An absorbent member (4) contains a hydrophobic material subjected to hydrophilic treatment, and a plurality of through holes (7), which pass through the absorbent member (4) in a thickness direction, are formed at a portion of the absorbent member (4) that is located in a target region (P). Further, the absorbent member has a layer-stacked structure in which a plurality of layers (5, 6) are stacked in the thickness direction, and the Klemm water absorption height, which is measured according to JIS P8141, of a lower layer (6), which is most proximal to the backsheet (3), of the layer-stacked structure is higher than that of an upper layer (5) that is most proximal to the topsheet (2). The backsheet (3) contains a moisture permeable film that includes a plurality of microvoids, and has water repellent portions (30), formed by water repellent finishing, on a portion located in the target region (P) of a skin-facing surface (3a) of the moisture permeable film. A ratio of the total area of portions on which the water repellent finishing is performed to the area of the target region (P) is in the range of from 30% to 60%. The target region of the invention has a center on a portion (target portion) of the absorbent article facing the excretory part (a vaginal opening or the like) of the wearer and has a rectangular shape having a length of 70 mm in the longitudinal direction X and a length of 30 mm in the lateral direction Y in plan view. The target portion is present at a center of the absorbent article.
