Absorber and sanitary article

A method of producing an absorber having an absorption layer comprising a superabsorbent polymer and a spunbond nonwoven fabric composed of an olefinic polymer composition, the method comprising:

• step (I):
• forming long fibers from a melted olefinic polymer composition, drawing and thinning the long fibers, and accumulating the long fibers on a collecting belt to obtain a spunbond nonwoven fabric,
• step (II):
• sprinkling a superabsorbent polymer onto the spunbond nonwoven fabric on the collecting belt,
• step (III):
• obtaining a laminate by layering, on the collecting belt, a spunbond nonwoven fabric different from the spunbond nonwoven fabric on the collecting belt, and
• step (IV):
• performing a surface shaping processing on the laminate on the collecting belt.
