Hemp-based absorbent articles are disclosed. The absorbent article can be a tampon or pad for feminine hygiene. The absorbent article can be flushable or compostable. In one example, the absorbent article is a flushable tampon for feminine hygiene having a nonwoven material comprising hemp with a hemp fiber length in a range of about 8 mm to about 15 mm. The nonwoven material can include an absorbent ribbon, a string, and an overwrap.

An absorbent article may include a top sheet that is liquid-permeable, a back sheet that is liquid-impermeable, and an absorbent body situated between the top sheet and the back sheet in a thickness direction. At least one of the top sheet and the back sheet may include a synthetic resin sheet that includes a synthetic resin component and an oxidative decomposer comprising a mixture of a carboxylate and a rare earth compound. The synthetic resin sheet may contain the oxidative decomposer in a mass ratio such that a decomposition rate index (D.sub.i), as determined by formula (1), is 7.8 or less:
D.sub.i=B.sub.r×S.sub.a  (1)
where B.sub.r represents a mass ratio (g/g) of the oxidative decomposer with respect to the synthetic resin component, and S.sub.a represents a specific surface area (cm.sup.2/g) of the synthetic resin sheet.
