Absorbent body and absorbent article

An absorber comprising:

• a first water absorption layer;
• and
• a second water absorption layer laminated on the first water absorption layer,
• wherein the first water absorption layer contains water-absorbent resin particles (I) having a water retention capacity of physiological saline of 32 to 80 g/g and a one-minute value of a lockup height of 1.6 cm or less,
• the second water absorption layer contains water-absorbent resin particles (II) having a one-minute value of a lockup height of more than 1.6 cm, and
• the one-minute value of the lockup height is measured by the following procedures,
• (1) 0.200 g of water-absorbent resin particles are disposed over an entire bottom surface in a cylinder having an inner diameter of 2.0 cm and a depth of 8.0 cm to form a particle layer, and a height of the particle layer is denoted by H0 [cm],
• (2) 20 g of physiological saline is injected to the particle layer to swell the particle layer, and
• (3) the height of the particle layer is recorded as H1′ one minute after a total amount of the physiological saline is injected, and a one-minute value [cm] of the lockup height is calculated from Expression:
• H1′−H0.
