[Problem] Provided is an absorbent pad which prevents leakage of excess liquid excrement to the exterior.[Solution] This problem is resolved by forming an absorbent pad sheet which forms an absorbent pad from a liquid-permeable front sheet and a liquid permeable rear sheet, and absorbent polymer particles which absorb liquid excrement and which are provided between the front sheet and the rear sheet. The width in the width direction formed between both side parts folded to the inside is formed as 10-50% of the width of the absorbent pad in the width direction, and some of the absorbent polymer particles at the place at which folding to the inside occurs are made to penetrate the front sheet at the place at which folding to the inside occurs.
