• the absorbent article comprises an embossed region including a pair of embossed sections and a non-embossed section situated between them,
• each of the pair of embossed sections has the absorbent body embossed but does not have the colored layer embossed,
• the non-embossed section does not have the absorbent body and colored layer embossed, and
• in the embossed region, thicknesses of embossed section-forming portions of the absorbent body forming each of the pair of embossed sections are smaller than a thickness of a non-embossed section-forming portion of the absorbent body forming the non-embossed section,
• the absorbent body comprises an absorbent core including pulp fibers and a polymer absorbent, and in the absorbent core, a mass ratio of the pulp fibers of the embossed section-forming portions of the absorbent core forming each of the pair of embossed sections is higher than a mass ratio of the pulp fibers of the non-embossed section-forming portion of the absorbent core forming the non-embossed section.
