In an absorptive article, shaped regions (R1) are formed on a top sheet (21). The shaped regions (R1) extend in the longitudinal direction of the absorptive article and are arranged in the lateral direction. In each shaped region (R1), there is continuously formed a wave form continuing in the longitudinal direction and constructed from a top region (T), a bottom region (B), and a wall region between the top region (T) and the bottom region (B). The fiber density of that portion of the top sheet (21) that is in the wall region (W) is lower than the fiber density of that portion of the top sheet (21) that is in the top region (T) or the bottom region (B).
