A liquid absorber that is constituted mainly by fibers, includes fusion bondable resin, and is configured to absorb liquid, includes a first surface having a largest surface area, and a second surface perpendicular to the first surface. The second surface includes a surface low in degree of fusion bond of the fusion bondable resin and a surface high in degree of fusion bond of the fusion bondable resin that has a higher degree of fusion bond of the fusion bondable resin than the surface low in degree of fusion bond, and at least a part of the surface low in degree of fusion bond absorbs the liquid.
