The present invention provides: a water-absorbing agent which has
excellent urine resistance; a water-absorbing agent which has not only
excellent urine resistance, but also excellent absorption properties that
are stable to any composition of urine and show little change with time;
and production processes and uses for these water-absorbing agents. The
present invention water-absorbing agent exhibits a specific or larger
value of absorption capacity under a load in a process in which the
absorption capacity under a load is measured in a new manner using a
specific liquid to be absorbed, and the present invention provides an
absorbent matter and an absorbent article which display a specific or
larger value of new absorption index as is, for example, led from the
absorption capacity under a load or from the resin concentration using
the above water-absorbing agent. The present invention further provides a
production process for a water-absorbing agent having the above specific
parameter.
