Absorbent article

Abstract

The present invention prevents an absorbent body from twisting and splitting while maintaining the capability of fitting onto the buttocks of a wearer even when the absorbent body has a low fabric weight. The absorbent body (4) has a large number of compressed parts (20, 20, . . . ) formed in a region other than a region that extends in a widthwise center section along the longitudinal direction and includes portions corresponding to a body fluid excretion part (H) and the intergluteal cleft of the wearer. A region including a portion corresponding to the intergluteal cleft is an easily deformable region (21) without compressed parts (20). The easily deformable region (21) extends to an intermediate position in the longitudinal direction and does not reach the rear end of the absorbent body (4). The region extending behind the easily deformable region (21) to the rear end of the absorbent body (4) has compressed parts (20) formed thereon.
