It is an object to provide an absorber wherein crushed tea leaves having a particle size of 0.05 to 4.6 mm are dispersed and held within a pulp fiber material having a fiber length of 0.1 to 7 mm, the absorber is superior in water-absorbing, drying, and odor-eliminating performances, exhibits a good visual quality, and can maintain sanitary conditions for a longer time, and sanitary articles using the absorber. An upper water-absorbing paper layer portion to form an upper surface, a lower water-absorbing paper layer portion to form a lower surface, and a water-absorbing mixture layer portion provided between the upper water-absorbing paper layer portion and the lower water-absorbing paper layer portion are overlapped in layers and integrated to form the absorber; the water-absorbing mixture layer portion is formed by including a crushed pulp fiber material beaten to have a fiber length of 0.1 to 7 mm, crushed tea leaves having a particle size of 0.05 to 4.6 mm, and a water-absorbing resin in an amount less than the crushed pulp fiber material; the absorber and sanitary articles using the absorber can provide sanitary articles with excellent sanitary affairs and superior odor-eliminating performance due to mixing the crushed tea leaves and also without degrading water-absorbing property.
