PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent liquid leakage such as urine leakage even after long-term use or repeated urination, even when applied to an absorber having a large amount of hydrophilic fibers used or an absorber having a small amount of hydrophilic fibers used. Provided are water-absorbent resin particles and a method for producing the same. A water-soluble vinyl monomer (a1) and/or a hydrolyzable vinyl monomer (a2) and a cross-linking polymer (A) containing a cross-linking agent (b) as essential constituent units, a hydrophobic substance (c), Containing a polyvalent metal salt (d), an absorption index of 95 or more, a water retention capacity (g/g) to 0.9 wt% physiological saline of 37 or more and less than 47, and 0.9 wt% of water-absorbent resin particles. The liquid flow rate (ml/min) of 0.9 wt% physiological saline under pressure of 2.1 kPa after immersion in physiological saline for 30 minutes is 10 or less, and the water content (%) is 5 or more and less than 15. Water-absorbent resin particles: A method for producing the same by adding (c) having a melting point of 90°C or lower in the gel pulverizing step and kneading and shredding at the melting point or higher and 120°C or lower.
