An absorptive article having a superior liquid-absorptivity, without returning of the absorbed body fluid and being compact is provided. which article comprises a liquid-permeable front sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet and an absorbent placed between the above two sheets, this absorbent being composed of at least two layers. As those used in the first layer and the second layer in Examples 1 to 3 were mixed to obtain homogeneous absorbents. The preparation conditions, the quantity of liquid absorbed, the percentage of absorbed liquid and the tensile strength after dried, these absorbers are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
