  • the water-absorbent resin particles were passed through a JIS Z 8801-1 standard sieve having an opening of 250 ⁇ m.
  • the median particle size was measured using the following combination of sieves (A), and when the amount remaining on the sieve was less than 50% by mass, the median particle size was measured using the following combination of sieves (B).
  • the water-absorbent resin particles were placed in the sieve located at the top stage, and the particles were classified by shaking for 20 minutes using a continuous fully automatic ultrasonic vibration sieving measuring device (Robot Sifter RPS-205, manufactured by Seishin Enterprise Co., Ltd.). After classification, the ratio (mass percentage) of the water-absorbent resin particles remaining on each sieve to the total amount was calculated. By accumulating the ratios of the fractions with larger particle diameters in order, the relationship between the sieve openings and the accumulated value of the ratio of the water-absorbent resin particles remaining on the sieve was plotted on logarithmic probability paper. The particle diameter equivalent to an accumulated mass percentage of 50% by mass was determined by connecting the plots on the probability paper with a straight line, and this value was taken as the median particle diameter.
  • the total mass of particles with a particle diameter of 150 ⁇ m or less was calculated by adding up the mass of the water-absorbent resin particles remaining on the tray in the sieve combination (A) and the mass of the sieve with a mesh size of 106 ⁇ m, the sieve with a mesh size of 75 ⁇ m, and the water-absorbent resin particles remaining on the tray in the sieve combination (B). From this and the total mass of the water-absorbent resin particles, the ratio (mass percentage) of particles with a particle diameter of 150 ⁇ m or less to the total amount of water-absorbent resin particles was calculated.
  • Each of the two laminates was sprayed with 1.0 g of water evenly using a sprayer, and then a load of 500 kPa was applied for 30 seconds. Then, 3.0 g of water-absorbent resin particles were evenly spread on the hydrophilic fiber layer to form a water-absorbent resin particle layer.
  • a second shape-retaining member (tissue) having a size of 20 cm x 20 cm and a basis weight of 16 g/ m2 was laminated on the water-absorbent resin particle layer to obtain a laminate having, from the bottom, the first shape-retaining member, the hydrophilic fiber layer, the water-absorbent resin particle layer, and the second shape-retaining member.
  • An air-through nonwoven fabric (KNH Enterprise Co., Ltd., basis weight: 25 g/m 2 ) having a size of 20 cm x 20 cm and coated with a hot melt adhesive (Henkel Japan Co., Ltd., ME- 765E ) was laminated on the second shape-retaining member of this laminate in a direction in which the hot melt adhesive contacts the second shape-retaining member, thereby obtaining an absorbent article.
  • 0.1 g of hot melt adhesive was applied to the air-through nonwoven fabric so as to form a spiral stripe pattern of 20 stripes arranged at 10 mm intervals.
  • the basis weight of the water-absorbent resin particles was 75 g/m 2 and the basis weight of the hydrophilic fiber (crushed pulp) was 45 g/m 2 .
  • FIG. 1 is a plan view showing an example of the state in which the artificial urine has diffused through the absorbent article.
  • the sample was allowed to stand for a further period of time, and 20 hours after the dropping of the artificial urine, the length d1'' of the region DA in which the artificial urine had diffused within the absorbent article 50 was measured in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article at a position passing through the central portion C, and the length d2'' of the region DA in the lateral direction of the absorbent article at a position passing through the central portion C.
