What is claimed is: 1. An absorbent article for body fluids capable of absorbing and retaining body fluids, the absorbent article comprising: an absorbent member which contracts on contacting body fluids; wherein the absorbent member comprises a contraction material having a predetermined length and contracting on contacting body fluids and an absorbent material for body fluids practically united with the contraction material; wherein the absorbent material for body fluids comprises a highly absorbent polymer, a retaining carrier, and the contraction material; wherein the highly absorbent polymer of the absorbent member is arranged intermittently on the retaining carrier in the direction of contraction; wherein the predetermined length of the absorbent member in the direction of contraction where the highly absorbent polymer is not arranged in the retaining carrier is adjusted to be from 30 to 400% of the length of the absorbent member in the direction of contraction where the highly absorbent polymer is arranged. 2. An absorbent article for body fluids capable of absorbing and retaining body fluids, comprising: an absorbent member which contracts on contacting body fluids; wherein the absorbent member comprises a contraction material having a predetermined length and contracting on contacting body fluids and an absorbent material for body fluids practically united with the contraction material; wherein the absorbent material for body fluids comprises a highly absorbent polymer, a retaining carrier, and the contraction material; wherein the highly absorbent polymer of the absorbent member is arranged intermittently on the retaining carrier in the direction of contraction; wherein the contraction material is fixed to the absorbent member where the highly absorbent polymer is arranged in the direction of contraction of the retaining carrier and is not fixed to the absorbent member where the highly absorbent polymer is not arranged. 3. An absorbent article capable of absorbing and retaining body fluids, the absorbent article comprising: an absorbent member which contracts on contacting body fluids; wherein a plurality of cushion members are provided and an absorbent member is arranged between the cushion members; wherein the cushion members comprise a shape extending to the longitudinal direction of the product and are arranged in a plurality lines intermittently in the width direction of the absorbent article; wherein the cushion members are constructed by enclosing a body fluid-absorbent cushioning material in a closed pouch-like body made of a sheet permeable to body fluids; wherein the pouch-like body of the cushion member is partitioned to have a plurality of compartments and the body fluid-absorbent cushioning material is enclosed in these compartments respectively; wherein the partitions are constructed so as to be removed on contacting body fluids. 4. The absorbent article of claim 3, wherein the partitions are formed by bonding the inner surfaces of the pouch-like body to each other using a water-dispersion type hot melt adhesive. 5. The absorbent article of claim 3, wherein the partitions are formed by bonding the inner surfaces of the pouch-like body to each other using a water-soluble adhesive.
