PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which enhances dry feeling by improvement of an effect of spreading a liquid and a reduced amount of liquid return in an excretion region.SOLUTION: An absorber 4A in an embodiment of this invention includes a water absorptive polymer 41 and a hydrophilic fiber 42. The absorber 4A has a first region 4F in which a weight ratio of the water absorptive polymer 41 to the hydrophilic fiber 42 is 1 or more and a second region 4S which is disposed on a skin-facing surface side or a non-skin-facing surface side of the first region 4F and contains the water absorptive polymer 41 and the hydrophilic fiber 42 with respective contents being greater than respective contents of the first region 4F, and the first region 4F and the second region 4S are continuously arranged in a thickness direction T. The absorber 4A has a recess 44 formed to penetrate the second region 4S in the thickness direction T in a state after a lapse of 5 minutes from the supply of a sodium chloride aqueous solution with 0.9 wt% at a rate of 2,000 g/m2.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】液の拡散効果が向上し、排泄部領域での液戻り量が少なく、ドライ感が向上する吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の実施形態である吸収体4Aは、吸水性ポリマー41と親水性繊維42とを含む。吸収体4Aは、吸水性ポリマー41と親水性繊維42との重量比が1以上である第1領域4Fと、第1領域4Fの肌対向面側又は非肌対向面側に配され、第1領域4Fよりも吸水性ポリマー41及び親水性繊維42それぞれの含有量が多い第2領域4Sとを有し、第1領域4F及び第2領域4Sは、厚み方向Tに連続して配されている。吸収体4Aは、0.9重量%の塩化ナトリウム水溶液を2000g/m2供給して5分経過後の状態において、第2領域4Sを厚み方向Tに貫通する凹部44が形成されている。【選択図】図4
