Abstract

A water repellency-imparted fiber article (10) of the present invention includes: a fiber article (1) having a skin-facing surface (1a) and a non-skin-facing surface (1b); and a water repellency-imparting agent attached to the fiber article (1). The fiber article (1) contains a water-absorbent fiber and has water absorbency in terms of a water absorption time of 30 seconds or less as measured in accordance with the dropping method of JIS L-1907. The water repellency-imparted fiber article (10) has a non-skin-side water-repellent region (2) on the non-skin-facing surface (1b) of the fiber article (1), the non-skin-side water-repellent region (2) including a portion to which the water repellency-imparting agent is attached. The water repellency-imparted fiber article (10) has a water absorbing layer (11) in a section of the fiber article that overlaps the non-skin-side water-repellent region (2) in a plan view and on a side that is closer to the skin of a user than the non-skin-side water-repellent region (2), the water absorbing layer maintaining the water absorbency. A surface of the non-skin-side water-repellent region 2 has a water contact angle of 80 degrees or greater and a water absorption rate of 10 seconds or greater.
