An absorbent article comprising an elasticized region, wherein the elasticized region has, on a skin-facing surface side thereof, a sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet having at least two layers, the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet includes a hydrophobic layer forming a skin-facing surface thereof, and a hydrophilic layer disposed adjacent to a non-skin-facing surface of the hydrophobic layer, and has a plurality of fusion-bonded joined regions via which the hydrophobic layer and the hydrophilic layer are fixed to each other, the hydrophobic layer is formed of a hydrophobic fiber and being hydrophobic, the hydrophilic layer is formed of a hydrophilic fiber and being hydrophilic, and the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet is a sheet in which, when 1 μL × 49 drops of a liquid are arranged within an area of 5 cm × 5 cm of the skin-facing surface thereof and absorbed for 60 seconds, an amount of remaining liquid is 10 mg or less, and 50 μL × 1 drop of the liquid placed on the skin-facing surface evaporates within 15 minutes, the amount of remaining liquid being measured as described in paragraphs of the A1 -publication, the liquid evaporation time being measured as described in paragraphs of the A1-publication, further comprising an outer cover, wherein the outer cover has an inner sheet, an outer sheet and a hydrophilic sheet separate from the outer sheet, the outer sheet has a plurality of openings passing through the outer sheet, the outer sheet has a folded-back portion formed by the outer sheet being folded back so as to cover a skin-facing surface side of the hydrophilic sheet, and the hydrophobic layer of the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet is formed of the folded-back portion of the outer sheet and the hydrophilic layer of the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet is formed of the hydrophilic sheet laid one on top of the other, wherein the openings of the outer sheet are arranged such that at least some of the openings do not overlap the fusion-bonded joined regions of the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet. wherein the elasticized region has, on a skin-facing surface side thereof, a sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet having at least two layers, the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet includes a hydrophobic layer forming a skin-facing surface thereof, and a hydrophilic layer disposed adjacent to a non-skin-facing surface of the hydrophobic layer, and has a plurality of fusion-bonded joined regions via which the hydrophobic layer and the hydrophilic layer are fixed to each other, the hydrophobic layer is formed of a hydrophobic fiber and being hydrophobic, the hydrophilic layer is formed of a hydrophilic fiber and being hydrophilic, and the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet is a sheet in which, when 1 μL × 49 drops of a liquid are arranged within an area of 5 cm × 5 cm of the skin-facing surface thereof and absorbed for 60 seconds, an amount of remaining liquid is 10 mg or less, and 50 μL × 1 drop of the liquid placed on the skin-facing surface evaporates within 15 minutes, the amount of remaining liquid being measured as described in paragraphs of the A1 -publication, the liquid evaporation time being measured as described in paragraphs of the A1-publication, further comprising an outer cover, wherein the outer cover has an inner sheet, an outer sheet and a hydrophilic sheet separate from the outer sheet, the outer sheet has a plurality of openings passing through the outer sheet, the outer sheet has a folded-back portion formed by the outer sheet being folded back so as to cover a skin-facing surface side of the hydrophilic sheet, and the hydrophobic layer of the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet is formed of the folded-back portion of the outer sheet and the hydrophilic layer of the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet is formed of the hydrophilic sheet laid one on top of the other, wherein the openings of the outer sheet are arranged such that at least some of the openings do not overlap the fusion-bonded joined regions of the sweat-absorbent and quick-drying sheet.
