An absorbent article including an elongated body, the body including a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable bottom sheet, and an absorber provided between the top sheet and the bottom sheet, wherein: compressed grooves (21, 23, 24, 25, 26) are formed in the body from the top sheet toward the bottom sheet, the compressed grooves include a pair of central compressed grooves formed substantially along a longitudinal direction of the body in line symmetry with respect to a centerline extending in the longitudinal direction of the body serving as an axis of symmetry, a pair of front lateral side compressed grooves formed in line symmetry with respect to the centerline serving as an axis of symmetry on a front lateral side of the central compressed grooves, and a pair of rear lateral side compressed grooves formed in line symmetry with respect to the centerline serving as an axis of symmetry on a rear lateral side of the central compressed grooves, each of the pair of the front lateral side compressed grooves and the pair of the rear lateral side compressed grooves includes a first compressed groove (231, 241) and a second compressed groove (232, 242) positioned more distant from the centerline than the first compressed groove (231, 241), the first compressed groove (231, 241) and the second compressed groove (232, 242) have a circular arc shape, and are disposed such that inner circular arcs of both compressed grooves (231, 232, 241, 242) face each other, and an extension line of the central compressed grooves passes between an end (231a, 231b) of the first compressed groove (231, 241) and an end (232a, 232b) of the second compressed groove (232, 242), and does not pass between another end (231a, 231b) of the first compressed groove (231, 241) and another end (232a, 232b) of the second compressed groove (232, 242). compressed grooves (21, 23, 24, 25, 26) are formed in the body from the top sheet toward the bottom sheet, the compressed grooves include a pair of central compressed grooves formed substantially along a longitudinal direction of the body in line symmetry with respect to a centerline extending in the longitudinal direction of the body serving as an axis of symmetry, a pair of front lateral side compressed grooves formed in line symmetry with respect to the centerline serving as an axis of symmetry on a front lateral side of the central compressed grooves, and a pair of rear lateral side compressed grooves formed in line symmetry with respect to the centerline serving as an axis of symmetry on a rear lateral side of the central compressed grooves, each of the pair of the front lateral side compressed grooves and the pair of the rear lateral side compressed grooves includes a first compressed groove (231, 241) and a second compressed groove (232, 242) positioned more distant from the centerline than the first compressed groove (231, 241), the first compressed groove (231, 241) and the second compressed groove (232, 242) have a circular arc shape, and are disposed such that inner circular arcs of both compressed grooves (231, 232, 241, 242) face each other, and an extension line of the central compressed grooves passes between an end (231a, 231b) of the first compressed groove (231, 241) and an end (232a, 232b) of the second compressed groove (232, 242), and does not pass between another end (231a, 231b) of the first compressed groove (231, 241) and another end (232a, 232b) of the second compressed groove (232, 242).
