The present invention provides an absorbent article that allows full use of the absorption performance of an absorbent polymer without inhibiting the swelling of the absorbent polymer due to the absorption of excreted body fluids, and that can be biodegraded with efficiency when it is disposed after use by burial in the soil or the like. The absorbent article includes at least one inner bag-like member, an absorbent polymer, and an outer bag-like member. The inner bag-like member is formed into a thin and substantially sheet-like form of a sheet having biodegradability and fluid permeability, and includes multiple accommodation spaces that are detached from the outside and separated from one another. The absorbent polymer has biodegradability and a substantially granular or powder form and is contained in each of the accommodation spaces in the inner bag-like member so as to be freely movable within the accommodation spaces. The outer bag-like member is formed of a sheet having biodegradability and fluid permeability and contains an inner bag-like member in either a layered or folded state.本發明提供一種吸收元件,其可在不抑制由於排泄體液之吸收所導致一吸收聚合物隆起的情形下來充分利用吸收聚合物之吸收性能,並且當其在使用後藉由埋於土壤或類似物中被處理時,吸收元件能有效率地被生物分解。吸收元件包括至少一內部像袋子元件、一吸收聚合物及一外部像袋子元件。內部像袋子元件係成型成具有生物分解性及流體滲透性之一薄片之一細薄與實質上像薄片的形式,並且具有分離於外部與間隔於彼此之複數個容納空間。吸收聚合物具有生物分解性與一實質上粒狀或粉末的形式,並且係被容納於在內部像袋子元件中之每一個容納空間之中,以在該等容納空間之內自由移動。外部像袋子元件係以具有生物分解性及流體滲透性之一薄片所構成,並且包含一內部像袋子元件於一分層的或摺疊的狀態中。1...吸收元件11...內部像袋子元件13...外部像袋子元件18、19...第二薄片18a、19a...外邊緣部
