  In general, a pants-type disposable diaper is a diaper body that is composed of a liquid-permeable top sheet, a liquid-impermeable back sheet, and an absorbent body disposed between the two sheets. It is formed by joining both side edges to form an opening around the waist and a pair of openings around the legs, and an elastic elastic member is arranged along each opening, so that it can be used suitably according to its application Various forms have been proposed and are widely used by infants and other adult incontinent persons.

Such a pants-type disposable diaper holds excrement such as urine excreted at the time of wearing in an absorbent body through a liquid-permeable top sheet, and the excrement is removed from the diaper by a liquid-impermeable back sheet. The structure prevents leakage, and in the case of an infant, the excrement is directly processed by a pants-type disposable diaper.
On the other hand, in the case of adult incontinence, unlike infants, a pants-type disposable diaper is used as a cover material, a urine collection pad is attached inside the diaper, and only the dirty urine collection pad is replaced. It is common. In this case, in order to fix the urine absorbing pad to the pants-type diaper, a slip prevention tape made of an adhesive sheet or the like is arranged on the back surface of the urine absorbing pad, but the peeling paper covering the adhesive is peeled off. There was a problem that it took a long time and the waste of the peeled release paper was generated. In addition, the slip prevention tape is often placed near the center of the urine removal pad, and the wearer is often a disabled person or an elderly person, and the urine removal pad can be worn well inside the diaper. First, the end of the urine pad is curled when wearing a diaper, or the urine pad is worn out of alignment, resulting in poor fit around the waist and excrement from around the waist. Had the problem of leaking out.

As a method of preventing the leakage of excrement from the waist around such a pants-type disposable diaper, pants with three-dimensional cuffs that stand up toward the inside of the diaper on the waist around the front and back Type disposable diapers are known, and various methods for forming waist circumference three-dimensional cuffs for preventing leakage are disclosed (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, Patent Document 3, Patent Document 4, Patent Document 5). .
