PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which is excellent in diffusibility of urine or the like and in which lateral leakage hardly occurs.SOLUTION: An absorbent article 1 has a liquid permeable top sheet 2, a liquid impermeable back sheet 3, and an absorbent laminate 4 provided between them. The absorbent laminate 4 has a back and forth direction y and a width direction x, an upper side absorbent layer 5, and a lower side absorbent layer 7 from the side of a top sheet 2. The lower side absorbent layer 7 has an opening 8 extending in the back and forth direction y, whereas in the upper side absorbent layer 5, an almost V-shaped notch is formed in a front side edge 6. An inclined side part of the almost V-shaped shape is formed into a curve bulging toward a front side in the back and forth direction y, and the upper side absorbent layer 5 covers a rear side end of the opening 8.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】尿等の拡散性に優れ、横漏れが起こりにくい吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】液透過性のトップシート2と液不透過性のバックシート3とこれらの間に設けられた吸収性積層体4とを有する吸収性物品1であって、吸収性積層体4は、前後方向yと幅方向xとを有し、トップシート2側から上側吸収層5と下側吸収層7とを有し、下側吸収層7は前後方向yに延びる開口8を有し、上側吸収層5は、前側縁6に略V字形状の切欠きが形成されており、略V字形状の斜辺部は前後方向yの前方側に膨らんだ曲線状に形成され、上側吸収層5が開口8の後側端を覆っている。【選択図】図2
