An absorbent article for absorbing blood comprising a liquid-permeable layer, a liquid-impermeable layer and an absorbent body situated between the liquid-permeable layer and the liquid-impermeable layer, wherein the liquid-permeable layer has a first layer with a skin contact surface and a non-skin-contacting surface and a second layer situated on the non-skin-contacting surface side of the first layer, the second layer is a layer formed by heat shrinkage of a heat-shrinkable fiber layer and the first layer is a layer formed by deformation of a heat-extendable fiber layer, which is partially joined to the heat-shrinkable fiber layer by joining sections, by heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable fiber layer and heat stretching of the heat-extendable fiber layer, projections bulging out on the skin contact surface, produced by deformation of the heat-extendable fiber layer, are formed at least in the excretory opening contact region on the skin contact surface, at least the projections of the excretory opening contact region are coated with a coating consisting of a blood slipping agent or a blood slipping agent-containing composition, wherein the blood slipping agent-containing composition includes the blood slipping agent and a basis weight of 0.0 to 1.0 g/m 2 of a surfactant, and wherein the blood slipping agent has a 40°C kinematic viscosity of 0.01 to 80 mm 2 /s measured according to JIS K 2283:2000, "5. Kinematic Viscosity Test Method", using a Cannon-Fenske reverse-flow viscometer, at a testing temperature of 40°C, a water holding percentage of 0.01 to 4.0 mass% measured as described in the description and a weight-average molecular weight of 100 or greater and less than 1,000 measured as described in the description, and the basis weight of the blood slipping agent is 1 to 30 g/m 2. wherein the liquid-permeable layer has a first layer with a skin contact surface and a non-skin-contacting surface and a second layer situated on the non-skin-contacting surface side of the first layer, the second layer is a layer formed by heat shrinkage of a heat-shrinkable fiber layer and the first layer is a layer formed by deformation of a heat-extendable fiber layer, which is partially joined to the heat-shrinkable fiber layer by joining sections, by heat shrinkage of the heat-shrinkable fiber layer and heat stretching of the heat-extendable fiber layer, projections bulging out on the skin contact surface, produced by deformation of the heat-extendable fiber layer, are formed at least in the excretory opening contact region on the skin contact surface, at least the projections of the excretory opening contact region are coated with a coating consisting of a blood slipping agent or a blood slipping agent-containing composition, wherein the blood slipping agent-containing composition includes the blood slipping agent and a basis weight of 0.0 to 1.0 g/m 2 of a surfactant, and wherein the blood slipping agent has a 40°C kinematic viscosity of 0.01 to 80 mm 2 /s measured according to JIS K 2283:2000, "5.
