Disclosure of Invention

However, in a state before the absorbent article is attached, the standing portion may not stand sufficiently, and the attachment assistant may not recognize the leakage preventing cuffs. Therefore, when the attachment assistant attaches the absorbent pad to the absorbent article, the absorbent pad may be placed on the leakproof rib top (i.e., the skin surface side of the standing part) without being placed on the non-skin surface side of the standing part. In this case, the rising of the rising portion is hindered by the absorbent pad, and therefore, side leakage of excrement is likely to occur. Further, since the absorbent pad is not fixed, the absorbent pad may shift due to the movement of the wearer, and the wearing feeling of the absorbent article may deteriorate.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article having a pair of leg cuffs and to which an absorbent pad can be attached, the absorbent article being easy to guide the absorbent pad to be inserted into the non-skin surface side of the rising portion.

An absorbent article according to one aspect includes: a front-rear direction and a width direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction; and a pair of leg cuffs extending in the front-rear direction and disposed on both sides of the absorbent article with a widthwise center being a widthwise center of the absorbent article interposed therebetween. The leakproof rib top is provided with: a rising portion capable of rising from a rising edge toward the skin surface side by the contraction in the front-rear direction; and a front-rear joining section which is located further to the outside in the front-rear direction than the rising section and is joined so as not to rise toward the skin surface side. The absorbent article can be fitted with an absorbent pad. The absorbent article has a mark section indicating the arrangement position of the end section of the absorbent pad in the front-rear direction. At least a part of the marking portion is disposed at a position further toward the outside in the width direction than the rising end edge and further toward the inside in the front-rear direction than the front-rear joint portion.

Detailed Description

(1) Brief description of the embodiments

An absorbent article of one form has: a front-rear direction and a width direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction; and a pair of leg cuffs extending in the front-rear direction and disposed on both sides of the absorbent article with a widthwise center being a widthwise center of the absorbent article interposed therebetween. The leakproof rib top is provided with: a rising portion capable of rising from a rising edge toward the skin surface side by the contraction in the front-rear direction; and a front-rear joining portion that is located on the outer side in the front-rear direction than the rising portion and is joined so as not to rise toward the skin surface side. The absorbent article can be fitted with an absorbent pad. The absorbent article has a mark section indicating the arrangement position of the end section of the absorbent pad in the front-rear direction. At least a part of the mark portion is disposed at a position outside the rising edge in the width direction and inside the front-rear direction of the front-rear joint portion.

When the position of the end of the absorbent pad is aligned with the arrangement position indicated by the mark, the attachment assistant visually recognizes not only the mark but also the width center so that the position of the center in the width direction of the absorbent pad is aligned with the width center of the absorbent article. Therefore, in the absorbent article described above, at least part of the mark portion is disposed at a position outside the rising edge in the width direction and inside the front-rear direction of the front-rear joining portion, and therefore, when the attachment assistant adjusts the attachment position of the absorbent pad while visually recognizing the mark portion and the width center, the rising portion easily enters the field of view. Thus, the installation assistant can visually recognize the rising part, easily recognize the rib leakage preventing opening, and guide the installation assistant to put the absorption pad into the non-skin side of the rising part.

According to a preferred aspect, a length from the front-rear joint portion to the mark portion may be shorter than a maximum length of the mark portion in the front-rear direction. Thus, the mark portion is disposed in the vicinity of the front-rear joint portion, and therefore, the corner of the pocket (space) formed by the rising edge of the rising portion in the front-rear direction (i.e., the inner end edge of the front-rear joint portion) and the rising edge of the rising portion in the width direction is easily visible. Since the outer edge (i.e., the corner) of the end of the absorbent pad is likely to enter the vicinity of the corner of the bag, the attachment assistant can be guided to place the absorbent pad on the non-skin surface side of the standing part by making the attachment assistant recognize the corner of the bag. Further, since the corner of the bag is a portion where the rising portion starts rising, the rising height of the rising portion around the corner of the bag becomes low. By placing the absorbent pad near the corner of the bag, the absorbent pad is not easily displaced in the front-rear direction, as well as in the width direction. As a result, the absorption performance of the absorbent pad can be sufficiently exhibited, and deterioration of the wearing feeling due to displacement of the absorbent pad can be suppressed.

According to a preferred aspect, the absorbent article may include: a front waistline region, a rear waistline region, and a crotch region disposed between the front waistline region and the rear waistline region; and a fastening tape which is disposed in the rear waistline region and is fixed to the front waistline region. At least a part of the marking portion may be disposed rearward of a front end edge of the hook and loop fastener. Since the fastening tape is fixed to the front waistline region, the region on the rear side of the front end edge of the fastening tape is in close contact with the body of the wearer, and therefore the absorbent pad is less likely to shift from an ideal position. As a result, the absorption performance of the absorbent pad can be sufficiently exhibited, and deterioration of the wearing feeling due to displacement of the absorbent pad can be suppressed.

According to a preferred aspect, at least a part of the marking portion may be disposed forward of a rear end edge of the hook and loop fastener. Thus, the fastening tape is fixed to the front waistline region in a state where the position of the absorbent pad is aligned with the marker, and the region between the front end edge and the rear end edge of the fastening tape is brought into close contact with the body of the wearer, so that the position of the end portion of the absorbent pad is less likely to be displaced from the marker.

According to a preferred aspect, the absorbent article may have an absorbent core. At least a part of the mark portion may be disposed at a position overlapping the absorbent core in the thickness direction at a position inward in the width direction with respect to the outer edge of the absorbent core. In general, the end portion of the absorbent pad is disposed on the inner side in the width direction than the outer edge of the absorbent core so that even if excrement leaks from the absorbent pad to the absorbent core, the leaked excrement can be absorbed. At least part of the mark portion is arranged at a position inward in the width direction of the outer edge of the absorbent core, so that the attachment assistant can easily attach the absorbent pad to the absorbent article correctly in a manner that the end portion of the absorbent pad overlaps the absorbent core.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark portion may be disposed on a non-skin surface side of the sheet constituting the leakage preventing rib port. Thus, the mark portion does not come into direct contact with the skin of the wearer, and therefore, the influence of the mark portion on the skin of the wearer (for example, in the case where the mark portion is provided by printing with ink, the ink moves to the skin, or the ink damages the skin, etc.) can be suppressed.

According to a preferred aspect, the marking portion may be disposed so as to straddle the rising edge. In the region on the inner side in the width direction than the rising edge, the mark portion is not clearly visible due to the rising portion, and on the other hand, in the region on the outer side in the width direction than the rising edge, the sheet constituting the rib leakage preventing opening is fixed, so even if the mark portion is disposed on the non-skin surface side of the sheet, the mark portion is easily visible clearly than the region on the inner side. Therefore, the installation assistant wants to clearly view the mark portion in the inner region and easily turn up the rising portion. The standing part is guided to be turned up, so that the installation assistant can be guided to place the absorbent pad on the non-skin surface side of the standing part.

According to a preferred aspect, the absorbent article may include a contractible member having contractibility. The mark portion may be disposed in a region that does not overlap with the shrinkage member in the thickness direction. Thus, the region in which the mark portion is disposed is less likely to be contracted by contraction of the contraction member, and degradation of visibility of the mark portion can be suppressed.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark portion may indicate the range of the front-rear direction of the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad. Thus, the attachment assistant can conceivably adjust the arrangement of the end portion of the absorbent pad within the range indicated by the mark portion. The mental burden on the installation assistant who needs to arrange the end of the absorption pad at a precise position for proper installation can be reduced. In addition, as compared with the case where the end portion of the absorbent pad is arranged at a precise position, the time for adjusting the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad can be reduced, and thus the mounting time can be easily shortened. In addition, the size of the absorbent pad sometimes differs depending on the manufacturer that manufactures the absorbent pad. The attachment assistant can freely adjust the arrangement of the end portion of the absorbent pad within the range indicated by the mark portion, and therefore the absorbent pad attached to the absorbent article is not easily restricted, and the absorbent pad can be arranged at a more appropriate position. In addition, even when a plurality of attachment assistants attach the absorbent article to the wearer, each attachment assistant can freely adjust the arrangement of the end portion of the absorbent pad within the range indicated by the marker, as compared with the case where the marker indicates the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad at a precise position. Therefore, each of the plurality of attachment assistants can appropriately attach the absorbent pad to the absorbent article.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark may graphically indicate that the mark is a mark for attaching the absorbent pad. Thereby, the installation assistant easily understands that the mark portion is used for installing the absorbent pad. It is difficult to align other parts of the wearer's body or the like with the marker, and the absorbent pad can be appropriately attached to the absorbent article.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark portion may indicate, by characters, that the mark portion is a mark for attaching the absorbent pad. Thus, the attachment assistant who visually recognizes the character can recognize that the absorbent pad should be arranged by using the mark portion, and thus it is possible to reduce the possibility that the attachment assistant erroneously arranges other parts such as the body of the wearer with reference to the mark portion.

According to a preferred aspect, the absorbent article may have another marker portion having a design different from that of the marker portion. The mark portion may be separated from the other mark portion in the front-rear direction. Thus, the wearer can easily recognize that the marked part is different from the other marked parts, and the possibility that the end of the absorbent pad is erroneously aligned with the other marked parts can be reduced.

According to a preferred aspect, at least a part of the mark portion may overlap with the other mark portion in the front-rear direction. Thus, when another marker is found, the marker can be found by moving the line of sight in the front-rear direction, and therefore the installation assistant can easily find the marker. Therefore, the attachment assistant who finds the mark part can easily recognize the leak preventive rib opening and can guide the attachment assistant to put the absorbent pad into the non-skin surface side of the standing part because the attachment assistant aligns the end part of the absorbent pad with the mark part as a reference.

In the following embodiments, "marker" described in the claims corresponds to a pad marker, and "other marker" described in the claims corresponds to a body marker.

(2) General structure of absorbent article

Hereinafter, an absorbent article according to an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. It should be noted, however, that the drawings are schematic, and the scale of each dimension and the like are different from the actual scale and the like.

The 1 st engaging portion 961 may be provided on the 1 st protruding portion 921, and the 2 nd engaging portion 962 may be provided on the 2 nd protruding portion 922.

(3) Pad marker

Next, the pad marking unit 30 will be described. The absorbent article 10 has a pad marker 30 indicating the arrangement position of the end of the absorbent pad 100 in the front-rear direction L. The pad markers 30 are used to attach the absorbent pad 100 to the absorbent article 10 at appropriate positions. The pad marker 30 may indicate the arrangement position of the rear end portion 100R of the absorbent pad 100. The pad mark 30 may indicate the position of the corner 100C formed by the rear end 100R and the outer side 100E of the absorbent pad 100. The pad markers 30 may be formed of a pair of pad markers 30 disposed on both outer sides of the width center WC of the absorbent article 10 in the width direction W.

The pad marker 30 can be visually recognized from the skin surface side T1 of the absorbent article 10. The pad marker 30 may be visually recognized. For example, in the L × a × b color system, the pad mark 30 having a color difference Δ E of 8 or more with respect to the periphery adjacent to the pad mark 30 can be visually recognized. The pad marker 30 can be provided by printing on the absorbent article 10 using oil-based ink, for example. The pad marker 30 may be provided using a colored hot melt adhesive.

The pad marking portion 30 may have a front end edge 30F positioned foremost in the front-rear direction L and a rear end edge 30R positioned rearmost in the front-rear direction L (see B of fig. 5). The pad marker 30 may have an inner edge 30I located innermost in the width direction W and an outer edge 30O located outermost in the width direction W (see B in fig. 5). The maximum length of the pad marker 30 in the front-rear direction L (i.e., the length in the front-rear direction L from the front end edge 30F to the rear end edge 30R) may be, for example, 20mm or more and 80mm or less. The maximum width of the pad marker 30 in the width direction W (i.e., the length in the width direction W from the inner edge 30I to the outer edge 30O) may be 20mm or more, and 80mm or less, for example. The maximum length and/or the maximum width of the pad marker 30 is 20mm or more, so that the pad marker 30 can be easily and clearly confirmed by visual observation. The maximum length and/or the maximum width of the pad mark 30 is 80mm or less, so that the size of the pad mark 30 is not increased more than necessary with respect to the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100, and therefore the attachment assistant can easily grasp the range of the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100.

As shown in fig. 3, the pad marking portion 30 may have a 1 st pad marking portion 31 indicating a range of the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 in the front-rear direction L. Thus, the pad mark 30 can indicate the range of the arrangement position of the end of the absorbent pad 100 in the front-rear direction L. The 1 st pad marking 31 may indicate a range of the arrangement position of the rear end portion 100R of the absorbent pad 100 in the front-rear direction L. The 1 st pad marker 31 may be configured by, for example, a double-headed arrow extending in the front-rear direction L. The range of the front-rear direction L of the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 can be represented by the length from the front end edge of the double-headed arrow to the rear end edge of the double-headed arrow. The length of the 1 st pad marking section 31 in the front-rear direction L may be, for example, 20mm or more and 80mm or less. The length of the 1 st pad marker 31 in the front-rear direction L may be, for example, 20mm or more and 60mm or less when the absorbent article 10 is of the S size and the M size, or 60mm or more and 80mm or less when the absorbent article 10 is of the L size.

The pad marker 30 may have a 2 nd pad marker 32 that graphically indicates that the pad marker 30 is a marker for mounting the absorbent pad 100. Thus, the pad mark 30 may graphically indicate that the pad mark 30 is a mark for mounting the absorbent pad 100. As shown in fig. 3, the 2 nd pad marker 32 may be constituted by a pattern of the absorbent pad 100. The 2 nd pad mark 32 may be formed of a pattern of an arrow toward the inside in the width direction, in addition to the pattern of the absorbent pad 100.

The pad marker 30 may have a 3 rd pad marker 33 indicating with letters that the pad marker 30 is a marker for attaching the absorbent pad 100. Thus, the pad mark 30 may indicate by letters that the pad mark 30 is a mark for attaching the absorbent pad 100. In the embodiment, the 3 rd pad mark 33 is formed by characters of "pad end". The 3 rd pad marking portion 33 may be formed of characters such as "pad" and "absorbent pad". The characters constituting the 3 rd pad mark portion 33 may be expressed in japanese, english, or other languages (for example, chinese).

In the embodiment, the pad marker 30 is composed of a 1 st pad marker 31, a 2 nd pad marker 32, and a 3 rd pad marker 33. The 1 st pad marking 31 may be disposed inward of the 2 nd pad marking 32 and the 3 rd pad marking 33 in the width direction W. The 3 rd pad marking part 33 may be disposed on the inner side in the front-rear direction L than the 2 nd pad marking part 32.

At least a part of the pad marking portion 30 is disposed inward of the front-rear joint portion 62 in the front-rear direction L. The pad marker 30 is not disposed outside the front-rear joint 62 in the front-rear direction L, but is disposed inside the front-rear joint 62 in the front-rear direction L. In the embodiment, at least a part of the pad marker portion 30 is disposed forward of the front end edge 62F of the front-rear joint portion 62. The pad marking portion 30 may be disposed forward of the front end edge 62F, instead of being disposed rearward of the front end edge 62F of the front and rear joining portions 62. At least a part of the pad markers 30 may be disposed in the rear waistline region S2. The pad markers 30 may be disposed in the rear waistline region S2 instead of the crotch region S3. At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening tape 90. The front end edge 30F of the pad marker 30 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90. At least some of the pad marking portion 30 (a) may be disposed rearward of the center of the fastening tape 90 in the front-rear direction L, (b) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (c) may be disposed rearward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (d) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 961F of the 1 st engaging portion 961, and (e) may be disposed rearward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engaging portion 961. The front end edge 30F of the pad marking portion 30 may be (a) disposed rearward of the center of the fastening band 90 in the front-rear direction L, (b) disposed rearward of the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (c) disposed rearward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (d) disposed rearward of the front end edge 961F of the 1 st engaging portion 961, and (e) disposed rearward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engaging portion 961.

At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed forward of the rear end edge 90R of the fastening tape 90. The pad marker 30 may be disposed not behind the rear end edge 90R of the fastening tape 90 but in front of the rear end edge 90R. At least some of the pad marker 30 (a) may be disposed forward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engaging portion 961, (b) may be disposed forward of the front end edge 961F of the 1 st engaging portion 961, (c) may be disposed forward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, and (d) may be disposed forward of the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engaging portion 962. The rear end edge 30R of the pad marker 30 may be disposed (a) at a position forward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engagement portion 961, (b) at a position forward of the front end edge 961F of the 1 st engagement portion 961, (c) at a position forward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engagement portion 962, and (d) at a position forward of the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engagement portion 962. At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed forward of the front end edge 17F of the waist elastic member 17. The rear end edge 30R of the pad marker 30 may be disposed forward of the front end edge 17F of the waist elastic member 17. The pad marking portion 30 may be disposed entirely in a region extending in the width direction from the surface fastener 90 (the flap extending outward in the width direction from the absorbent main body 11).

In the front-rear direction L, the front end edge 30F of the pad mark 30 may be located forward of the center of the fastening tape 90 in the front-rear direction L, and the rear end edge 30R of the pad mark 30 may be located rearward of the center of the fastening tape 90 in the front-rear direction L. In the front-rear direction L, the front end edge 30F of the pad marker 30 may be located forward of the center in the front-rear direction L of the rearmost rear end edge of the engagement portion 96 (in the embodiment, the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engagement portion 961) and the foremost front end edge of the engagement portion 96 (in the embodiment, the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engagement portion 962) and the rear end edge 30R of the pad marker 30 may be located rearward of the center.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, at least a part of the pad marker 30 is disposed outside the rising edge 61WE in the width direction W. The inner edge 30I of the pad marker 30 may be disposed outward in the width direction W from the rising edge 61 WE. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4, the pad marker 30 may be disposed so as to straddle the edge 61 WE. Therefore, the inner edge 30I of the pad marking portion 30 may be disposed inward of the upright end edge 61WE in the width direction W, and the outer edge 30O of the pad marking portion 30 may be disposed outward of the upright end edge 61WE in the width direction W.

At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed inward of the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W. The outer edge 30O of the pad marker 30 may be disposed inward of the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W. As shown in fig. 4, at least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed at a position overlapping the absorbent core 50 in the thickness direction T at a position inward of the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W. The outer edge 30O (a) of the pad marker 30 may be disposed inward in the width direction W from the outer edge of the top sheet 41a, and (b) may be disposed inward in the width direction W from the outer edge of the width joint 63.

The length from the front and rear joining portions 62 to the pad marker 30 may be shorter than the maximum length of the pad marker 30 in the front-rear direction L. As shown in fig. 1 and the like, in the rear waistline region S2, the length from the front and rear joint portions 62 to the pad marking portion 30 is the length from the front end edge 62F of the front and rear joint portions 62 to the rear end edge 30R of the pad marking portion 30 in the direction toward the inner side in the front-rear direction L. In the present embodiment, since the pad marking portion 30 extends across the front end edge 62F of the front-rear joint portion 62, the length from the front-rear joint portion 62 to the pad marking portion 30 is 0. The length from the front and rear joining portions 62 to the pad marker 30 may be 80mm or less, for example.

As shown in fig. 4, the pad marking portion 30 may be disposed on the non-skin surface side T2 of the sheet constituting the leakage preventing rib port 60. In the present embodiment, the sheet is the side sheet 41b. The sheet has light transmittance. The sheet may be made of, for example, a nonwoven fabric, and thus has light-transmitting properties. The pad marker 30 is provided on the non-skin surface of the top sheet 41 a. The pad marker 30 may be provided on the skin surface of the top sheet 41a or may be provided on the non-skin surface of the side sheet 41b. The pad marker 30 may be provided on the skin surface side T1 of the absorbent core 50.

The absorbent article 10 may include a contracting member having contractibility. In the present embodiment, the contracting members are the leg hole elastic members 16, the waist elastic member 17, and the leakage preventing elastic member 65. These elastic members are fixed in an extended state to structural members constituting the absorbent article 10, and therefore have contractibility. The pad marker 30 may be disposed in a region that does not overlap with the contracting member in the thickness direction T.

(4) Body marker

Next, the body marker 20 will be described. The absorbent article 10 has a body marker 20 indicating the arrangement position of a part of the wearer's body. The body marker 20 is used to mount the absorbent article 10 in place on the wearer. The body marker 20 can be visually recognized from the skin surface side T1 of the absorbent article 10. The body marker 20 may be visually recognized. The body mark part 20 can be provided by printing on the absorbent article 10 using oil-based ink, for example. The body labeling portion 20 may have a front end edge 20F positioned farthest forward in the front-rear direction L and a rear end edge 20R positioned farthest rearward in the front-rear direction L (see B in fig. 5). The body marker 20 may have an inner side edge 20I located innermost in the width direction W and an outer side edge 20O located outermost in the width direction W (see B in fig. 5). The maximum length of the body marker portion 20 in the front-rear direction L (i.e., the length in the front-rear direction L from the front end edge 20F to the rear end edge 20R) may be, for example, 20mm or more and 70mm or less. The maximum width of the body marker 20 in the width direction W (i.e., the length in the width direction W from the inner edge 20I to the outer edge 20O) may be, for example, 20mm or more and 70mm or less.

At least a part of the body marker 20 indicates the arrangement position of the wearer's bones, and is arranged outside the central region CR of the absorbent article 10 in the width direction W. Body markers 20 may represent the configured position of the iliac crest of the wearer. In the present embodiment, a description will be given taking an example in which the body marker 20 indicates the arrangement position of the iliac crest of the wearer as the bone of the wearer. The body marker 20 may be constituted by a pair of body marker 20 disposed on both outer sides of the central region CR in the width direction W. Further, the central region CR is any one of (a) a region between the leg cuffs 60 extending from one inner side edge 60E to the other inner side edge 60E of the leg cuffs 60 in an extended state in which no gathers are formed in the absorbent article 10 and (b) a region between the absorbent cores 50 extending from the innermost one of the outer side edges 50IE to the other outer side edge 50IE of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W (i.e., a region of the absorbent core 50 having the shortest width). The central region CR may be a region in which the length in the width direction W is narrow in the region between the rib openings 60 and the region between the absorbent cores 50.

As shown in fig. 3, the body marker 20 may have a 1 st body marker 21 indicating a range of the arrangement position of the wearer's bones in the front-rear direction L. Thus, the body marker 20 can indicate the range of the arrangement position of the wearer's bones in the front-back direction L. The 1 st body marker 21 may be configured by, for example, a 1 st portion 211 extending inward in the width direction W as it goes outward in the front-rear direction L and a 2 nd portion 212 extending outward in the width direction W as it goes outward in the front-rear direction L from the 1 st portion 211. The range of the arrangement position of the wearer's bones in the front-rear direction L can be represented by the length from the front end edge of the 1 st portion 211 to the rear end edge of the 2 nd portion. The body marker 20 may have a 2 nd body marker 22 in which an installation site where the absorbent article 10 is installed and an arrangement position of a wearer's skeleton are graphically represented. Thus, the body marker 20 can graphically represent the mounting site and the arrangement position of the wearer's bones. The body marker 20 may have a 3 rd body marker 23 which indicates a wearer's bone to be arranged at the arrangement position indicated by the body marker 20 by characters. In this way, the body marker 20 can indicate the wearer's bones to be arranged by characters. In the embodiment, the 3 rd body marker 23 is composed of characters of "lumbar bone".

At least a part of the body marker 20 may be disposed in the rear waistline region S2. The body marker 20 may be disposed in the rear waistline region S2 instead of the crotch region S3. The body marker 20 may be disposed in the rear waistline region S2. As shown in fig. 5B, the front end edge 20F of the body marker 20 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90. Thus, when the pad marker 30 is disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90, the body marker 20 can be easily viewed when the attachment assistant attaches to the absorbent article 10 having the pad marker 30. The entire body marker 20 may be disposed in a region extending in the width direction from the fastening tape 90 (the flap extending outward in the width direction from the absorbent main body 11).

As shown in fig. 3, the body marker 20 and the pad marker 30 may be constructed of different designs from each other. The body marking portion 20 is spaced from the pad marking portion 30 in the front-rear direction L. The length ML from the body marker 20 to the pad marker 30 may be longer than half the maximum length in the front-rear direction L of the body marker 20. This makes it possible to easily identify the body marker 20 and the pad marker 30. In addition, the length ML may be longer than the maximum length of the body marker portion 20 in the front-rear direction L. The length ML may be, for example, 20mm or more apart. The body marker 20 may be located inward of the pad marker 30 in the front-rear direction L. This allows the body marker 20 to be visually recognized even after the absorbent pad 100 is attached. Further, the length ML may be 3 times or less the maximum length of the body marker 20 in the front-rear direction L. This makes it possible to make the body marker 20 easily visible when the attachment assistant is attached to the absorbent article 10 to which the pad marker 30 is attached.

At least a part of the body marker portion 20 may overlap with the pad marker portion 30 in the front-rear direction L. At least a part of the pad marking part 30 may overlap with the body marking part 20 in the front-rear direction L. In the width direction W, the inner edge 20I of the body marker 20 may be positioned inward of the outer edge 30O of the pad marker 30 in the width direction W, and the outer edge 20O of the body marker 20 may be positioned outward of the inner edge 30I of the pad marker 30 in the width direction W. The inner edge 30I of the pad marker 30 may be located inward of the outer edge 30O of the body marker 20 in the width direction W, and the outer edge 30O of the pad marker 30 may be located outward of the inner edge 20I of the body marker 20 in the width direction W. In the present embodiment, the inner edge 20I of the body marker 20 is located inward of the inner edge 30I of the pad marker 30 in the width direction W. In addition, the 3 rd body marker 23 and the 3 rd pad marker 33, which are formed of characters, may overlap in the front-rear direction L. Since the characters are arranged along the front-rear direction L, the attachment assistant can easily grasp the characters only by sliding the line of sight in the front-rear direction L, and the burden on the attachment assistant can be reduced.

(5) Mounting method

An example of a method of attaching the absorbent article 10 will be described. First, the installation assistant unfolds the absorbent article 10 to visually recognize the pad marking 30. The installation assistant aligns the position of the rear end portion 100R of the absorbent pad 100 with reference to the pad mark 30. Here, when the position of the rear end portion 100R of the absorbent pad 100 is aligned with the arrangement position indicated by the pad mark 30, the attachment assistant visually recognizes not only the pad mark 30 but also the width center WC of the absorbent pad 100 in order to align the position of the center in the width direction W with the width center WC of the absorbent article 10. Thus, when the attachment assistant adjusts the attachment position of the absorbent pad while visually recognizing the pad mark 30 and the width center WC, the standing part 61 is easily brought into the visual field, and the attachment assistant can be guided to put the absorbent pad into the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing part 61. As shown in fig. 5, the attachment assistant puts the rear end portion 100R of the absorbent pad 100 toward the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing portion 61, thereby attaching the absorbent pad 100 to the absorbent article 10.

Next, the installation assistant installs the absorbent article 10 to the wearer. The unfolded absorbent article 10 is disposed on the back side of the wearer lying on his side. The attachment assistant adjusts the position of the absorbent article 10 with reference to the body mark portion 20. Specifically, the attachment assistant fits the wearer's bones to the body marker 20. In the embodiment, the absorbent article 10 is moved to adjust the position of the absorbent article 10 so that the body marker 20 and the iliac crest IC overlap in the width direction W. In the case where the skin of the wearer is protruded by the iliac crest IC, the installation assistant can also visually recognize the position of the iliac crest IC. The installation assistant can also accurately identify the position of the iliac crest IC by touching the position of the waist of the wearer. Further, the installation assistant can also adjust the position of the absorbent pad 100 within the range indicated by the pad mark 30. The installation assistant can also adjust the position of the absorbent pad 100, for example, so as to cover the cleft of the wearer's buttocks.

Next, as shown in fig. 7, the body of the wearer is placed on the absorbent article 10, and the wearer lies on the absorbent article 10 in a supine position. Next, the front side of the absorbent pad 100 is lifted so that the front side of the absorbent pad 100 covers the crotch of the wearer, and is fitted to the crotch of the wearer. Thereafter, the front side of the absorbent article 10 is lifted and attached to the front side of the absorbent article 10 so as to cover the crotch and abdomen of the wearer. Thereby, as shown in a of fig. 5, the front waistline region S1 of the absorbent article 10 covers the abdomen of the wearer.

Next, the fastening tape 90 is fixed to the front waistline region S1. As shown in fig. 5B, the wearer engages the 2 nd engaging portion 962 with the front waist region S1. The wearer may engage the 2 nd engaging portion 962 with the front waist region S1 such that the 2 nd projecting portion 922 extends in the width direction W, or may engage the 2 nd engaging portion 962 with the front waist region S1 such that the 2 nd projecting portion 922 is inclined toward the waist portion of the wearer as shown in B of fig. 5 (so-called oblique fixation). Thereafter, as shown in fig. 5C, the wearer engages the 1 st engaging portion 961 with the front waistline region S1. The wearer may engage the 1 st protruding portion 921 with the front waistline region S1 so that the 1 st protruding portion 921 extends in the width direction W, or may engage the 1 st protruding portion 921 with the front waistline region S1 so that the 1 st protruding portion 921 is inclined toward the crotch of the wearer as shown in fig. 5C (so-called oblique fixation). The wearer may engage the 1 st protruding portion 921 with the front waistline region S1 so that the hook and loop fastener 90 is hooked on the iliac crest IC. In this way, the absorbent article 10 can be mounted to a wearer.

As described above, in the present embodiment, at least a part of the pad marking portion 30 is disposed outside the rising edge 61WE of the rising portion 61 in the width direction W and inside the front-rear direction L of the front-rear joining portion 62. When the position of the end of the absorbent pad 100 is aligned with the arrangement position indicated by the pad mark 30, the attachment assistant visually recognizes not only the pad mark 30 but also the width center WC of the absorbent pad 100 so that the position of the center in the width direction W is aligned with the width center WC of the absorbent article 10. Therefore, in the absorbent article 10, at least part of the pad marking portion 30 is disposed at a position outside in the width direction W from the rising edge 61WE and inside in the front-rear direction L from the front-rear joining portion 62, and therefore, when the attachment assistant adjusts the attachment position of the absorbent pad 100 while visually recognizing the pad marking portion 30 and the width center WC, the rising portion 61 is easily brought into the field of view. Thus, the attachment assistant can visually recognize the standing part 61, easily recognize the leakage preventing rib 60, and guide the attachment assistant to put the absorbent pad 100 into the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing part 61.

In addition, the length from the front and rear joining portions 62 to the pad marking portion 30 may be shorter than the maximum length of the pad marking portion 30 in the front and rear direction L. Thus, since the pad marker 30 is disposed in the vicinity of the front-rear joint portion 62, the corner of the bag (space) formed by the rising edge 61LE of the rising portion 61 in the front-rear direction L (i.e., the front edge 62F of the front-rear joint portion 62) and the rising edge 61WE of the rising portion 61 in the width direction W is easily visible. Since the outer edge of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 (i.e., the corner portion 100C) easily enters the vicinity of the corner portion of the pouch, the attachment assistant can be guided to place the absorbent pad 100 on the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing portion 61 by making the attachment assistant recognize the corner portion of the pouch. Further, since the corner portion of the bag is a portion where the rising portion 61 starts rising, the rising height of the rising portion 61 around the corner portion of the bag becomes low. By placing the absorbent pad 100 near the corner of the bag, the absorbent pad 100 is not easily displaced in the width direction W, but in the front-rear direction L. As a result, the absorption performance of the absorbent pad 100 can be sufficiently exhibited, and deterioration in the wearing feeling due to displacement of the absorbent pad 100 can be suppressed.

At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening tape 90. The fastening tape 90 is fixed to the front waistline region S1, and the region on the rear side of the front end edge 90F of the fastening tape 90 is in close contact with the body of the wearer, so that the absorbent pad 100 is less likely to shift from an ideal position. As a result, the absorption performance of the absorbent pad 100 can be sufficiently exhibited, and deterioration in the wearing feeling due to displacement of the absorbent pad 100 can be suppressed.

At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed forward of the rear end edge 90R of the fastening tape 90. Thus, in a state where the absorbent pad 100 is positioned to be engaged with the pad marking unit 30, the fastening tape 90 is fixed to the front waistline region S1, and the region between the front end edge 90F and the rear end edge 90R of the fastening tape 90 is brought into close contact with the body of the wearer, so that the position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 is less likely to be displaced from the pad marking unit 30.

At least a part of the pad marker 30 may be disposed at a position inside the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W and overlapping the absorbent core 50 in the thickness direction T. Generally, the end of the absorbent pad 100 is disposed inward in the width direction W from the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 so that even if excrement leaks from the absorbent pad 100 to the absorbent core 50, the leaked excrement can be absorbed. At least part of the pad marker 30 is disposed inward in the width direction W from the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50, so that the attachment assistant can easily attach the absorbent pad 100 to the absorbent article 10 accurately so that the end of the absorbent pad 100 overlaps the absorbent core 50. In addition, since the absorbent core 50 is generally thicker than other structural members constituting the absorbent article 10, the region where the absorbent core 50 is disposed has lower light permeability than other regions. Therefore, when the pad marker 30 is disposed at the position closer to the skin surface side T1 than the absorbent core 50, at least a part of the visibility of the pad marker 30 disposed at the position closer to the inner side than the outer edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 is less likely to be affected by the placement surface such as a bed on which the absorbent article 10 is placed.

The pad marking portion 30 may be disposed on a non-skin surface side of the sheet constituting the leakage preventing rib port 60. Thus, the pad marker 30 does not come into direct contact with the skin of the wearer, and therefore, the pad marker 30 can suppress the influence on the skin of the wearer (for example, in the case where the pad marker 30 is provided by printing with ink, the ink moves to the skin, or the ink damages the skin).

In addition, the pad marker 30 may be disposed so as to straddle the end edge 91 WE. In the region on the inner side in the width direction W than the rising edge 91WE, the pad mark portion 30 is not clearly visible due to the rising portion 61, while in the region on the outer side in the width direction W than the rising edge 91WE, the side sheet 41b constituting the anti-leakage rib 60 is fixed, so even if the pad mark portion 30 is disposed on the non-skin surface side T2 with respect to the side sheet 41b, the pad mark portion 30 is more easily clearly visible than the region on the inner side. Therefore, the installation assistant wants to clearly view the pad marker 30 in the inner region and easily turn up the rising portion 61. By turning up the guide standing part 61, the attachment assistant can be guided to put the absorbent pad 100 on the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing part 61.

The pad marker 30 may be disposed in a region that does not overlap with the shrinkage member in the thickness direction T. This makes it difficult for the region where the pad marker 30 is disposed to contract due to contraction of the contraction member, and thus, deterioration in visibility of the pad marker 30 can be suppressed.

The pad mark 30 may indicate a range of the arrangement position of the end of the absorbent pad 100 in the front-rear direction L. Thus, the attachment assistant can conceivably adjust the arrangement of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 within the range indicated by the pad mark portion 30. The mental burden on the installation assistant who needs to dispose the end of the absorbent pad 100 at a precise position for proper installation can be reduced. In addition, as compared with the case where the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 is arranged at a precise position, the time for adjusting the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 can be reduced, and thus the mounting time can be easily shortened.

In addition, the size of the absorbent pad 100 sometimes differs depending on the manufacturer that manufactures the absorbent pad 100. Since the attachment assistant can freely adjust the arrangement of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 within the range indicated by the pad marker 30, the absorbent pad 100 attached to the absorbent article 10 is not easily restricted, and the absorbent pad 100 can be arranged at a more appropriate position. In addition, even when a plurality of attachment assistants attach the absorbent article 10 to the wearer, each attachment assistant can freely adjust the arrangement of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 within the range indicated by the pad marking 30, as compared with the case where the pad marking 30 indicates the arrangement position of the end portion of the absorbent pad 100 at a precise position. Thus, each of the plurality of attachment assistants can appropriately attach the absorbent pad 100 to the absorbent article 10.

In addition, the pad mark 30 may graphically indicate that the pad mark 30 is a mark for mounting the absorbent pad 100. Thereby, the installation assistant easily understands that the pad marking part 30 is used for installing the absorbent pad 100. It is difficult for other parts of the body of the wearer to fit the pad marker 30, and the absorbent pad 100 can be appropriately attached to the absorbent article 10.

The pad marking unit 30 may indicate, with letters, that the pad marking unit 30 is a mark for attaching the absorbent pad 100. Accordingly, the installation assistant who visually recognizes the characters can recognize that the absorbent pad 100 should be arranged by using the pad marking part 30, and thus it is possible to reduce the possibility that the installation assistant erroneously arranges other parts of the body of the wearer with reference to the pad marking part 30.

In addition, the pad marking part 30 and the body marking part 20 may be separated in the front-rear direction L. This makes it easy for the wearer to recognize that the pad marking part 30 is different from the body marking part 20, and it is possible to reduce the possibility that the end of the absorbent pad 100 is erroneously aligned with the body marking part 20.

In addition, at least a part of the pad marking part 30 may overlap with the body marking part 20 in the front-rear direction L. Thus, when the body marker 20 is found, the line of sight is moved in the front-rear direction L to find the pad marker 30, so that the attachment assistant can easily find the pad marker 30. Therefore, it is found that the attachment assistant of the pad mark 30 aligns the end of the absorbent pad 100 with the pad mark 30 as a reference, so that the leakage preventing rib 60 is easily recognized, and the attachment assistant can be guided to put the absorbent pad 100 into the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing part 61.

The pad marking part 30 and the body marking part 20 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90. Thus, even when the body marker 20 is found, the pad marker 30 is easily visible, and the attachment assistant can easily find the pad marker 30. Therefore, it is found that the attachment assistant of the pad mark 30 aligns the end of the absorbent pad 100 with the pad mark 30 as a reference, so that the leakage preventing rib 60 is easily recognized, and the attachment assistant can be guided to put the absorbent pad 100 into the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing part 61.

(6) Other embodiments

As described above, the present invention has been described in detail using the above embodiments, but it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in the present specification. The present invention can be implemented in modified and altered forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the claims. Therefore, the description of the present specification is for illustrative purposes and does not have any limiting meaning on the present invention.

In the above-described embodiment, the body marker 20 indicates the arrangement position of the iliac crest of the wearer as the skeleton of the wearer, but is not limited thereto. The body marker 20 may indicate the position of the wearer's bone, such as the sacrum, ilium, lumbar vertebrae (e.g., 3 rd lumbar vertebra, 4 th lumbar vertebra, 5 th lumbar vertebra, etc.), pubic bone, coccyx, greater trochanter, etc.

In addition, the 1 st body marker 21 may indicate the range of the arrangement position of the wearer's bones in the front-back direction L by arrows, as in the 1 st pad marker 31. The 1 st pad marking unit 31 may be configured by a 1 st portion extending inward in the width direction W as going outward in the front-rear direction L and a 2 nd portion extending outward in the width direction W as going outward in the front-rear direction L from the 1 st portion 211, similarly to the 1 st body marking unit 21.

In the above-described embodiment, the absorbent article 10 may have markers other than the body marker 20 and the pad marker 30. For example, the absorbent article 10 may have a marking portion that guides the fixing position of the fastening tape 90. This also guides the inclination fixation of the surface fastener 90.

In the above embodiment, the absorbent article 10 has the body marker 20, but is not limited thereto. The absorbent article 10 may not have a body marker 20. The absorbent article 10 may be attached to the wearer without using the body marker 20.
