Provided are an absorption structure and an absorbent wearable object employing same, with which the rate of absorption is superior due to having a shape of uneven thickness, and with which there is no concern about bending, etc., occurring which might give rise to a leakage of bodily fluids while being worn by disposing locally highly rigid regions therein. An absorption structure (17) comprises a first end edge (17a) and a second end edge (17b), a thick part (55) located in the first end edge (17a) side, a thin part (57) located in the second end edge (17b) side which has a smaller thickness measurement than the thick part (55), and a thickness gradient part (56) which is located between the thick part (55) and the thin part (57) in which the thickness measurement gets steadily smaller from the first end edge (17a) toward the second end edge (17b). A debossing working is carried out which forms a plurality of compressed depression parts (60) to the thin part (55), the thickness gradient part (56), and on portions of the thickness gradient part (56) which are adjacent to the thick part (55).本發明係為一種藉由具有厚度不均的形狀而使吸收效率優,而且藉由局部性設置高剛性區域而不怕會產生在穿著用中誘發體液外漏之虞的彎折等之吸收構造體及使用該吸收構造體的吸收性穿著用物品的提供。本發明之吸收構造體(17)係具有:第1端緣(17a)與第2端緣(17b);位於第1端緣(17a)側之厚壁部(55);位於第2端緣(17b)側之比厚壁部(55)的厚度尺寸更小之薄壁部(57);位於厚壁部(55)與薄壁部(57)之間,從第1端緣(17a)向第2端緣(17b)厚度尺寸逐漸變小之厚度傾斜部(56)。薄壁部(55)、厚度傾斜部(56)、及厚壁部(55)之中與厚度傾斜部(56)相鄰的部份係施予形成有多數個壓縮凹部(60)的凹印加工。11‧‧‧前腰部區域12‧‧‧後腰部區域13‧‧‧胯下區域14‧‧‧尿布本體17‧‧‧吸收構造體17a‧‧‧第1端緣(前端緣)17b‧‧‧第2端緣(後端緣)17c、17d‧‧‧兩側緣21‧‧‧直狀部51‧‧‧前方域52‧‧‧後方域53‧‧‧中央部55‧‧‧厚壁部56‧‧‧厚度傾斜部57‧‧‧薄壁部61‧‧‧第1凹印加工部63‧‧‧第2凹印加工部64‧‧‧高剛性區域
