Provided is an absorbent article that efficiently increases the volume of excreta that can be absorbed and held. The liquid-absorbing pad (1) has a skin-facing surface and a non-skin-facing surface and is equipped with a surface sheet (2) disposed on the skin-facing surface, a back sheet (3) disposed on the non-skin-facing surface, and a liquid-absorbing structure (10) that lies between the surface sheet (2) and the back sheet (3). The liquid-absorbing structure (10) comprises two superposed layers, a first and a second absorption layer (21, 41). The first absorption layer (21) is disposed on the skin-facing surface side, and has a particle-comprising region (24) where absorbent polymer particles are present and a particle-less region (25) where the absorbent polymer particles are substantially absent. The second absorption layer (41) is disposed on the non-skin-facing surface side, comprises hydrophilic fibers (19) and absorbent polymer particles, and is formed so as to have a high density region (44) where the density of hydrophilic fibers (19) is high and a low density region (45) where the density of hydrophilic fibers (19) is low. The first absorption layer (21) is layered on the second absorption layer (41) so that the particle-less region (25) and the low density region (45) overlap. The low density region (45) and the high density region (44) are connected via the hydrophilic fibers (19). |
