Disclosed is an absorbent article having an absorbent member. The absorbent member has an absorbent core wrapped in a sheet of a fibrous material. The absorbent core contains a web of hydrophilic, crimped continuous fibers and a superabsorbent polymer which is embeddedly supported in the web. The continuous fibers are preferably oriented in the planar direction of the absorbent member. Also disclosed is an absorbent article having an absorbent member, in which a web of hydrophilic, crimped continuous fibers and a fiber accumulated layer or a nonwoven fabric are superposed on each other. The fiber accumulated layer and the nonwoven fabric are made of natural pulp and/or synthetic fibers and may or may not contain a superabsorbent polymer. The continuous fibers are oriented in the planar direction of the absorbent member.
