PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article which is an absorbent article increased in an absorption amount and an absorption rate of body fluid, and can achieve quick absorption and prevention of leakage owing to that body fluid is held in a proper portion on an absorber.SOLUTION: An absorbent article includes a top sheet with liquid permeability, a back sheet with liquid impermeability, and an absorber comprising absorbent fiber and high absorbent polymer. The absorbent article is such that: in the absorber, width direction both ends are bent to a body side over the entire length in the longitudinal direction by a pair of folding lines across a width direction center line, and both portions across each folding line are oppositely held in a state that the width direction both ends of the absorber are bent to a body side, the width direction both ends of the absorber are separated from each other in the width direction an area between two folding lines of the absorber is provided with a recess extending at least to the longitudinal direction center part of the absorber and a separation distance between the width direction both ends of the absorber is narrower than a maximum dimension in the width direction of the recess.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】体液の吸収量や吸収速度が高められた吸収性物品であって、吸収体上の適切な部位に体液が保持されて迅速な吸収と漏れの防止を実現可能な吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】液透過性のトップシートと、液不透過性のバックシートと、吸収性繊維及び高吸収性ポリマーからなる吸収体と、を有する吸収性物品であって、吸収体は、幅方向中心線を挟む一対の折り線で、幅方向両端部が長手方向の全長に亘って身体側に屈曲して、各折り線を挟んだ両側の部位が対向して保持されており、吸収体の幅方向両端部が身体側に屈曲した状態において、吸収体の幅方向両端部は幅方向に互いに離間しており、吸収体の2本の折り線の間の領域には、少なくとも吸収体の長手方向中心部に及ぶ凹部が設けられており、吸収体の幅方向両端部の離間距離が、凹部の幅方向の最大寸法よりも狭い、吸収性物品。【選択図】図1
