Absorbent article

Abstract

Provided is an absorbent article capable of fully utilizing absorption capacity of an absorption layer downstream in a liquid supply direction in a structure in which a plurality of absorption layers are laminated. An absorbent article-includes a first absorption layer and a second absorption layer configured to absorb liquid, and a diffusion layer that is interposed between the first absorption layer and the second absorption layer and diffuses the liquid in a direction in which a plane of the second absorption layer spreads. The first absorption layer includes an absorbent resin configured to absorb liquid. The first absorption layer includes an absorption region including the absorbent resin, and a passage region that has a lower density of the absorbent resin than a density of the absorbent resin in the absorption region. The passage region allows the liquid to pass through the diffusion layer.
