Claim:
A topsheet for an absorbent article, which is composed of an uneven sheet and a base sheet, wherein said uneven sheet has an uneven profile formed on a surface thereof to be brought into contact with a wearer's skin, the uneven profile being flexibly deformable in conformity to the contour of the wearer's body and to the wearer's movement, and depressions of the uneven profile being capable of trapping high-viscosity excreta thereby separating the high-viscosity excreta from the wearer's skin while an absorbent article having the topsheet is worn, wherein said uneven sheet and said base sheet are superposed on each other and joined together in parts in a prescribed pattern, said uneven sheet contains a large number of protrusions and separates from said base sheet over the entire area thereof except at joints where it is joined with said base sheet, and a vertical cross-section of said uneven sheet taken along a line that does not contain any of said joints has an almost wavy profile, wherein said uneven sheet comprises two sets of protrusions, wherein the first set of protrusions contain larger protrusions than said second set of protrusions, such that the protrusions of said second set of protrusions are smaller and lower in height than the protrusions of said first set of protrusions, and wherein the protrusions of said second set of protrusions are located on borders between adjacent protrusions of said first set of protrusions.
