An absorbent article being a sanitary napkin, comprising: an absorber disposed between a permeable upper-side sheet and an impermeable back-side sheet, wherein a core press depressed toward the back-side sheet is formed on at least a surface of the absorber facing the upper-side sheet in a pattern at predetermined intervals such that a thickness of the absorber is reduced in a thickness direction; right and left compressed grooves having a curved shape are formed along a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article on at least sides of an area corresponding to a body fluid discharge part of a wearer, wherein the compressed grooves are formed from an annular line or arc lines; and a high absorption part is formed at least in an inner area inside of the right and left compressed grooves of the absorber, in an inner area an absorption capacity per unit area of the high absorption part being greater than an absorption capacity per unit area of the absorber in an outer area outside of the right and left compressed grooves, wherein multiple longitudinal compressed grooves extending in the longitudinal direction and disposed apart from each other in a width direction are formed on at least each side of the area corresponding to the body fluid discharge part of the wearer, and the high absorption part is formed by making a basis weight of pulp and a superabsorbent polymer included in the inner area of the absorber greater than a basis weight of the pulp and the superabsorbent polymer included in the outer area of the absorber or by using a superabsorbent polymer having a greater absorption amount than an absorption amount of a superabsorbent polymer used in the outer area. an absorber disposed between a permeable upper-side sheet and an impermeable back-side sheet, wherein a core press depressed toward the back-side sheet is formed on at least a surface of the absorber facing the upper-side sheet in a pattern at predetermined intervals such that a thickness of the absorber is reduced in a thickness direction; right and left compressed grooves having a curved shape are formed along a longitudinal direction of the absorbent article on at least sides of an area corresponding to a body fluid discharge part of a wearer, wherein the compressed grooves are formed from an annular line or arc lines; and a high absorption part is formed at least in an inner area inside of the right and left compressed grooves of the absorber, in an inner area an absorption capacity per unit area of the high absorption part being greater than an absorption capacity per unit area of the absorber in an outer area outside of the right and left compressed grooves, wherein multiple longitudinal compressed grooves extending in the longitudinal direction and disposed apart from each other in a width direction are formed on at least each side of the area corresponding to the body fluid discharge part of the wearer, and the high absorption part is formed by making a basis weight of pulp and a superabsorbent polymer included in the inner area of the absorber greater than a basis weight of the pulp and the superabsorbent polymer included in the outer area of the absorber or by using a superabsorbent polymer having a greater absorption amount than an absorption amount of a superabsorbent polymer used in the outer area.
