3. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein a content of water in the heat generating layer is 12% by mass to 28% by mass.

4. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the water absorbent polymer in the heat generating layer is 5 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of a content of the oxidizable metal.

5. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein a mass proportion of the content of the water absorbent polymer to a content of the carbon component (water absorbent polymer/carbon component) in the heat generating layer is 0.4 to 5.

6. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the water absorbent polymer is disposed so as to be in contact with the water absorbent sheet.

7. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein the water absorbent sheet is positioned on a skin side of the heating tool adapted to contact skin of a user, and the heat generating layer is disposed on a side of the heating tool opposite to the skin side of the heating tool.

8. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein the basis weight of the water absorbent polymer contained in the heat generating layer is 25 g/m 2 to 80 g/m 2 in a dry state, and the basis weight of the water absorbent sheet is 100 g/m 2 to 400 g/m 2 in a dry state.

9. The heating tool according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the carbon component is 0.3 parts by mass to 20 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the content of the oxidizable metal.
