PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which increases absorptivity of a whole absorber while increasing liquid diffusibility of the absorber.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 10 includes: a liquid-permeable surface sheet 14 a liquid-impermeable rear surface sheet 12 and an absorber 13 arranged between the surface sheet 14 and the rear surface sheet 12. In the absorber 13, a plurality of recesses 502 are formed on the surface on the surface sheet 14 side. The plurality of recesses 502 are arranged in the way that a groove 501 radially extends in a peripheral direction of the absorber 13 from a central part MO of the absorber 13. An absorption amount of the absorber 13 in a central region including the central part MO is smaller than an absorption amount of the absorber 13 in both end areas with the central region in between.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収体の液体の拡散性を高めつつ、吸収体全体の吸収性を向上させる吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】吸収性物品10は、液透過性の表面シート14と、液不透過性の裏面シート12と、表面シート14と裏面シート12との間に配された吸収体13と、を備え、吸収体13には、表面シート14側の面に複数の凹部502が形成され、複数の凹部502は、吸収体13の中心部MOから吸収体13の周囲方向へ放射状に延在する溝501を形成するように配列し、中心部MOを含む中央領域の吸収体13の吸収量は、中央領域を挟む両端領域の吸収体13の吸収量よりも低いことを特徴とする。【選択図】図5
