PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorber and an absorbent article, which are excellent in leakage preventability in use and hydrolyzability after disposal.SOLUTION: This hydrolyzable absorber 4 includes a hydrolyzable absorber layer 41 and a water insoluble resin layer 42. The amount of water absorption of the hydrolyzable absorber layer 41 is set to be 300 g/m2 or more, and the tear strength in the planar direction of the water insoluble resin layer 42 is set to be 0.15 N/40 mm or less in both a first direction and a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】使用時の防漏性と、廃棄後の水解性とに優れる吸収体及び吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】水解性吸収層41と非水溶性樹脂層42とを備えた水崩壊性吸収体4において、水解性吸水層41の吸水量を300g/m2以上とし、非水溶性樹脂層42の平面方向の引裂強度が、第1の方向及び第1の方向と直交する第2の方向ともに0.15N/40mm以下とする。【選択図】図3
