The purpose of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article that is unlikely to become sticky in the excretory orifice contact area of a top sheet after having absorbed menstrual blood, that has a silky feel, and that is unlikely to contaminate a production line and other absorbent articles. 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 excretory orifice contact area of the liquid-permeable top sheet (2) has an area (7) 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 and in that the amount of the blood lubricity-imparting agent on the clothing-side surface (11) of the top sheet (2) is greater than the amount of the blood lubricity-imparting agent on the skin-side surface (10) of the top sheet (2) at a location in the area (7) containing the blood lubricity-imparting agent where said surfaces overlap in the thickness direction of the absorbent article (1).La présente invention vise à proposer un article absorbant, qui a peu de chances de devenir collant dans la zone de contact dorifice excréteur dune feuille supérieure après avoir absorbé du sang menstruel, qui a un toucher soyeux et qui a peu de chances de contaminer une chaîne de production et dautres articles absorbants. Larticle absorbant de la présente invention a la configuration indiquée ci-dessous. Larticle absorbant (1) comprend une feuille supérieure perméable aux liquides (2), une feuille arrière imperméable aux liquides (8) et un corps absorbant (3) qui est agencé entre la feuille supérieure (2) et la feuille arrière (8), et est caractér
