Absorbent article with cover nonwoven fabric having improved air permeability

An absorbent article, comprising an absorber, a liquid impervious sheet covering a back surface side of the absorber and having air permeability, and a cover nonwoven fabric covering a back surface side of the liquid impervious sheet,

• wherein the cover nonwoven fabric is provided with a plurality of holes penetrating a front surface and a back surface at intervals at least in a region overlapping with the liquid impervious sheet, and wherein a shape of each of the plurality of holes is elongated in a front-back direction,
• wherein an edge portion of each of the plurality of holes bends up toward a front surface side, each edge portion including a highest opposing portion having a highest bending-up height and a lowest opposing portion being orthogonal in an opposing direction to the highest opposing portion and having a lowest bending-up height,
• wherein, in a region having the plurality of holes in the cover nonwoven fabric, rows of the plurality of holes, which are aligned in the front-back direction at intervals in the front-back direction being narrower than front-back direction dimensions of the plurality of holes, are repeatedly formed at predetermined intervals in a width direction, and intervals of the plurality of holes in the width direction are wider than the front back-direction dimensions of the plurality of holes,
• wherein a maximum dimension in a longitudinal direction of each of the plurality of holes is 0.5 to 1.8 mm, a maximum dimension in a direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is 0.5 to 1.5 mm, and the maximum dimension in the longitudinal direction is 1.0 to 2.5 times the maximum dimension in the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction,
• wherein an area rate of the plurality of holes is 0.5 to 2.5%, and
• wherein each of the highest bending-up height and the lowest bending-up height is 0.15 to 1.0 mm, and the highest bending-up height is 1.1 to 1.4 times the lowest bending-up height.
