An absorbent article using, as a surface material (or a liquid-permeable top sheet), a nonwoven fabric is disclosed, the nonwoven fabric containing at least 10% by weight of a conjugate fiber comprising first and second parts differing from each other, wherein the second part covers at least a part of the first part, at least the first part contains an inorganic component in a proportion higher than that contained in the second part, and the content of the inorganic component in the first part is at least 1.5% by weight based on the weight of the first part. The nonwoven fabric has excellent cutting properties while retaining satisfactory strength, absorbency and touch. |
