The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent article that can be made smaller because the crown section continues to fit the wearer's excretory opening, which has a complex shape, both when dry before absorbing menstrual blood and when wet after absorbing menstrual blood, and with which leakage does not occur easily. This absorbent article is as follows: The absorbent article ( 1 ), which comprises a liquid-permeable top sheet ( 4 ), a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and a specified absorbent ( 7 ) between the liquid permeable top sheet ( 4 ) and the liquid-impermeable back sheet, is characterized in that: the absorbent article ( 1 ) has a crown section ( 2 ), which protrudes in the thickness direction of the absorbent article ( 1 ) in the region that is in contact with the excretory opening and comprises a specified cushion section; and in the central section, the crown section ( 2 ) has a compression workload (WC) of 10-50 (N·m/m 2 ) and a compression resilience (RC) of 35-100%. |
