The invention provides an absorptive article which is longitudinally long in shape. The absorptive article comprises an anti-leak layer preventing liquid permeation and an absorption layer which is arranged over the anti-leak layer and can retain liquid. The absorption layer comprises an absorption body capable of retaining liquid and a surface layer which is arranged over the absorption body and allows liquid permeation. The middle portion of the absorption body is provided with a groove. The absorptive article can rapidly absorb excretion matter and prevent reverse permeation, thereby solving the problem of side leak.
