Abstract
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.
