An absorbent structure that includes a first region, a second region and a central region extending between the first and second regions, the first region and part of the central region are formed with a thick segment. The second region is formed with a thin segment having a thickness dimension smaller than that of the thick segment. Between the thick segment and the thin segment, a thickness-sloped segment having a thickness dimension gradually reduced from the side of the first region toward the second region and the thin segment and at least a region of the thickness-sloped segment being adjacent to the thin segment are debossed.
