The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide an absorbent body which, when repeatedly absorbing a liquid, exhibits excellent capabilities to disperse the liquid in the direction of the surface and to allow the liquid to migrate in the direction of the thickness. This absorbent body is configured as follows. The absorbent body (7) for an absorbent article (1) comprises: an absorbent core (11) comprising a polymer absorbing agent (19) and core wraps (13, 14). The core wraps (13, 14) comprise: (i) a first hydrophilic fiber-containing layer (25, 26) that is adjacent to the absorbent core (11) and contains first hydrophilic fibers (23, 24) having an average fiber length of 25 mm to 75 mm (ii) a pulp fiber-containing layer (29, 30) that is adjacent to the first hydrophilic fiber-containing layer (25, 26) and contains pulp fibers (27, 28) and (iii) a second hydrophilic fiber-containing layer (33, 34) that is adjacent to the pulp fiber-containing layer (29, 30) and contains second hydrophilic fibers (31, 32) having an average fiber length of 25 mm to 75 mm. Some of the pulp fibers (27, 28) pass through the first hydrophilic fiber-containing layer (25, 26) and are in contact with the absorbent core (11).
