[Problem]To provide an absorbent pad, the absorbent pad being formed of an inner absorbent pad which is positioned on the body-side and an outer absorbent pad positioned on the non-body side, wherein when the inner absorbent pad absorbs liquid excretions and swells, openings are provided at the side which is indented furthest towards the non-body side, improving the passage of liquid, and improving the dispersion of sites facing the openings in the outside absorbent pad, preventing leakage of liquid excretions to the exterior.[Solution]This problem is solved by forming the inner absorbent pad from a liquid-permeable first front sheet, a liquid-permeable first rear sheet, and absorbent polymer particles which are provided between the first front sheet and the first rear sheet and which absorb liquid excretions, joining, in plan view, the first front sheet and the first rear sheet at first connecting parts which extend in a front-rear direction and which are separated from one another by a predetermined interval in the width direction, and second connecting parts which extend in the width direction and which are separated from one another by a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction, enclosing absorbent polymer particles within cells demarcated by a first connecting part, a first connecting part adjoining the first connecting part, a second connecting part, and a second part adjoining the second connecting part, and forming openings at the points where the first connecting parts and second connecting parts intersect.
