An absorbent article having an absorber interposed between a front-surface sheet and a back-surface sheet, wherein: the absorbent article is an incontinence pad having a medium or larger volume that absorbs 20 cc or a larger volume of urine; and the front-surface sheet is a spunlace nonwoven fabric made of 100% by weight of cotton fiber, is coated with a water repellent agent and has many front-face/back-face penetrating openings in a region containing a part corresponding to an excreting hole, characterized in that the front-surface sheet has a structure in which many vertical streaks that extend along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article and are formed with gaps in the width direction, and many lateral streaks that extend along the width direction of the absorbent article and connect between adjacent vertical streaks that are formed with a gap in the longitudinal direction are formed by the cotton fiber, wherein a width W1 of each of the vertical streaks is set at 0.5 to 2.5 mm, a width W2 of each of the lateral streaks is set at 0.2 to 1.6 mm, and a ratio of the width W1 and the width W2 (W1/W2) is set at 1.2 to 2.0; the openings are formed in a part surrounded by the vertical streaks and the lateral streaks, and are formed in a vertically long shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, wherein each of the openings has a dimension in which a length L1 in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is set at 1.0 to 4.0 mm, a length L2 in the width direction of the absorbent article is set at 0.5 to 1.5 mm, and a ratio of L1 and L2 (L1/L2) is set at 1.2 to 5.0, an area A of each of the openings is set at 0.9 to 3.0 mm 2, and an aperture ratio is set at 15 to 45%; and the absorber is made of a pulp fiber that does not contain synthetic fiber and a superabsorbent polymer, a basis weight of the pulp fiber being 75 to 300 g/m 2, a basis weight of the superabsorbent polymer being 85 to 185 g/m 2, and a ratio of the pulp fiber and the superabsorbent polymer being pulp fiber: superabsorbent polymer = 70 to 30% by weight: 30 to 70% by weight. the absorbent article is an incontinence pad having a medium or larger volume that absorbs 20 cc or a larger volume of urine; and the front-surface sheet is a spunlace nonwoven fabric made of 100% by weight of cotton fiber, is coated with a water repellent agent and has many front-face/back-face penetrating openings in a region containing a part corresponding to an excreting hole, characterized in that the front-surface sheet has a structure in which many vertical streaks that extend along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article and are formed with gaps in the width direction, and many lateral streaks that extend along the width direction of the absorbent article and connect between adjacent vertical streaks that are formed with a gap in the longitudinal direction are formed by the cotton fiber, wherein a width W1 of each of the vertical streaks is set at 0.5 to 2.5 mm, a width W2 of each of the lateral streaks is set at 0.2 to 1.6 mm, and a ratio of the width W1 and the width W2 (W1/W2) is set at 1.2 to 2.0; the openings are formed in a part surrounded by the vertical streaks and the lateral streaks, and are formed in a vertically long shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, wherein each of the openings has a dimension in which a length L1 in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article is set at 1.0 to 4.0 mm, a length L2 in the width direction of the absorbent article is set at 0.5 to 1.5 mm, and a ratio of L1 and L2 (L1/L2) is set at 1.2 to 5.0, an area A of each of the openings is set at 0.9 to 3.0 mm 2, and an aperture ratio is set at 15 to 45%; and the absorber is made of a pulp fiber that does not contain synthetic fiber and a superabsorbent polymer, a basis weight of the pulp fiber being 75 to 300 g/m 2, a basis weight of the superabsorbent polymer being 85 to 185 g/m 2, and a ratio of the pulp fiber and the superabsorbent polymer being pulp fiber: superabsorbent polymer = 70 to 30% by weight: 30 to 70% by weight.
