Preferably, in the above invention, the elastic holding film is fixed to the main body. This allows
The rotation of the diaper package can be reliably prevented without rotation of the elastic holding film itself.

Preferably, in the above invention, the elastic holding film is provided at a lower end portion of the cylindrical side wall so as to surround the diaper package from a side surface side, and is provided radially from a central portion. And a bottom portion forming an opening with a plurality of cut portions extending to the bottom.

As described above, by providing the elastic side holding film with the cylindrical side wall, it is possible to effectively increase the contact area with the diaper package as described above. Also, by providing a bottom portion forming an opening by a plurality of cut portions extending radially from the center portion, in a holding state of the diaper package, the cut portion is largely opened, but the cut portion is formed in the diaper package. The bite-in state makes it possible to further enhance the holding state of the diaper package.

In the above-mentioned invention, it is more preferable that the diaper housed in the flexible tube be provided in the main body and be rotated in a region below the package housing when the package housing is rotated. In order to prevent this, a holding member abutting on the flexible tube is further provided. As described above, by further providing the holding member, the holding state of the diaper package can be further enhanced.
