The mass of the collagen film before absorption was subtracted from this mass to calculate the mass of artificial urine absorbed by the collagen film. This value was defined as the wetback amount (the sum of the wetback amount derived from the top sheet and the wetback amount derived from the absorber). In the measurement of the amount of wetback derived from the topsheet, after the third artificial urine was injected and left for 10 minutes, only the topsheet was peeled off, and an OHP film (VF1300 manufactured by KOKUYO) was interposed between the absorber and the topsheet.
  • the wetback amount the sum of the wetback amount derived from the top sheet and the wetback amount derived from the absorber.
  • the amount of wet back derived from the absorber was determined by subtracting the amount of wet back derived from the topsheet from the above liquid return amount.
  • Comparative Example 2 in which the fiber processing agent having the same main component as the first nonwoven fabric layer is applied to the second nonwoven fabric layer has a contact angle difference of 0 degrees after passing through, and the wetback is greater than any of the examples. It has grown up.
  • Example 8 in which the second nonwoven fabric layer contains 50% of a main component different from the first nonwoven fabric layer has a contact angle difference after passing through larger than 0 degrees, and wetback. was smaller than Comparative Example 2.
  • a nonwoven fabric that can maintain liquid permeability control even after a plurality of times of liquid passage.
  • the occurrence of wetback is effectively prevented.
