An objective of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article exhibiting excellent absorption speed of body fluid and dryness after absorbing body fluid, even in the case of absorbing body fluid repeatedly. The absorbent article of the present invention comprises: a water absorption layer where a water absorbent resin powder meeting the following requirements (a) to (d) is disposed, (a) a bulk density: 0.45 g/ml to 0.62 g/ml, (b) an absorption speed mearsured by a vortex method: 20 seconds to 50 seconds, (c) a liquid passing speed under load: 10 seconds or less, (d) a moisture absorption blocking ratio: 5% or less； and a diffusion layer disposed below the water absorption layer and including a cellulose acetate fiber.本發明提供即使在反複吸收體液的情形下體液的吸收速度及吸收體液後之乾爽性仍然優良之吸收性物品。吸收性物品具有配置滿足下述(a)至(d)特點之吸水性樹脂粉末的吸水層，及配置在前述吸水層的下層、含纖維素乙酸酯纖維之擴散層，(a)總體密度：0.45g/mL至0.62g/mL(b)以旋渦法測定之吸收速度：20秒至50秒(c)負載下通液速度：10秒以下(d)吸濕阻礙率：5%以下。
