The objective of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent article ( 1 ) having a high fiber density region ( 7 ) in which absorbed menstrual blood is not easily retained, so that after menstrual blood has been absorbed, feelings of stickiness are not easily caused on a top sheet ( 2 ), and the top sheet ( 2 ) remains dry. The absorbent article ( 1 ) of the present disclosure has a liquid-permeable top sheet ( 2 ), a liquid-impermeable back sheet ( 6 ), and an absorbent body ( 3 ). The absorbent article ( 1 ) is characterized by: the top sheet ( 2 ) having, in an excretory orifice contact region (A), a high fiber density region ( 7 ) and a low fiber density region ( 8 ); the top sheet ( 2 ) containing, in the excretory orifice contact region (A), a prescribed blood lubricating agent ( 9 ); and the basis weight of the blood lubricating agent ( 9 ) in the high fiber density region ( 7 ) being larger than the basis weight of the blood lubricating agent ( 9 ) in the low fiber density region ( 8 ). |
