  • the sheet 28 is folded back against the upper side of the absorbent core 26 to cover side portions 26 a of the absorbent core 26 .
  • side edges 28 a of the sheet 28 are located on the colored sheet 27 to provide the liquid absorbent layer 25 with border areas 25 c of a width Wa. In the border areas 25 c , the sheet 28 extends over the colored sheet 27 .
  • the colored sheet 27 is a hydrophilic tissue paper colored blue, green or red, while the sheet 28 is a white hydrophilic tissue paper.
  • the absorbent core 26 is composed of a fluff pulp (crushed pulp) layer 41 , containing first superabsorbent polymer (first SAP) 42 , and second superabsorbent polymer (second SAP) 43 located between the fluff pulp layer 41 and the colored sheet 27 .
  • first SAP superabsorbent polymer
  • second SAP superabsorbent polymer
  • the first SAP 42 has a faster liquid absorption rate than the second SAP 43 .
  • the first SAP 42 and the second SAP 43 are polymers such as polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol or maleic anhydride.
  • particulate polymer whose surface is cross-linked may be used for the second SAP 43 and particulate polymer whose surface is not cross-linked at all or weakly cross-linked may be used for the first SAP 42 .
  • the particle size of the first SAP 42 may be made smaller than that of the second SAP 43 .
  • the hydrophilic sheet 32 may be a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric such as a spunlaced nonwoven fabric formed of cellulosic fibers (e.g., pulp and rayon) alone or a combination of cellulosic fibers and synthetic resin fibers treated to be hydrophilic, a through-air bonded nonwoven fabric formed of heat-fusible synthetic resin fibers treated to be hydrophilic, or a point-bonded nonwoven fabric formed of heat-fusible synthetic resin fibers treated to be hydrophilic.
  • the hydrophilic sheet 32 is greater than (preferably at least 1.2 times, more preferably at least 1.5 times) the tissue papers used for the colored sheet 27 and the sheet 28 .
  • the topsheet 33 may be an apertured resin film (e.g., apertured PE film) formed with a large number of apertures 33 a for allowing liquid passage.
  • a whitening agent such as titanium oxide is added to the resin film.
  • the topsheet 33 is a so-called perforated film in which the apertures 33 a are formed by softening a resin film on a net-like or apertured base and then sucking the resin film from the underside of the net-like or apertured base.
  • the individual apertures 33 a are through-holes extending in the thickness direction of the film and tapered toward the liquid absorbent layer 25 .
  • the area ratio of the apertures 33 a to the topsheet 33 is in the range of 10 to 60%.
  • the perforated film may be treated to be hydrophilic such as by applying a surfactant to the film surface or kneading the resin with a surfactant.
  • the color of the colored sheet 27 can be seen through the topsheet 33 and the hydrophilic sheet 32 in the center region 22 .
  • the center region 22 takes on a white-blue (or bluish white) color.
  • the white sheet 28 is laid on the colored sheet 27 in the border areas 25 c of the liquid absorbent layer 25 , the center region 22 is more white (or less bluish) in the border areas 25 c than in an intermediate area between the border areas 25 c.
  • the side regions 23 , 24 outside the generally white-blue center region 22 are substantially white.
  • the topsheet 33 may be a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric, an apertured nonwoven fabric, or a laminated material of an apertured resin film and a nonwoven fabric. Also in this case, the color of the colored sheet 27 need be seen through the topsheet 33 .
  • Urine applied to the center region 22 can be absorbed and retained in the liquid absorbent layer 25 via the hydrophilic sheet 32 after passing through the apertures 33 a of the topsheet 33 . Since the second SAP 43 having a slow liquid absorption rate is located beneath the colored sheet 27 and the first SAP 42 having a faster liquid absorption rate than the second SAP 43 is dispersed in the fluff pulp layer 41 , the liquid absorbent layer 25 can retain much water as a whole. At the same time time, the second SAP 43 , which is located between the fluff pulp layer 41 and the colored sheet 27 and which has a slow liquid absorption rate, hardly interferes with liquid migration, allowing rapid permeation into the fluff pulp layer 41 .
  • the pet sheet 21 is suitable for long time use.
  • the individual apertures 33 a are tapered toward the liquid absorbent layer 25 , as shown in FIG. 5 . Therefore, urine absorbed in the liquid absorbent layer 25 is inhibited from oozing out to the surface of the topsheet 33 .
  • urine applied to the side regions 23 , 24 may be absorbed and retained in the hydrophilic sheet 32 outside the center region 22 or migrate to the center region 22 via the hydrophilic sheet 32 for absorption and retention in the liquid absorbent layer 25 .
  • urine applied to the side regions 23 , 24 can also be retained so as not to flow out of the pet sheet 21 .
  • the hydrophilic sheet 32 is in contact with the liquid absorbent layer 25 , urine applied to the side regions 23 , 24 can be readily drawn into the liquid absorbent layer 25 via the hydrophilic sheet 32 .
  • the hydrophilic sheet 32 is greater in thickness and basis weight than the tissue papers used for the colored sheet 27 and the sheet 28 , it is effective in preventing urine from flowing along or puddling in the side regions 23 , 24 .
  • Pets such as dogs or cats are trained to micturate or defecate on the pet sheet 21 with their feet on the center region 22 . This can be accomplished without difficulty because the center region 22 takes on a color different from that of the side regions 23 , 24 due to the presence of the colored sheet 27 . Even in this case, urine may sometimes be applied to the side regions 23 , 24 outside the center region 22 , but urine applied to the side regions 23 , 24 can be readily absorbed in the liquid absorbent layer 25 via the hydrophilic sheet 32 as described hereinabove.
