PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article including an absorber having both of durability and flexibility.SOLUTION: A vertically-long absorbent article 1 includes: a liquid-permeable top sheet 2; a liquid-impermeable back sheet 3; and an absorber 4 with liquid retention property, provided between the top sheet and the back sheet. The absorber contains pulp fibers and synthetic fibers and includes crimp portions 9 scattered thereon. An average length of the synthetic fibers is longer than a maximum distance between crimp portions that is the longest among distances between one crimp portions and nearest adjacent crimp portions.COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収体が耐久性と柔軟性の両方を兼ね備えた吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】液透過性のトップシート2と、液不透過性のバックシート3と、トップシートとバックシートとの間に設けられた液保持性の吸収体4とを含む縦長の吸収性物品1であって、吸収体はパルプ繊維と合成繊維とを含んでおり、吸収体に圧着部9が点在し、圧着部とそれに最も近い隣の圧着部との間の距離のうち、その距離が最大の最大圧着部間距離よりも、合成繊維の平均長さが長いことを特徴とする。【選択図】図1
