This underpants-type absorbent article is provided with a
waist opening part and a pair of leg opening parts, and when being in an unfolded and stretched state, encompasses a longitudinal direction, a left-right direction, and a thickness direction, which intersect one another. The underpants-type absorbent article is provided with an exterior member and an absorbent body that is positioned on the
skin side relative to the exterior member and has an absorbent core containing pulp fibers and a
super absorbent polymer. In the absorbent core, the weight per unit area of the pulp fibers is greater than the weight per unit area of the
super absorbent polymer. When the underpants-type absorbent article in an unfolded and stretched state is viewed along the thickness direction, a first position is defined as a position located in the middle of the underpants-type absorbent article in the longitudinal direction and 10 mm from each end of the absorbent core in the left-right direction, a second position is defined as a position located in two middle sections among four equal sections obtained by dividing, in the left-right direction, a location 10 mm longitudinally from each longitudinal end of the exterior member constituting the
waist opening part, and a third position is defined as a position located in an inner section of two equal sections obtained by dividing, in the left-right direction, a location that is 10 mm inward from the left or right end of the exterior member constituting each of the pair of leg opening parts in a front portion and does not overlap with the absorbent body. The absorbent core is provided at least in the first position, and in a
natural state, the maximum thickness from the non-
skin-side surface of the exterior member to the
skin-side surface of the absorbent body in the first position is smaller than the maximum thickness of the exterior member in the second position and greater than the maximum thickness of the exterior member in the third po
