Abstract

This absorbent article comprises an absorbent body and a surface material located on the skin side of the absorbent body. The absorbent body has: a pair of deformation guide parts that extend in the longitudinal direction in an inseam area and that are disposed so as to flank the center with respect to the lateral direction; a center region located between the pair of deformation guide parts; and a side region located on the outer side, with respect to the lateral direction, of the center region. The surface material includes: a first region that overlaps with the center region in plan view and that contains a metal oxide antibacterial agent-containing fiber; and a second region located on the outer side, with respect to the lateral direction, of the first region, the amount of the metal oxide antibacterial agent being smaller in the second region than in the first region.
