Disclosure of Invention

However, even if the weight of the wearer is the same, the positions of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the absorbent article sometimes shift from the ideal positions due to the difference in the build (e.g., the degree of fatness) of each wearer. This may cause the absorbent article to be improperly attached, leading to deterioration in wearing comfort and leakage of excrement.

In addition, the body weight of the wearer is likely to vary depending on daily lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise, and the progress of diseases. Therefore, there is a possibility that the absorbent article cannot be properly attached by fitting the positions of the buttocks of the wearer to the mark portions different from the actual body weight of the wearer.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an absorbent article having a marker indicating a position of arrangement of a part of a wearer's body, in which an attachment assistant can appropriately attach the absorbent article to the wearer.

An absorbent article according to one aspect is an absorbent article including: a front-rear direction and a width direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction; and a mark section indicating a position where a part of the body of the wearer is arranged. At least a part of the mark portion indicates a position of arrangement of a bone of the wearer and is arranged outside a central region of the absorbent article in the width direction.

Detailed Description

(1) Brief description of the embodiments

An absorbent article according to one aspect is an absorbent article including: a front-rear direction and a width direction orthogonal to the front-rear direction; and a mark section indicating a position where a part of the body of the wearer is arranged. At least a part of the mark portion indicates a position where a bone of the wearer is arranged, and is arranged at a position further outside in the width direction than a central region of the absorbent article in the width direction.

Since the positions of the wearer's bones are less susceptible to the influence of the physical constitution of the wearer and the influence of the change in body weight than the hips of the wearer, the absorbent article can be appropriately attached to each wearer by fitting the positions of the wearer's bones to the markers indicating the arrangement positions of the wearer's bones even if the wearer has a different body type. This makes it difficult for the positions of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the absorbent article to deviate from the ideal positions, and thus deterioration of the wearing feeling and leakage of excrement can be suppressed. Further, since the mark portion is disposed at the outer side in the width direction than the central region, the mark portion is less likely to be blocked by the body of the wearer than in the case of being disposed at the central region. This makes it easy for the attachment assistant to visually recognize the mark portion, and therefore, the absorbent article can be easily attached with reference to the mark portion.

In a preferred aspect, the marker may indicate a position at which the iliac crest of the wearer is arranged. When a plurality of installation assistants in a hospital, a nursing facility, or the like attach an absorbent article to a wearer (particularly, an elderly person), there are cases where the hip recognition differs for each installation assistant. Therefore, even if a part of the attachment assistant fits the position of the buttocks of the wearer to the mark section indicating the arrangement position of the buttocks, there is a possibility that the absorbent article cannot be attached properly. Here, the iliac crest is usually located at a portion protruding near the waist of the wearer, and therefore the installation assistant can not only easily visually recognize the position of the iliac crest, but also accurately recognize the position of the iliac crest by touching the position of the waist of the wearer. Therefore, each attachment assistant can accurately recognize the position of the iliac crest, and can align the position of the iliac crest of the wearer with the marker, thereby enabling the absorbent article to be attached appropriately.

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 surface fastener and forward of a rear end edge of the surface fastener. Thus, the fastening tape is fixed to the front waistline region in a state where the positions of the bones of the wearer are aligned with the marker, and the region between the front end edge and the rear end edge of the fastening tape is in close contact with the body of the wearer, so that the positions of the bones of the wearer are less likely to be displaced from the marker. Therefore, the absorbent article can be maintained in a properly attached state, and therefore deterioration of the wearing sensation and/or leakage of excrement can be continuously suppressed.

According to a preferred aspect, the fastening tape may include: a 1 st engaging portion that engages with the front waistline region; and a 2 nd engaging portion that engages with the front waistline region at a position that is inside in the front-rear direction with respect to the 1 st engaging portion. At least a part of the mark portion may be disposed forward of a rear end edge of the 1 st engaging portion and rearward of a rear end edge of the 2 nd engaging portion. Thus, the 1 st engagement portion and the 2 nd engagement portion are engaged so as to sandwich at least a part of the mark portion in the front-rear direction, and therefore the position of the wearer's bone is less likely to be displaced from the mark portion. Thus, the state in which the absorbent article is properly attached can be maintained.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark portion may be a pair of mark portions disposed on both outer sides of the central region in the width direction. The absorbent article may have: 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 pair of rib pockets extending in the front-rear direction at least in the lower crotch region, and disposed on both sides with a width center that is a center in the width direction of the absorbent article interposed therebetween. The pair of rib outlets may include: a rising portion capable of rising 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. At least a part of each of the pair of mark portions may be disposed outside an inner edge of the front-rear joint portion on the width center side in the width direction. The pair of markers allows the markers to be visually recognized from either the left or right side of the body of the wearer. Further, the region on the inner side in the width direction than the inner edge of the front and rear joint portions is a region for receiving excrement, and is a region on which the body of the wearer is placed when the absorbent article is attached. Therefore, the marking portion is disposed at a position further outward in the width direction than a region on which the body of the wearer is placed (i.e., a region further inward than the inner edge of the front and rear joint portions), and the marking portion is less likely to be hidden by the body of the wearer. Thus, the attachment assistant can easily visually recognize the mark portion, and thus the absorbent article can be easily attached with reference to the mark portion.

According to a preferred aspect, at least a part of each of the pair of mark portions may be disposed further to the outside in the width direction than a rising edge in the width direction of the rising portion. Since the rising portion blocks the excrement by rising, the region on the inner side in the width direction than the rising end edge is a region on which the body of the wearer is easily placed when the absorbent article is attached. Therefore, the mark portion is disposed at a position further outward in the width direction than a region where the body of the wearer is easily placed (i.e., a region further inward in the width direction than the rising edge), and the mark portion is less likely to be hidden by the body of the wearer. The installation assistant can more easily visually recognize the mark part.

According to a preferred aspect, the absorbent article may have one or more sheets disposed on the skin surface side of the marking portion. 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 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 marking portion may indicate the range of the arrangement position of the wearer's bones in the front-back direction. Thus, the attachment assistant can conceivably adjust the arrangement of the wearer's bones within the range indicated by the mark portion. The mental burden on an installation assistant who needs to arrange the skeleton of the wearer at a precise position for proper installation can be reduced. In addition, the time for adjusting the arrangement position of the wearer's bones can be reduced as compared with the case where the wearer's bones are arranged at precise positions, and therefore, the mounting time can be easily shortened.

In addition, even when a plurality of attachment assistants attach the absorbent article to the wearer, each attachment assistant can easily place the wearer's bones within the range indicated by the marker, as compared with the case where the marker indicates the placement position of the bones at a precise position. Thus, each of the plurality of attachment assistants can appropriately attach the absorbent article.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark portion may graphically indicate an attachment position where the absorbent article is attached and an arrangement position of the wearer's skeleton. Thus, the attachment assistant can clearly identify the attachment site and the arrangement position of the wearer's skeleton by using the figure, and therefore, the meaning of the mark portion can be easily understood, and the absorbent article can be easily attached with reference to the mark portion.

According to a preferred aspect, the mark portion may indicate, by characters, a bone of the wearer to be arranged at the arrangement position indicated by the mark portion. Thus, the attachment assistant viewing the characters can recognize that the wearer's skeleton should be arranged by the mark portion, and thus the possibility that the attachment assistant erroneously arranges other parts of the wearer's body can be reduced.

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 mark is different from the other marks, and the possibility that the wearer's bone is erroneously aligned with the other marks 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 can easily attach the absorbent article with reference to the mark portion.

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. The marking portion and the other marking portion may be disposed rearward of a front end edge of the hook and loop fastener. Thus, when another marker is found, the marker can easily enter the field of view, and the installation assistant can easily find the marker. Therefore, the attachment assistant can easily attach the absorbent article with reference to the mark portion.

In the following embodiments, "marker" described in the claims corresponds to a body marker, and "other marker" described in the claims corresponds to a pad 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. Therefore, specific dimensions and the like should be determined with reference to the following description. In addition, the drawings may include portions having different dimensional relationships and ratios from each other. In comparison of the length and positional relationship of the present invention, an absorbent article in an extended state in which the absorbent article is extended to a state in which no gathers are formed by the stretchable member is used unless otherwise mentioned. Fig. 4 shows a state in which a standing portion 61 described later stands at a line F4-F4 shown in fig. 3.

The absorbent article of the present embodiment is a disposable diaper for adults. The absorbent article is preferably of a type that is attached to a wearer (particularly an elderly person) such as a care recipient by an attachment assistant such as a care recipient.

The width direction W is orthogonal to the front-rear direction L. The absorbent article 10 has a thickness direction T orthogonal to the front-back direction L and the width direction W. In the present specification, the "skin surface side" corresponds to a side facing the skin of a wearer in use. The "non-skin-side" corresponds to a side facing the opposite side of the skin of the wearer in use. The thickness direction T extends toward the skin surface side T1 and the non-skin surface side T2.

The absorbent article 10 has a front waistline region S1, a rear waistline region S2, and a crotch region S3. The front waistline region S1 faces the body front side of the wearer in use. The rear waist region S2 faces the rear side of the wearer' S body in use. The crotch region S3 is disposed between the front waistline region S1 and the rear waistline region S2. The crotch region S3 is disposed in the crotch of the wearer during use. The crotch region S3 may be a region provided with leg openings 15, the boundary between the front waistline region S1 and the crotch region S3 may be defined by the front end edges of the leg openings 15, and the boundary between the rear waistline region S2 and the crotch region S3 may be defined by the rear end edges of the leg openings 15.

The absorbent article 10 may have an absorbent core 50 disposed at least in the crotch region S3. The absorbent core 50 may extend from the crotch region S3 to the front waistline region S1 and the back waistline region S2. The absorbent core 50 may be, for example, a laminate of comminuted pulp or superabsorbent polymer (SAP) or an absorbent material comprising a mixture of these. Further, the outer side edge 50E of the absorbent core 50 has an innermost outer side edge 50IE in the width direction W. The absorbent article 10 may have an absorbent body comprising an absorbent core 50 and a core wrap, not shown. The core wrap is disposed so as to cover the absorbent core 50, and may be, for example, a tissue paper or a nonwoven fabric sheet.

The absorbent article 10 may have a skin-facing sheet 41 positioned on the skin-facing side T1 of the absorbent core 50 and a non-skin-facing sheet 42 positioned on the non-skin-facing side T2 of the absorbent core 50. The skin sheet 41 may have a top sheet 41a and side sheets 41b. The top sheet 41a may have liquid permeability and be disposed so as to cover at least the center of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W. The side sheet 41b may be made of a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric, and may be disposed so as to cover both side portions of the top sheet 41a in the width direction W at a position outside the center of the absorbent core 50 in the width direction W. The non-skin-facing sheet 42 may have liquid impermeability and may be provided on the non-skin-facing side of the absorbent core 50. The non-skin-facing sheet 42 may have a liquid-impermeable back film 42a and a back nonwoven fabric 42b disposed on the non-skin-facing side of the back film 42 a.

The absorbent article 10 may have a pair of cuffs 60. The pair of rib guards 60 extend in the front-rear direction L at least in the crotch region S3. The pair of rib openings 60 are disposed on both sides with the width center WC, which is the center of the absorbent article 10 in the width direction W. The pair of leakage preventing rib openings 60 may have a rising portion 61, a front and rear joint portion 62, a width joint portion 63, and a leakage preventing elastic member 65.

The rising portion 61 can rise toward the skin surface side T1 by contraction in the front-rear direction L. The front-rear joint portion 62 is positioned further outward in the front-rear direction L than the rising portion 61, and is joined so as not to rise toward the skin surface side T1. The front-rear joint sections 62 have inner edges 62E on the width center WC side and inner end edges on the crotch side (i.e., front end edges 62F of the front-rear joint sections 62 in the rear waist region S2). The width joining portion 63 is located on the outer side in the width direction W than the rising portion 61, and is joined so as not to rise toward the skin surface side T1. The leakage-preventing elastic member 65 is disposed on the side sheet 41b in a state of being elongated in the front-rear direction L. The leakage preventing elastic member 65 may be sandwiched and fixed by the side sheet 41b. The rising portion 61 can be contracted and raised in the front-rear direction L by contraction of the leakage-preventing elastic member 65. As shown in fig. 4, the rising portion 61 rises from a rising edge 61WE in the width direction W. The rising edge 61WE is formed by the inner edge of the width joining portion 63 in the width direction W. The rising portion 61 rises from a rising edge 61LE in the front-rear direction L. The rising edge 61LE is formed by the inner end edges of the front and rear joining portions 62 located on the crotch portion side in the front-rear direction L.

The absorbent article 10 may have leg hole elastic members 16 arranged in the leg hole openings 15 and having stretchability in the front-rear direction L. The leg hole elastic members 16 may extend in the front-rear direction L and be disposed along the leg hole openings 15. Thereby, the leg hole openings 15 are attached to the leg holes of the wearer. As shown in fig. 3, the absorbent article 10 may have a waist elastic member 17 having stretchability in the width direction W in the rear waistline region S2. The waist elastic member 17 may extend in the width direction W across the center of the absorbent article 10 in the width direction W.

The absorbent article 10 has an absorbent main body 11 and a fastening tape 90. The absorbent main body 11 is composed of at least an absorbent core 50, a skin-facing sheet 41, and a non-skin-facing sheet 42. The fastening tape 90 is disposed in the rear waistline region S2 and fixed to the front waistline region S1. The fastening tapes 90 are provided on both outer sides in the width direction W of the rear waistline region S2.

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) 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 body of the wearer. 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. For example, in the L × a × b color system, the body marker 20 having a color difference Δ E of 8 or more with respect to the periphery adjacent to the body marker 20 can 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 marker 20 may be provided using a colored hot melt adhesive.

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. The maximum length and/or the maximum width of the body marker 20 is 20mm or more, so that the body marker 20 can be easily and clearly confirmed by visual observation. The maximum length and/or the maximum width of the body marker 20 is 70mm or less, so that the size of the body marker 20 does not increase more than necessary with respect to the arrangement position of the part of the wearer's body, and therefore the attachment assistant can easily grasp the range of the arrangement position of the part of the wearer's body.

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 skeleton 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 212. The length of the 1 st body marker 21 in the front-rear direction L may be, for example, 20mm or more and 70mm or less.

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 placement of the attachment site and the wearer's bones. The 2 nd body marker 22 may be formed of a figure in which a dotted line or a dashed line indicating the arrangement position of the wearer's bones is drawn on, for example, the back-side buttocks and the peripheries of the buttocks (for example, the waist and the thighs) which are the attachment sites.

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". In the case where the body marker 20 indicates the arrangement position of the iliac crest of the wearer, the 3 rd body marker 23 may be composed of characters of a well-known "lumbar bone" because the iliac crest is generally known to be low. The characters constituting the 3 rd body marker portion 23 may be expressed in japanese, english, or other languages (e.g., chinese).

In the embodiment, the body marker 20 is composed of the 1 st body marker 21, the 2 nd body marker 22, and the 3 rd body marker 23. The 1 st body marker 21 may be disposed inside the 2 nd body marker 22 in the width direction W. The 3 rd body marker 23 may be disposed outside the 2 nd body marker 22 in the width direction W.

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. At least a part of the body marker 20 (a) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90, (b) may be disposed rearward of the center of the fastening band 90 in the front-rear direction L, (c) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (d) may be disposed rearward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (e) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 961F of the 1 st engaging portion 961, and (F) may be disposed rearward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engaging portion 961. The front end edge 20F of the body mark portion 20 may be (a) disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the adhesive tape 90, (b) disposed rearward of the center of the adhesive tape 90 in the front-rear direction L, (c) disposed rearward of the front end edge 962F of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (d) disposed rearward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engaging portion 962, (e) disposed rearward of the front end edge 961F of the 1 st engaging portion 961, and (F) disposed rearward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engaging portion 961. At least part (g) of the body mark section 20 may be disposed rearward of the rear end edge 50R of the absorbent core 50, (h) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 62F of the front and rear joining sections 62 in the rear waistline region S2, and (i) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 17F of the waist elastic member 17. The front end edge 20F (g) of the body mark portion 20 may be disposed rearward of the rear end edge 50R of the absorbent core 50, (h) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 62F of the front and rear joining portions 62 in the rear waistline region S2, and (i) may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 17F of the waist elastic member 17. Further, a part of the body mark portion 20 may be disposed forward of the front end edge 17F of the waist elastic member 17, and the remaining part of the body mark portion 20 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 17F of the waist elastic member 17. The entire body marker 20 may be disposed in a region extending in the width direction from the fastening tape 90 (the tab extending outward in the width direction from the absorbent main body 11).

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, at least a part of each of the pair of body markers 20 may be disposed outside the inner edges 62E of the front and rear joint sections 62 on the width center WC side in the width direction W. The inner edge 20I of the body marker 20 may be disposed further outward in the width direction W than the inner edge 62E of the front-rear joint 62. At least a part of each of the pair of body mark portions 20 may be disposed outside the rising edge 61WE in the width direction W of the rising portion 61 in the width direction W. For example, the 1 st body marker portion 21 may be disposed inward of the rising edge 61WE in the width direction W, and the 3 rd body marker portion 23 may be disposed outward of the rising edge 61WE in the width direction W. The inner edge 20I of the body mark portion 20 may be disposed outside the rising edge 61WE of the rising portion 61 in the width direction W. At least a part of each of the pair of body mark portions 20 may be disposed outward in the width direction W from the outer edge 17E of the waist elastic member 17. The inner edge 20I of the body mark 20 may be disposed further outward in the width direction W than the outer edge 17E of the waist elastic member 17.

At least a part of each of the pair of body mark parts 20 may be disposed inside the outer edge 11E of the absorbent main body 11 in the width direction W. The outer edge 20O of the body marker 20 may be disposed inward of the outer edge 11E of the absorbent main body 11 in the width direction W. The outer edge 20O of the body marker 20 may be disposed (a) on the inner side in the width direction W than the outer edge of the top sheet 41a, and (b) on the inner side in the width direction W than the outer edge of the width joint 63.

In the front-rear direction L, the front end edge 20F of the body mark portion 20 may be located forward 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 rear end edge 20R of the body mark portion 20 may be located rearward of the rearmost rear end edge of the engagement portion 96. The front end edge 20F of the body marker portion 20 may be located rearward of 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) in the front-rear direction L.

The absorbent article 10 may have one or more sheets disposed on the skin surface side T1 of the body marker 20. The sheet has light transmittance. The sheet may be made of a nonwoven fabric, for example, to have light transmittance. In the present embodiment, the body mark part 20 is provided on the non-skin surface of the top sheet 41 a. The body mark part 20 may be provided on the skin surface of the top sheet 41a or the non-skin surface of the side sheet 41b.

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 body marker 20 may be disposed in a region that does not overlap with the contracting member in the thickness direction T.

(4) Pad marker

Next, the pad marker 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 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 markers 30 may be disposed in the rear waistline region S2. As shown in fig. 5B, the front end edge 30F of the pad marking portion 30 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90. Thus, when the body marker 20 is disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening tape 90, the body marker 20 can be easily visually recognized when the attachment assistant is attached to the absorbent article 10 on which the pad marker 30 is mounted. 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).

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. The pad marker 30 can be provided by printing on the absorbent article 10 using oil-based ink, for example. The pad marking portion 30 may have a front end edge 30F positioned farthest forward in the front-rear direction L and a rear end edge 30R positioned farthest rearward in the front-rear direction L (see B in 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, for example, 20mm or more and 70mm or less.

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 body mark part 20 can indicate the range of the arrangement position of the end part of the absorbent pad 100 in the front-back 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 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. The pad mark part 30 may have a 3 rd pad mark part 33 indicating with letters that the pad mark part 30 is a mark 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".

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 marker 20 is spaced from the pad marker 30 in the front-to-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 lengths ML may be separated by 20mm or more, for example. 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 located 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 located 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 in the width direction W from the outer edge 20O of the body marker 20, and the outer edge 30O of the pad marker 30 may be located outward in the width direction W from the inner edge 20I of the body marker 20. 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. As shown in fig. 5, the attachment assistant places the rear end portion 100R of the absorbent pad 100 on the non-skin surface side T2 of the standing part 61, and attaches 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 contacting the position of the waist of the wearer.

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. Since the body marker 20 is disposed outside the central region CR in the width direction W, the body marker 20 is less likely to be blocked by the body of the wearer than when the body marker 20 is disposed only in the central region CR. Even if the wearer lies on the back of the absorbent article 10, the attachment assistant can easily visually recognize the body mark portion 20. When the wearer notices that the body mark portion 20 is misaligned with the wearer's skeleton, the absorbent article 10 can be moved during attachment to adjust the position of the absorbent article 10 so that the position of the wearer's skeleton is aligned with the body mark portion 20.

Next, the front side of the absorbent article 10 is attached so as to cover the crotch and the 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 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. Since the positions of the wearer's bones are less susceptible to the influence of the physical constitution of the wearer and the influence of the change in body weight than the hips of the wearer, the absorbent article 10 can be appropriately attached to each wearer by fitting the positions of the wearer's bones to the body markers 20 indicating the arrangement positions of the wearer's bones even if the body type of each wearer differs. This makes it difficult for the positions of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the absorbent article 10 to deviate from the ideal positions, and thus deterioration of the wearing feeling and leakage of excrement can be suppressed. Further, since the body-marking portion 20 is disposed at the outer side in the width direction W than the central region CR, the body-marking portion 20 is less likely to be blocked by the body of the wearer than in the case of being disposed in the central region CR. This makes it easy for the attachment assistant to visually recognize the body marker 20, and thus the absorbent article 10 can be easily attached with reference to the body marker 20.

In addition, the body marker 20 may indicate the arrangement position of the iliac crest IC of the wearer. When a plurality of installation assistants in a hospital, a nursing facility, or the like attach the absorbent article 10 to a wearer (particularly, an elderly person), there are cases where the hip recognition differs for each installation assistant. Therefore, even if a part of the attachment assistant fits the position of the buttocks of the wearer to the body mark section 20 indicating the arrangement position of the buttocks, there is a possibility that the absorbent article 10 cannot be attached properly. Here, the iliac crest IC is usually located at a portion protruding near the waist of the wearer, and therefore the installation assistant can not only easily visually recognize the position of the iliac crest IC, but also accurately recognize the position of the iliac crest IC by touching the position of the waist of the wearer. Therefore, each attachment assistant can accurately recognize the position of the iliac crest IC, and can appropriately attach the absorbent article 10 by fitting the position of the iliac crest IC of the wearer to the body marker 20.

At least a part of the body marker 20 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90 and forward of the rear end edge 90R of the fastening band 90. Thus, in a state where the marking portions are aligned with the positions of the bones of the wearer, since the fastening tape 90 is fixed to the front waistline region S1, the region between the front end edge 90F and the rear end edge 90R of the fastening tape 90 is in close contact with the body of the wearer, and therefore the positions of the bones of the wearer are less likely to deviate from the body marking portions 20. Therefore, the absorbent article 10 can be maintained in a properly attached state, and therefore deterioration in wearing comfort and/or leakage of excrement can be continuously suppressed.

At least a part of the body marker 20 may be disposed forward of the rear end edge 961R of the 1 st engagement portion 961 and rearward of the rear end edge 962R of the 2 nd engagement portion 962. Thus, the 1 st engagement portion 961 and the 2 nd engagement portion 962 are engaged so as to sandwich at least a part of the body marker 20 in the front-rear direction L, and therefore the position of the wearer's bone is less likely to shift from the body marker 20. Thus, the state in which the absorbent article 10 is properly attached can be maintained.

Further, at least a part of each of the pair of body markers 20 may be disposed outside the inner edges 62E of the front and rear joint portions 62 on the width center WC side in the width direction W. The body marker 20 can be visually recognized from either the left or right of the wearer's body by the pair of body markers 20. Further, a region inward in the width direction W from the inner edge 62E of the front and rear joint sections 62 is a region for receiving excrement, and is a region on which the body of the wearer is placed when the absorbent article 10 is attached. Therefore, the body covering portion 20 is disposed at a position further outward in the width direction W than a region on which the body of the wearer is placed (i.e., a region further inward in the width direction W than the inner edge 62E of the front and rear joint portions 62), and the body covering portion 20 is less likely to be hidden by the body of the wearer. This makes it easy for the attachment assistant to visually recognize the body marker 20, and thus the absorbent article can be easily attached with reference to the body marker 20.

Further, at least a part of each of the pair of body mark portions 20 may be disposed outside the rising edge 61WE in the width direction W of the rising portion 61 in the width direction W. Since the standing portion 61 blocks the excrement by standing up, the region on the inner side in the width direction W than the standing end edge 61WE is a region on which the body of the wearer is easily placed when the absorbent article 10 is attached. Therefore, the body covering portion 20 is disposed at a position further outward in the width direction W than the region where the body of the wearer is easily placed (i.e., the region further inward in the width direction W than the rising edge 61 WE), and the body covering portion 20 is less likely to be hidden by the body of the wearer. The installation assistant can more easily visually recognize the body mark part 20.

Further, one or more sheets may be provided at the position closer to the skin surface side T1 than the body marker 20. Accordingly, the body marker 20 does not come into direct contact with the skin of the wearer, and therefore, the influence of the body marker 20 on the skin of the wearer (for example, in the case where the body marker 20 is provided by printing with ink, the ink moves to the skin, or the ink damages the skin, etc.) can be suppressed.

The body marker 20 may be disposed in a region that does not overlap with the contracting member in the thickness direction T. This makes it difficult for the region in which the body marker 20 is disposed to contract due to contraction of the contraction member, and thus, deterioration in visibility of the body marker 20 can be suppressed.

The body marker 20 may indicate the range of the arrangement position of the bones of the wearer in the front-back direction L. Thus, the attachment assistant can conceivably adjust the arrangement of the wearer's bones within the range shown by the body marker 20. The mental burden on an installation assistant who needs to arrange the skeleton of the wearer at a precise position for proper installation can be reduced. In addition, the time for adjusting the arrangement position of the wearer's bones can be reduced as compared with the case where the wearer's bones are arranged at precise positions, and therefore, the mounting time can be easily shortened. In addition, even when a plurality of attachment assistants attach the absorbent article 10 to the wearer, each attachment assistant can easily place the wearer's bones within the range shown by the body mark 20, as compared with the case where the body mark 20 shows the placement position of the bones at a precise position. Thus, each of the plurality of attachment assistants can appropriately attach the absorbent article 10.

The body marker 20 may graphically indicate the location of the attachment site to which the absorbent article 10 is attached and the wearer's bones. Thus, the attachment assistant can clearly identify the attachment site and the arrangement position of the wearer's skeleton by using the figure, and therefore, the meaning of the body marker 20 can be easily understood, and the absorbent article can be easily attached with reference to the body marker 20.

The body marker 20 may indicate, by characters, the bones of the wearer to be arranged at the arrangement position indicated by the body marker 20. Thus, the attachment assistant who visually recognizes the characters can recognize that the wearer's skeleton should be arranged by using the body mark section 20, and thus it is possible to reduce the possibility that the attachment assistant erroneously arranges other parts of the wearer's body.

In addition, the body marker 20 and the pad marker 30 may be separated in the front-rear direction L. This makes it easy for the wearer to recognize the body mark part 20 and the pad mark part 30 differently, and the body mark part 20 and the pad mark part 30 can be recognized separately. As a result, the possibility that the wearer's bone is erroneously brought into contact with the position of the pad marking portion 30 can be reduced.

In addition, at least a part of the body marker 20 may overlap the pad marker 30 in the front-rear direction L. Thus, when the pad marker 30 is found, the body marker 20 can be found by moving the line of sight in the front-rear direction L, and therefore the attachment assistant can easily find the body marker 20. Therefore, the attachment assistant can easily attach the absorbent article with the body mark 20 as a reference.

The body marker 20 and the pad marker 30 may be disposed rearward of the front end edge 90F of the fastening band 90. Thus, when the pad marker 30 is found, the body marker 20 is also easily visible, and the attachment assistant can easily find the body marker 20. Therefore, the attachment assistant can easily attach the absorbent article with the body mark 20 as a reference.

(6) Other embodiments

The present invention has been described in detail with reference to 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 modifications and variations 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 marker 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 marker 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 pad marker 30, but is not limited thereto. The absorbent article 10 may not have the pad markers 30. The absorbent pad 100 may be used without being attached to the absorbent article 10.
