PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin absorber which has excellent absorption rate, causes little liquid return and has excellent wear feeling, and an absorbent article comprising the absorber.SOLUTION: An absorber 1 includes a high absorbent sheet 10 and an open hole film 20 having a plurality of open holes. The high absorbent sheet 10 has a substrate non-woven fabric 11 whose body side surface is raised and a high absorbent polymer 12 which is fixed and supported between fibers of raised parts of the substrate non-woven fabric. The open hole film 20 covers the body side surface of at least the high absorbent sheet 10. Compression energy WC of the absorber 1 by a handy compression testing machine KES-G5 ranges from 2.0 gf cm/cm2 to 8.0 gf cm/cm2, and compression restorability RC ranges from 35% to 65%.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収速度に優れ、液戻りが少なく、着用感の良好な薄型の吸収体及び該吸収体を備える吸収性物品を提供する。【解決手段】高吸収性シート10と、複数の開孔を有する開孔フィルム20と、を備える吸収体であって、高吸収性シート10は、身体側表面が起毛した基体不織布11と、該基体不織布の起毛した部分の繊維間に固着担持された高吸収性ポリマー12と、を有し、開孔フィルム20は、少なくとも高吸収性シート10の身体側表面を覆っており、吸収体1の、ハンディ圧縮試験機KES-G5による、圧縮エネルギーWCが2.0gf・cm/cm2以上8.0gf・cm/cm2以下であり、圧縮回復性RCが35%以上65%以下である、吸収体1を提供する。【選択図】図3
