An absorbent article has a planar direction and a thickness direction. The absorbent article includes a volatile first functional component, a volatile second functional component, water-disintegrable microcapsules that contain the second functional component, and a solvent that keeps the second functional component contained inside the microcapsules. Between a liquid-permeable layer and an absorption layer, the absorbent article has functional composition coated regions that extend in the planar direction and that are coated with the functional composition, and has adhesive coated regions that extend in the planar direction and that are coated with an adhesive. The adhesive coated regions have an adhesive region that directly or indirectly joins the liquid-permeable payer and the absorption layer.

Absorbent article

An absorbent article that has a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorber, and a liquid-permeable top-layer sheet is joined with a skin contact surface side of the topsheet. The top-layer sheet is arranged along a lengthwise direction in a central portion of a widthwise direction of the absorbent article, and non-joined regions that are not joined with the topsheet are provided at both widthwise ends of the top-layer sheet. A compressing portion in which at least the topsheet and the absorber are compressed in the thickness-wise direction, is formed around the non-joined region.
