Abstract
Disclosed is an absorbent article including a projecting-and-depressed sheet () as a constituent member, the absorbent article having a longitudinal direction and a width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction. The projecting-and-depressed sheet () has a plurality of depressions () and projections () on a skin-facing surface to be brought into contact with the wearer's skin. In a given direction, a movable range of an apex () of the projection () of the projecting-and-depressed sheet () is 30% or greater to the length (L) of a bottom portion of the projection (). On the skin-facing surface of the projecting-and-depressed sheet (), the mean friction coefficient MIU in the longitudinal direction (X) is 0.3 or less, and a difference in friction coefficient between a forward path and a return path when moved back and forth along the longitudinal direction (X) is less than 0.1. The projecting-and-depressed sheet () has a work of compression of 2.0 mN·cm/cmor greater and a compression recovery rate of 40% or greater.
