The present invention provides a hot melt adhesive suitable for use in disposable products, which can be applied at a high speed and provides excellent in adhesion in a wet state and low-temperature coating, with little odor. The hot melt adhesive for disposable products comprises: (A) a propylene homopolymer having a melting point of 100° C. or lower obtained by polymerizing propylene using a metallocene catalyst; and (B) a wax modified with carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid anhydride. The wet adhesion of the hot melt adhesive is improved when the wax is modified with maleic acid and/or maleic anhydride.
