The present invention provides: an aqueous adhesive which uses an adhesive component that does not contain resorcinol and formalin, and which exhibits excellent adhesion between fibers and an elastomer, while being capable of suppressing contamination in a production step of reinforcement fibers; reinforcement fibers which use this aqueous adhesive; and an elastomer product which uses the reinforcement fibers. The present invention provides an aqueous adhesive for bonding fibers and an elastomer to each other, the aqueous adhesive being characterized by containing (A) an oil-in-water emulsion which contains a liquid conjugated diene rubber and a surfactant, and (B) an aqueous solution or aqueous dispersion of a crosslinking agent.
