An absorbent article includes a liquid permeable topsheet ( 10 ), a liquid impermeable or water repellent backsheet, and an absorbent member interposed between these sheets. The topsheet ( 10 ) is formed of a nonwoven sheet having high density portions ( 13 A) and low density portions ( 14 A). Each high density portion ( 13 A) and each low density portion ( 14 A) are different in density from each other. The high density portions ( 13 A) and the low density portions ( 14 A) are arranged in planar directions of the topsheet ( 10 ). The low density portions ( 14 A) have a larger amount of a skin care agent ( 5 ) applied thereto than the high density portions ( 13 A). |
