PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorption structure which is excellent in absorption efficiency by having a shape with uneven thickness and has no risk of generating bending or the like with the risk of inducing leakage of bodily fluids while worn by locally providing a highly rigid area, and an absorbent wearing article using the absorption structure.SOLUTION: The absorption structure 17 includes: a first end edge 17a and a second end edge 17b a thick part 55 positioned on the side of the first end edge 17a a thin part 57 positioned on the side of the second end edge 17b, which has a smaller thickness dimension than the thick part 55 and a thickness gradient part 56 positioned between the thick part 55 and the thin part 57, in which the thickness dimension is gradually reduced from the first end edge 17a toward the second end edge 17b. Debossing work is executed to form many compressed depression parts 60 at the thin part 55, the thickness gradient part 56, and portions adjacent to the thickness gradient part 56 in the thick part 55.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】厚さの不均一な形状を有することによって吸収効率が優れ、かつ、局所的に高剛性域を設けることによって着用中に体液の漏れを誘発するおそれのある折れ曲がり等を生じるおそれのない吸収構造体及びそれを用いた吸収性着用物品の提供。【解決手段】吸収構造体17は、第1端縁17a及び第2端縁17bと、第1端縁17a側に位置する肉厚部55と、第2端縁17b側に位置する肉厚部55よりも厚さ寸法の小さい肉薄部57と、肉厚部55と肉薄部57との間に位置し、第1端縁17aから第2端縁17bに向かって次第に厚さ寸法が小さくなる厚さ勾配部56とを有する。肉薄部55、厚さ勾配部56及び肉厚部55のうちの厚さ勾配部56に隣接する部分には多数の圧縮凹部60を形成するデボス加工が施されている。【選択図】図4
