To provide an absorbent article which can prevent a rash of a wearers skin and suppress the generation of malodors after using. An absorbent article comprising an absorbent body and a fumaric acid-carrying sheet that is disposed in the skin-contact surface side of the absorbent body, characterized in that the fumaric acid-carrying sheet is a sheet which carries fumaric acid particles with an average particle size of 30 [mu]m or less and/or a sheet in which at least a part of fibers constituting the same are coated with fumaric acid. When being in contact with a body fluid, etc., fumaric acid is not immediately but slowly dissolved so that alkalization in the area around fumaric acid can be prevented over a long period of time. Further, fumaric acid has an effect of inhibiting the proliferation of putrefactive bacteria and, therefore, can suppress the generation of malodors from the absorbent article having absorbed the body fluid, etc.本發明之目的係提供一種能夠預防使用者的皮膚產生斑疹,同時能夠抑制使用後產生臭味之吸收性物品。一種吸收性物品,具備吸收體,及配置在該吸收體的皮膚面側之反丁烯二酸負載片,前述反丁烯二酸負載片係負載有平均粒徑為30μm以下的反丁烯二酸粒子之薄片及/或至少一部分的構成纖維以反丁烯二酸被覆而成之薄片。因為反丁烯二酸即便接觸體液等時也不會立刻溶解而是慢慢地溶解,所以能夠長期間持續防止反丁烯二酸的周圍變成鹼性。而且,因為反丁烯二酸具有抑制腐敗菌繁殖之作用,所以能夠防止因吸收體液等之後而從吸收性物品產生臭味。1‧‧‧反丁烯二酸負載片2‧‧‧反丁烯二酸3‧‧‧纖維
