Absorbent article and wearable article including absorbent article

A wearable article, comprising:

• an absorbent article;
• and
• an exterior body, provided with a liquid-permeable top sheet with a fitting side in which the absorbent article is fitted, and a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and having an abdomen side section, a crotch section and a back side section,
• wherein
• the absorbent article is fitted in a detachable manner on the fitting side,
• the absorbent article is configured to absorb urine containing a solid component,
• the absorbent article includes a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet and a liquid-absorbing absorbent body disposed between the top sheet of the absorbent article and the back sheet of the absorbent article, and has a lengthwise direction, a widthwise direction and a thickness direction that are mutually orthogonal,
• the top sheet of the absorbent article is a nonwoven fabric with a skin side surface in which a projection is formed,
• a content of fibers oriented in the thickness direction at the projection of the nonwoven fabric is greater than a content of fibers oriented in the thickness direction at a section other than the projection of the nonwoven fabric,
• a wet thickness of the nonwoven fabric is at least 85% of a dry thickness of the nonwoven fabric, and
• the nonwoven fabric has a first fiber layer with a skin side surface and a second fiber layer located more toward the absorbent body side than the first fiber layer, the first fiber layer is composed of fibers with durable hydrophilicity and the second fiber layer is composed of fibers with durable hydrophilicity and fibers with non-durable hydrophilicity.

A nonwoven fabric for a liquid-permeable top sheet of an absorbent article for absorbing urine containing a solid component, wherein the absorbent article comprises the liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet and a liquid-absorbing absorbent body disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet, and has a lengthwise direction, a widthwise direction and a thickness direction that are mutually orthogonal,

• wherein the nonwoven fabric has a skin side surface in which a projection is formed,
• a content of fibers oriented in the thickness direction at the projection of the nonwoven fabric is greater than a content of fibers oriented in the thickness direction at a section other than the projection of the nonwoven fabric,
• a wet thickness of the nonwoven fabric is at least 85% of a dry thickness of the nonwoven fabric, and
• the nonwoven fabric has a first fiber layer with a skin side surface and a second fiber layer located more toward the absorbent body side than the first fiber layer, the first fiber layer is composed of fibers with durable hydrophilicity and the second fiber layer is composed of fibers with durable hydrophilicity and fibers with non-durable hydrophilicity.
