧本體部15‧‧‧側邊16‧‧‧側邊17‧‧‧線20‧‧‧表面薄片40‧‧‧吸收體60‧‧‧側薄片61‧‧‧與表面薄片重疊的區域70‧‧‧凹部
