PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorber and an absorbent article which dissolve discomfort due to wetting when worn by quickly absorbing excreted liquid near discharge part of a wearer and holding the excreted liquid at a position away from the skin surface of the wearer.SOLUTION: In the absorbent article 1, the absorber 4 includes a main absorber 40 in a lower layer which is a back surface sheet side and middle high absorber 41 in an upper layer which is a surface sheet side, the middle high absorber 41 is arranged in a width narrower than the main absorber 40 in an area A facing the discharge part of the wearer. The middle high absorber 40 is formed by arranging many block-like absorption parts regularly separately from each other. The separated part has a groove-like part regularly formed in the longitudinal direction and the width direction between the block-like absorption parts adjacent to each other, and the part joined with the block-like absorption part of the middle high absorber 41 and the block-like absorption part of the main absorber 40 is consolidated over the thickness direction.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】着用者の排泄部付近の排泄液を素早く吸収し、着用者の肌面から離れた位置で排泄液を保持することで、着用時の濡れによる不快感を解消し得る吸収体および吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】吸収体4は、裏面シート側である下層に本体吸収体40、表面シート側である上層に中高吸収体41を備え、中高吸収体41は、装着者の排泄部に対向する領域Aに本体吸収体40よりも幅狭に配置されてなり、中高吸収体40は、ブロック状の吸収部が多数、互いに離間して規則正しく配置されてなり、離間した部位は、隣りあうブロック状の吸収部間に長手方向及び幅方向に規則的に形成された溝状部を有し、中高吸収体41のブロック状吸収部及び本体吸収体40のブロック状吸収部と接合する部位が厚さ方向に亘り圧密化されている吸収性物品1。【選択図】図1
