In an ultra-thin absorbent sheet member 1a in which an absorbent
polymer powder 3 is adhered to one surface of a first nonwoven fabric 2
by a hotmelt adhesive such that absorbent polymer powder present areas 2c
and absorbent polymer powder absent areas 2a, 2b exist;
the absorbent polymer powder absent areas are present at opposite widthwise ends
(2a) of the ultra-thin absorbent sheet member and at least one position
(2b) between the opposite ends; the absorbent polymer powder 3
is bonded to the first nonwoven fabric 2 by first hotmelt adhesive layers
S1 formed on an upper side of the first nonwoven fabric 2 and on
a lower side of the absorbent polymer powder 3 and a second hotmelt adhesive
layer S2 formed to cover upper sides of the absorbent polymer powder present
areas 2c and the absorbent polymer powder absent areas 2a,
2b; and the first hotmelt adhesive layer S1 and the second
hotmelt adhesive layer S2 are both made of an aggregate of linear hotmelt
adhesive pieces.
