Moisture retaining body

Abstract

Disclosed is a moisture-retaining body having a water-absorbing surface, having a structure in which, from a water-absorbing surface side, a water-permeable layer having water disintegrability and water permeability, a moisture-retaining layer having water disintegrability, water absorbability, and water retainability, a water-repellent layer including a water-soluble film and dots of a dot-like water-repellent resin with a diameter of 5 μm to 150 μm dispersed on a surface side of the water-soluble film facing the moisture-retaining layer, and a support layer having water disintegrability are sequentially laminated, as a moisture-retaining body which is quickly dissolved or decomposed by coming into contact with a large amount of water when dumped in a flush toilet or the like while being prevented from being dissolved or decomposed by retained moisture.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
