Absorbent article

Abstract

Provided is an absorbent article comprising water-absorbent resin particles and an activated carbon, which has an excellent deodorizing effect. An absorbent article comprising at least a liquid-permeable sheet; a liquid-impermeable sheet; and an absorbent material comprising water-absorbent resin particles and an activated carbon, disposed between the liquid-permeable sheet and the liquid-impermeable sheet, wherein the absorbent material comprises water-absorbent resin particles, and the water-absorbent resin particles have a heat release rate of 0.10° C./sec or more and 1.00° C./sec or less as measured by the following method of measuring the heat release rate: (Method of Measuring the Heat Release Rate) 50 g of physiological saline at 24.9° C. is added into a 300 mL volume, cylindrical thermally insulated container and stirred at 600 rpm; while stirring the physiological saline. 10 g of the water-absorbent resin particles are further added into the thermally insulated container, and the thermally insulated container is closed with a cork stopper having a thermometer; and a time required for the temperature of the physiological saline to increase by 2.0° C. after the addition of the water-absorbent resin particles is measured, and a value of heat release temperature per second is calculated as the heat release rate.
