This invention provides an absorbency object which uses a material of Chinese traditional medicine in an intermediate absorbing body, and enables the Chinese traditional medicine to be easily distinguished by vision, and develops functions of the material of Chinese traditional medicine and has improved vision identification degree. The absorbency object 1 at least includes a surface slice 10, an absorbing body 30 and a back slice 20. The absorbing body 30 includes an intermediate absorbing body 32 with at least more than one of materials of Chinese traditional medicine. Compressing grooves 4, 41 are formed by compressing and connecting the surface slice 10 and one part of a basic absorbing body 31. The compressing grooves 4, 41 are formed at the position out of the configuring region of the intermediate absorbing body 32.本發明之課題在於提供,對中間吸收體使用中藥材,作成為可對其加以辨識,並且發揮中藥材所具有的機能,且提升辨識性之吸收性物品。用以解決課題之手段為,吸收性物品(1)至少具備有,表面薄片(10)、吸收體(30)、及裏面薄片(20),吸收體(30)具備有:包含至少1種類以上的中藥材之中間吸收體(32)與基礎吸收體(31)。又,形成有將表面薄片(10)與基礎吸收體(31)的一部分壓縮並接合的壓縮溝槽(4)、(41)。壓縮溝槽(4)、(41)形成於除了中間吸收體(32)的配置領域以外之位置。
