The purpose of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article that has a silky top sheet and that is unlikely to become sticky at the excretory orifice contact area of the top sheet after having absorbed menstrual blood. The absorbent article of the present invention has the configuration indicated below. The absorbent article (1) comprises a liquid-permeable top sheet (2), a liquid-impermeable back sheet (8), and an absorbent body (3) that is arranged between the top sheet (2) and the back sheet (8), and is characterized in that: the liquid-permeable top sheet (2) comprises a plurality of protrusions (9) in the excretory orifice contact area the protrusions (9) have an angle (&thetas) of 36-80° relative to the planar direction of the absorbent article (1) and in that at least the protrusions (9) in the excretory contact area of the liquid-permeable top sheet (2) comprise an area containing a blood lubricity-imparting agent, said blood lubricity- imparting agent having a kinematic viscosity of 0.01-80 mm2/s at 40 °C, a water hold percentage of 0.01-4.0 mass%, and a weight average molecular weight of less than 1,000.
