An absorbent article includes an absorbent core, a liquid impervious backsheet, a liquid pervious topsheet, a functional layer, an adhesive layer and a releasable film. The functional layer includes a plurality of functional particles that are made from a material selected from sodium carbonate, argireline, mineral rock crystal, porphyritic andesite, borneol, mint essential oil, eucalyptus essential oil, jasmine essential oil, far-infrared radiation particles and combinations thereof.

Solutions containing cyclodextrins for imparting odor control to materials used in absorbent products and associated products and methods. The solutions containing cyclodextrins for imparting odor control to materials used in absorbent products contain an optional polar organic solvent, water, cyclodextrin, and one or more odor-controlling compounds. The solutions can be used to uniformly apply a homogeneous solution of a cyclodextrin complex onto a solid surface whereby the cyclodextrin complex precipitates in situ on the solid surface. The cyclodextrin complex precipitates deposited from these solutions rapidly release odor-masking scents when hydrated with urine and can be deposited on substrates more effectively than cyclodextrin complexes in solid form.

[Problem] To provide an absorbent article further suppressing occurrence of malodor after absorbing body fluid, [Solution] An absorbent article comprising a liquid permeable top sheet disposed on a skin surface side, a liquid impermeable back sheet disposed on an external surface side, and at least one water absorbent layer disposed between the top sheet and the back sheet, wherein the water absorbent layer includes a water absorbent resin powder, a deodorizing sheet supporting a polyphenol compound is disposed closer to the skin surface side than the back sheet, and a metal ion is substituted for a part of hydrogen atoms of phenolic hydroxy groups of the polyphenol compound.
