PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To distinguish a water absorption region from a water non-absorption region in a water absorbent article.SOLUTION: A water absorbent article 1 is formed by interposing highly water absorbent polymer particles 4 between opposed surfaces 2b and 3a of two superposed sheet pieces 2 and 3 at least one of which is permeable to water. In the water absorbent article, a water absorption region 6 and a water non-absorption region 7 surrounding the water absorption region are formed. The water absorption region differs from the water non-absorption region in at least one attribute among three visual attributes of colors, that are hues, brightness and chroma so that the two kinds of regions can be distinguished from each other.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸水性物品における吸水域と非吸水域との識別を可能にする。【解決手段】少なくとも一方が透水性であって重なり合う二枚のシート片2,3の対向面2b,3aの間に高吸水性ポリマー粒子4を介在させることによって、吸水性物品1が形成される。吸水性物品には吸水域6と、吸水域を囲繞する非吸水域7とが形成される。吸水域と非吸水域とでは、互いの識別が可能となるように、外観上における色調、明度および彩度の色の三属性のうちの少なくとも一つの属性が異なっている。【選択図】図1
