An absorptive article 1 includes a liquid-permeable top sheet 20, a liquid impermeable back sheet 30, and an absorber 50 disposed between the top sheet 20 and the back sheet 30. The absorber 50 has a layered structure including an upper absorbent layer 511 disposed on the side of the top sheet 20 and a lower absorbent layer 512 disposed on the side of the back sheet 30. The upper absorbent layer 511 is composed of virgin pulp and virgin polymer, and the lower absorbent layer 512 contains recycled pulp and recycled polymers. As a result, even in the case of using the recycled pulp and polymers, commingled foreign materials would not disfigure the absorptive article 1.
