[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, diapers are widely used to prevent dirt on clothes and futons due to incontinence and to facilitate disposal of excrement. Typical examples are a flat cloth diaper and a disposable diaper.

[0003] The above-mentioned flat cloth diapers and paper diapers have been widely used more widely than before because of their simple shapes and low manufacturing costs. When this was done, a heavy bone portion was formed in the crotch portion and did not fit the human body, so that the diaper wearer felt discomfort.

Further, when the flat cloth diaper or the paper diaper is mounted, a waterproof cover (diaper cover) for preventing excretion from leaking due to incontinence and holding the flat cloth diaper or the paper diaper is provided. Although the waterproof cover is used, the waterproof cover is rough and rugged when worn, and does not adhere to the human body (skin), so that a good fit cannot be obtained. In addition, a flat cloth diaper is used. Wearing the waterproof cover after putting on the diaper or disposable diaper was quite troublesome.

[0005] In view of the above, there has been a demand for a diaper capable of solving the above-mentioned problems of the flat cloth diaper and the disposable diaper, providing a good fit, and easily mounting the diaper, as shown in FIG. A diaper 21 with such a wearing band has been proposed and used.

The diaper 21 with a wearing band is provided with a water absorbing body 22 (a water absorbing pad is provided between a water permeable material located on the human body side and a waterproof material located on the opposite side thereof) for receiving excrement due to incontinence. And the water absorbing body 22
And a mounting band 23, 24 for mounting the water-absorbing body 22 on the human body. The mounting is performed by putting the water-absorbing body 22 between the crotch of the human body and the front and back thereof. A fastening member made of a sealing member or the like provided at the end of the wearing band 24, while being closely attached to the lower abdomen (including the urinal) and the buttocks, and wrapping the wearing bands 23, 24 around the waist of the human body. 25 wearing band 23,
24 (FIG. 9).

The water absorbing body 22 is formed with a narrow crotch abutting portion 26, which is in contact with the crotch portion of the human body, and the water absorbing body 22 overlaps and warps the crotch of the human body. It is formed so as to be in close contact with each other, and to obtain a good fit.

Further, in order to obtain a better fit and to allow easier wearing, a shorts (pants) style diaper 31 as shown in FIG. 10 has been proposed and used. The shorts-style diaper 31 includes a water absorbing body 32 for receiving excrement due to incontinence, and a shorts portion 33 for holding the water absorbing body 32. The water absorbing body 32 is pressed against the crotch of the human body and the lower abdomen and buttocks located before and after the crotch by wearing the shorts portion 33, and an appropriate fit is obtained. At the same time, it can be mounted very easily.

The leg portion 3 of the shorts portion 33
Reference numeral 4 is formed in a V-shape, and is designed so as not to hinder the movement of the legs when the shorts-style diaper 31 is worn.
