PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which prevents return and uses a cotton fiber on a surface sheet, capable of reducing water retention of the surface sheet as much as possible.SOLUTION: There is provided an incontinence pad 1 for a medium volume or more for absorbing 20 cc or more of a urine volume. A surface sheet 3 is configured so that a water repellent is coated to a spunlace nonwoven fabric formed of 100 mass% of a cotton fiber. Plural first recess part lines 20 which are along a prescribed inclination angle direction and formed with a constant interval in a pad longitudinal direction, and plural second recess part lines 21 which are along an inclination angle direction in which the first recess part lines 20 are reversed in a width direction on a pad longitudinal direction line, and formed with a constant interval in the pad longitudinal direction, form diamond-shaped lattice pattern recessed part lines 20, 21, on a skin facing surface side in plane view. Definition areas 22 which have a diamond-shaped lattice shape which are divided by the recess part lines 20, 21 are adjacently arranged in the pad longitudinal direction and the width direction. Plural apertures 10 penetrating a front surface and a back surface are formed on at least an excreting part corresponding part H.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4【課題】逆戻りを防止するとともに、表面シートに綿繊維を用いた吸収性物品において、表面シートの保水を極力低減する。【解決手段】尿量20cc以上を吸収する中量用以上の失禁パッド1であり、表面シート3は、綿繊維100重量%からなるスパンレース不織布に撥水剤が塗布されてなる。肌対向面側に、平面視で、所定の傾斜角度方向に沿うとともに、パッド長手方向に一定間隔で形成された多数の第1の凹部線20と、第1の凹部線20をパッド長手方向線で幅方向に反転させた傾斜角度方向に沿うとともに、パッド長手方向に一定間隔で形成された多数の第2の凹部線21とにより菱形格子状パターンの凹部線20、21が形成されるとともに、これら凹部線20、21によって区画された菱形格子形状の画成領域22がパッド長手方向及び幅方向に隣接配置されている。また、少なくとも排泄口対応部分Hに表裏を貫通する多数の開孔10が形成されている。【選択図】図4
