Disclosed is a sanitary napkin (1) which comprises a front sheet (2), a back sheet (3) and an absorbent body (10) that is interposed between the sheets (2) and (3) and contains water-absorbent polymers and fibers. The water-absorbent polymers include a water-absorbent polymer wherein the repose angle for swollen gels is not more than 45°, and the absorbent body (10) has a high water-absorbent polymer concentration region (13) wherein the content of the water-absorbent polymers is higher than the average content of the water-absorbent polymers that is calculated by the following formula: the average concentration (%) of the water-absorbent polymers = (total mass of all water-absorbent polymers contained in absorbent body/total mass of absorbent body) × 100.
