Patent ID: 7884259

Claim:
An absorbent article comprising a body fluid permeable top sheet, a body fluid impermeable sheet, an absorbent body provided between the body fluid permeable top sheet and the body fluid impermeable sheet, and an exterior sheet of a non-woven fabric provided on a back surface side of the body fluid impermeable sheet, wherein the absorbent body includes a fiber aggregate formed by opening a tow, an absorbent core having a super absorbent polymer particle retained within the fiber aggregate, and a covering sheet covering at least a backside and sides of the absorbent core; the absorbent core has a thickness of 1 to 5 nun; the fiber aggregate comprises crimped fibers having a fineness of 1 to 16 deniers and a degree of crimps of 15 to 50 numbers per one inch, a fiber basis weight of said fiber aggregate being 0.075 g/cm 2 or less; an amount of water absorption of the super absorbent polymer particle is 50 g/g or higher, and a particle diameter of the super absorbent polymer particle is 20-850 μm; a basis weight of the super absorbent polymer particle in the absorbent core is 400 g/cm 2 or below, and a weight ratio of super absorbent polymer particle/filament in a planer area of 5 cm×5 cm in a region of directly receiving body fluids in the absorbent core is 3 to 9; a holding sheet is provided, on a backside of the absorbent body, between the absorbent core and the covering sheet, the holding sheet being applied with hot melt adhesives so that the super absorbent polymer particle slipped out of the fiber aggregate is held on the holding sheet via the hot melt adhesives and prevented from moving; and the holding sheet is composed of non-woven cloth that has a rough surface or fuzzing surface on a top face thereof.
