PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which is capable of suppressing the leakage of bodily fluids by being continuously worn on a suitable position of the body, while reducing wetness and being more comfortable when worn.SOLUTION: An absorbent article (1) has a longitudinal direction (L) and a width direction (W), which are perpendicular to each other, and includes: a liquid-permeable surface sheet (10); an air-permeable and liquid-impermeable rear sheet (20); an absorbent body (30) having at least a pulp (31) and a highly absorbent polymer (32); and an adhesive section (50) disposed in a non-skin-facing surface of the rear sheet. The outer edge of the absorbent body is located further inside than the outer edge of the absorbent article. In an outer region (RO) between the outer edge of the absorbent body and the outer edge of the absorbent article, an overlap section (P1) is provided in which the highly absorbent polymer and the adhesive section are disposed overlapping in the thickness direction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2019,JPO&INPIT【課題】蒸れを低減して装着感を向上しつつ、身体に対して適切な位置に装着し続けることによって体液の漏れを抑制できる吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】吸収性物品(1)は、互いに直交する長手方向(L)及び幅方向(W)と、液透過性の表面シート(10)と、通気性かつ液不透過性の裏面シート(20)と、少なくともパルプ(31)と高吸収性ポリマー(32)を有する吸収体(30)と、裏面シートの非肌対向面に配置された粘着部(50)と、を有する。吸収体の外縁は、吸収性物品の外縁よりも内側に位置している。吸収体の外縁と吸収性物品の外縁との間の外側領域(RO)には、高吸収性ポリマーと粘着部が厚み方向に重なって配置された重畳部(P1)が設けられている。【選択図】図3
