An absorbent article is provided, which effectively utilizes the entire absorber by quickly diffusing a body fluid, and reduces discomfort in a wearer by suppressing unpleasant dampness and twisting after absorption of the body fluid. An absorbent article of the present invention includes a liquid permeable top surface sheet, a liquid impermeable back surface sheet, and an absorber disposed between the top surface sheet and the back surface sheet. A top surface sheet side of the absorbent article is provided with extending a plurality of compressed lines in each of which a plurality of recess portions formed by compressing the top surface sheet and the absorber are arranged. The plurality of compressed lines form intersection regions where the compressed lines intersect with each other. The compressed recess portions are not formed in the intersection regions.本發明提供一種使體液快速擴散而有效活用吸收體整體,且抑制體液吸收後之悶熱或歪扭,而降低穿著者之不適感之吸收性物品。本發明之吸收性物品(10)包含:透液性之正面片材(14)、不透液性之背面片材(12)、及配置於正面片材(14)與背面片材(12)之間之吸收體(13);且於正面片材(14)側,延伸有複數行排列有複數個將正面片材(14)與吸收體(13)壓縮而成之凹部(22)之壓縮行(23);複數個壓縮行(23)形成相互交叉之交叉區域(21D);於交叉區域(21D),未形成有壓縮成之凹部(22)。
