Absorbent article

Abstract

Provided is an absorbent article capable of suppressing leakage of liquid that could not be absorbed from edges in the longitudinal direction. An absorbent article comprises: a first absorbent layer formed with a crushed fibrous material and extending in the longitudinal direction; and a second absorbent layer formed with a sheet-like material retaining an absorbent resin material and falling into the region of the first absorbent layer in the planar view. The first absorbent layer includes, in the planar view, an overlapping part that overlaps with the region of the second absorbent layer, and protruding parts that protrude in the longitudinal direction from the region of the second absorbent layer. The absorbent article is used so that the first absorbent layer is positioned on the side of a user and the second absorbent layer is positioned on the opposite side of the user relative to the first absorbent layer.
