- the projections 24 formed on the topsheet 2 are composed of a plurality of types having different sizes.
- the expression “the sizes of the projections are different” means that the heights of the projections are different, the areas of the projections in plan view are different, or both are different.
- the topsheet 2 has a plurality of first protrusions 241 arranged in the central area 2C and a plurality of second protrusions 242 arranged in the side area 2S.
- the first protrusion 241 and the second protrusion 242 are different in height and area in plan view. Specifically, the height of the first protrusion 241 is higher than the height of the second protrusion 242.

While being performed successfully, leakage of excrement from the space is effectively suppressed. The reason is as follows.
- the first convex portion 241 exists in the concave space with a relatively gentle inclination.
- the excrement is smoothly guided into the concave space along the gentle slope.
- the gentle inclination causes the excrement located in the space to leak out of the space when viewed from the opposite side.
