Description

  The present invention relates to a male light incontinence pad. More specifically, the present invention relates to a light incontinence pad for men, which is less likely to shift or come off due to the movement of the wearer and can provide a good wearing feeling.

  Conventionally, a urine pad including a top sheet, a back sheet, and an absorber interposed between both sheets is known as a urine pad for infants or adults such as the elderly and the disabled. It has been.

  By using the urine pad so that the surface of the top sheet is in contact with the skin of the wearer, the urine excreted by the wearer passes through the top sheet and is absorbed and held by the absorber. The back sheet having excellent leakage prevention prevents urine from leaking to the outside.

  Although many women have mild incontinence problems, men may experience urge urinary incontinence or overflow urinary incontinence due to enlarged prostate. Absorbent products are used in a variety of cases to absorb urine, such as functional urinary incontinence that falls short of the toilet due to decreased physical function and treatment of urine when bedridden due to illness. Yes. For example, as a urine pad specialized for men, a type in which male organs are encapsulated and used is known (for example, see Patent Document 1). Such a male urine pad is, for example, a rectangular urine pad molded into a triangle using an adhesive tape or the like and used in a state of enclosing a male genitalia. The contact area between urine and the wearer's skin can be reduced as compared with the urine pad used by being placed on top.

  Moreover, as a male urine pad, for example, it has an absorbent body disposed between a top sheet and a back sheet, and a flap portion along the longitudinal direction (left-right direction) on the outer side (outer edge) of the absorbent body In which a cut portion (slit) is formed at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction of the flap portion (see, for example, Patent Document 2), or a bag shape that has been molded in advance (see, for example, Patent Document 3) ) Has also been proposed.

  Hereinafter, the form for implementing the male light incontinence pad of this invention is demonstrated concretely, referring drawings. However, the present invention broadly includes male light incontinence pads having the invention-specific matters, and is not limited to the following embodiments.

[1] Light incontinence pads for men:
As shown in FIG. 1, the male light incontinence pad of the present invention includes an absorbent main body 14 in which a plurality of sheets 18 and 20 are laminated with an absorbent body 22 sandwiched therebetween, and the inner surface 32 side of the wearer's inner surface 32 of the wearer. A light incontinence pad 1a for men that is used in contact with male genitalia, and the absorbent main body 14 is formed with a valley fold 36 that is bent in a valley fold toward the inner surface 32 side, and a valley fold. At least one end portion 36a of the portion 36 has a stop portion 38 that maintains the valley fold state of the valley fold portion 36, and when the absorbent main body 14 is deployed, a concave space 33 is formed on the inner surface 32 side. The absorbent main body 14 is arranged along the transverse direction X of the valley fold 36 on the end side having the stopper 38 on the inner surface 32 or on the opposite end side thereof. A mooring band 40 for mooring the absorbent body 14 to a male genitalia Further it has.

  The light incontinence pad for men of the present invention can be suitably used as a light incontinence pad for mild incontinence measures, and can be more suitably used as a light incontinence pad for male incontinence in daily life. . Moreover, it can be used as a liner for preventing urine stains of male underwear.

  When the male light incontinence pad 1a shown in FIG. 1 is mounted, for example, the absorbent main body 14 is unfolded so that the valley fold 36 of the absorbent main body 14 constituting the male light incontinence pad 1a is expanded. A concave space 33 is formed on the inner surface 32 side, and the inner surface 32 (see FIG. 1) side is used by being directed to the male device 54 of the wearer 52 as shown in FIG. At this time, for example, the mooring band 40 is moored to the male instrument 54, and the absorbent main body 14 and the male instrument 54 are connected via the mooring band 40. In FIG. 2, the male light incontinence pad 1a is moored to the male genitalia 54 by passing the testicle 54a through a loop-shaped ring formed by the mooring band 40 and turning the mooring band 40 on the back side of the testicle 54a. Thereby, the light incontinence pad 1a for men is hard to shift | deviate or remove | deviate by a wearer's movement, and a favorable mounting feeling (fit feeling) can be obtained. Moreover, urine leakage from the male light incontinence pad 1a can be effectively prevented. Further, since the lower end of the male light incontinence pad 1a can be tensioned by the mooring band 40 so that the lower end of the male light incontinence pad 1a is not curled or turned up, the mounting position of the male light incontinence pad 1a is shifted and the male light incontinence pad 1a. Troubles such as rubbing between the end of 1a and the testicle 54a can be effectively prevented.

  Here, FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing one embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, and is a view showing an inner surface side of the male light incontinence pad. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing a state where the light incontinence pad for men shown in FIG. 1 is worn.

  The “mooring” in the present invention refers to a state in which two objects have no degree of freedom (space) or are connected with a predetermined degree of freedom (space), and the male light incontinence pad of the present invention. Can connect a male light incontinence pad (absorbent body) and male genitals (testis or penis), including a state with a sufficient space (clear state), via a mooring band. The male light incontinence pad of the present invention is preferably moored in a relaxed state via a mooring band. By doing in this way, since it does not have an excessive restraint force with respect to shape changes, such as the length and volume of a penis, and the shape change of a testicle, a discomfort is not given to a wearer.

  1 and 2, the mooring band 40 is disposed on the end side of the inner surface 32 of the absorbent main body 14 having the stopper 38, and the mooring band 40 is passed through the back side of the testicle 54a so as to pass through the absorbent main body. 14 and the male instrument 54 are shown in an example, and for example, the light incontinence pad for males of the present invention has a stopper on the inner surface 32 of the absorbent main body 14 as shown in FIG. The light incontinence pad 1b for men in which the mooring band 40 is arranged at the end opposite to the end side having 38 may be used.

  That is, in the male light incontinence pad 1a shown in FIG. 1, the mooring band 40 is disposed at the position below the wearer's body (that is, the crotch side), but the male light incontinence shown in FIG. In the pad 1b, a mooring band 40 is disposed at a position above the wearer's body.

  In this way, when the mooring band 40 is arranged at a position on the upper side of the body, the mooring band 40 is not passed through the back side of the testicle, but instead of passing through the back of the testicle, as shown in FIG. The absorbent main body 14 and the male genitalia 54 are moored to the penis 54b. More specifically, it can be moored by passing the penis 54b through a loop-shaped ring formed by the mooring band 40 and turning the mooring band 40 around the penis 54b.

  In such a case, since the mooring band serves as a guide for the penis and continues to guide the penis to contact the inside of the male light incontinence pad, urine leakage can be effectively prevented. It also prevents troubles such as turning the upper end of the light incontinence pad for men to curl or rub against the penis.

  In the case where the mooring band 40 is moored to the penis 54b, not only the penis 54b is passed through the looped ring formed by the mooring band, but also, for example, the mooring band is hooked on the penis and moored. A mooring band can also be wound around the penis.

  Here, FIG. 3 is a perspective view schematically showing another embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, and is a view showing an inner surface side of the male light incontinence pad. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a state in which the light incontinence pad for men shown in FIG. 3 is worn. In addition, in each figure, what is comprised similarly to each element of the male incontinence pad 1a for men shown to FIG. 1A attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description.

  As described above, the male light incontinence pad of the present invention has a mooring band arranged so as to cross the valley fold at the upper side or the lower side of the inner surface of the absorbent main body. A mooring band can moor men's light incontinence pads and male genitals, such as testicles and penis, and move the absorbent body to follow when the male genitals are moved by the wearer's movement. It is possible to effectively prevent misalignment and detachment of the male light incontinence pad. Thus, the wearer can obtain a good wearing feeling and can effectively prevent urine leakage from the light incontinence pad.

  Hereinafter, each component which comprises the male light incontinence pad of this invention is demonstrated still in detail.

[1-1] Absorbent body:
The light incontinence pad for men of the present invention includes an absorbent main body as a member having a function of absorbing and holding urine excreted by the wearer. The absorbent main body is formed by laminating a plurality of sheets with the absorbent body sandwiched between them. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, the absorbent body is disposed so as to cover the absorbent body 22 and the inner surface of the absorbent body 22. The inner surface sheet 18 and the outer surface sheet 20 disposed so as to cover the outer surface of the absorber 22 are included as components, and the absorber 22 is sandwiched between the inner surface sheet 18 and the outer surface sheet 20. A member that is fixed and integrated in a pad shape can be exemplified.

  The above "inner surface of the absorber" refers to a surface located on the skin side of the wearer when the light incontinence pad for men is worn. On the other hand, the above "external surface of the absorber" When a light incontinence pad is worn, it refers to the surface located on the wearer's clothing side.

[1-1a] Inner sheet:
An inner surface sheet is a sheet | seat arrange | positioned on the surface located in a wearer's skin side. For this reason, it is preferable that at least a part of the inner surface sheet is constituted by a liquid-permeable sheet. By comprising in this way, urine can permeate | transmit a liquid-permeable sheet | seat, reaches | attains an absorber rapidly, and can be absorbed and hold | maintained. In addition, as long as at least one part is comprised with the liquid-permeable sheet, the whole inner surface sheet does not necessarily need to be comprised with the liquid-permeable sheet. As long as the liquid-permeable sheet is a sheet having liquid permeability, the material of the sheet is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, and a porous film.

  In addition, as a more suitable example of an inner surface sheet, a liquid-permeable nonwoven fabric can be mentioned. By using such a liquid-permeable non-woven fabric, the skin feel is good and the smoothness of the surface after liquid absorption can be improved.

[1-1b] Outer sheet:
An outer surface sheet is a sheet | seat arrange | positioned on the surface located in a wearer's clothing side. The outer sheet is a liquid-impermeable sheet that does not allow urine to pass through to prevent urine absorbed by the absorber from leaking to the outside of the absorbent main body, or it does not easily pass through urine, but can be transmitted by applying pressure. It is preferable that the liquid low permeability sheet is used.

  As the liquid impervious sheet described above, a polyethylene film used for general absorbent products can be cited as a preferred example. Such polyethylene films include a moisture permeable polyethylene film and a non-moisture permeable polyethylene film, and any film can be used as an outer sheet, but a moisture permeable polyethylene film can be more suitably used. By using such a moisture-permeable polyethylene film as an outer sheet, stuffiness is reduced during wearing, and comfort when wearing a light incontinence pad can be improved.

  Moreover, as a liquid low-permeability sheet | seat mentioned above, a nonwoven fabric with a high water pressure resistance can be mentioned as a suitable example. As the nonwoven fabric with high water pressure resistance, for example, nonwoven fabrics such as SMS (spunbond / meltblown / spunbond) and SMMS (spunbond / meltblown / meltblown / meltblown / spunbond) are preferable.

  Since these non-woven fabrics are obtained by accumulating and bonding hydrophobic synthetic fibers, urine may be repelled, but urine may pass if pressure is applied. However, when the male incontinence pad for men of the present invention is used as a light incontinence pad for mild incontinence by a man living in daily life, the amount of urine at the time of incontinence is small, so such a liquid low Even a permeable sheet can be sufficiently used as an outer sheet. Thereby, air permeability can be further improved as compared with the case where the above-described polyethylene film is used, and the comfort when the light incontinence pad is worn can be further improved.

  The water pressure resistance is a numerical value representing the performance (waterproofness) that suppresses the force applied to the moisture that tries to soak into the fabric constituting the sheet. For example, it conforms to JIS L 1092 water resistance test A method. It can be measured by the method. In the light incontinence pad for men of the present invention, the water pressure resistance is 40 mmAq. The above nonwoven fabrics can be mentioned, and the water pressure resistance is 100 mmAq. The above nonwoven fabric can be used suitably.

  Furthermore, you may use the sheet | seat which laminated | stacked the said polyethylene film and the said nonwoven fabric with high water pressure resistance as an outer surface sheet. By configuring in this way, it is difficult for the wearer to rub around the outer sheet and the underwear of the wearer when touching or touching the outer sheet when replacing the light incontinence pad for men or during wearing. It can be worn safely without worrying about eyes and ears.

[1-1c] Absorber:
The absorber used for the general absorbent product can be used as the absorber. For example, as an absorbent material constituting the absorber, fluff pulp obtained by pulverizing wood pulp into a cotton shape and a highly water-absorbing resin (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “SAP”) can be cited as preferred examples.

  In addition, in order to wrap the said absorber as needed, you may have further the water absorbent paper and the nonwoven fabric which performed the hydrophilic treatment. That is, it may be an absorbent body in which an absorbent material containing fluff pulp and SAP is wrapped with the above water-absorbing paper or a non-woven fabric subjected to hydrophilic treatment.

  In addition, in the light incontinence pad for men of the present invention, the absorbent body does not need a large amount of absorption as long as it corresponds to a very small amount of water absorption as a light incontinence use. In order to meet the need for a thin type, the absorbent body and one of the sheets sandwiching the absorbent body may be integrally configured. For example, by directly fixing SAP on the above-described SMS nonwoven fabric or SMMS nonwoven fabric, and further covering the surface with the above absorbent paper or nonwoven fabric for wrapping, the absorbent body and the back sheet are integrated, and one sheet having both functions It may be used as a water absorbing sheet. An SAP sheet in which only SAP is sandwiched between hydrophilic nonwoven fabrics can also be used.

[1-2] Valley folds and stop portions that maintain the valley fold state:
The absorbent main body constituting the male light incontinence pad of the present invention is formed with a valley fold portion that is bent into a valley fold toward the inner surface side of the absorbent main body. And at least one end part of this valley fold part has the stop part which maintains the valley fold state of a valley fold part, and at the time of deployment use of an absorptive main part, it is a concave space in the inner surface side of an absorptive main part. Is formed.

  The said valley fold part is formed so that a crease | fold may be arrange | positioned along a wearer's up-down direction, when an absorptive main body is addressed to a wearer. In addition, in this specification, when an absorptive main body is addressed to a wearer, the direction used as a wearer's up-down direction may be called the vertical direction of an absorptive main body.

  Such a valley fold may be formed through the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body, or may be formed only around the stop portion that maintains the valley folded state without penetrating in the longitudinal direction. Good. That is, the valley fold part should just be formed in at least one edge part among the edge parts in the vertical direction of an absorptive main body.

  Moreover, although it is preferable that the stop part which maintains a valley fold state is arrange | positioned only at the end of a valley fold part, you may arrange | position at the both ends of a valley fold part.

  By having such a valley fold portion and a stop portion, a tack (that is, a crease-like crease) is formed in the absorbent main body. Therefore, when the absorbent main body is deployed and used, it is formed on the inner surface side of the absorbent main body. A concave space is formed. In addition, the above-mentioned “deployment use” means that the absorbent main body folded by the valley fold portion is expanded (expanded), a part of the folded state of the valley fold portion is opened, and the inner surface side of the absorbent main body is opened. To make it ready for use by the wearer. That is, the portion where the valley fold state is not maintained spreads while the valley fold state is released at the time of expansion, but the vicinity of the stop portion where the valley fold state is maintained cannot be expanded because the valley fold state is not released at the time of expansion. For this reason, a difference arises in the development area, and a concave space is formed on the inner surface side of the absorbent main body (that is, the male light incontinence pad).

  When the absorbent main body (i.e., the male light incontinence pad) has such a shape, the fit is very good when it is directed to the male genitals. In particular, men should be able to spread the light incontinence pad from the testicle side to the front of the wearer (front body) by placing the light incontinence pad so that the stop portion side is located on the testicle side of the wearer. Since the vessel can be covered, the uncomfortable feeling during wearing can be greatly reduced.

  In the light incontinence pad for men of the present invention, the number of valley folds is not limited to one, and there may be a plurality of valley folds. For example, FIG. 8 shows an example in which valley folds 36 are formed at two locations, one on each side across the center in the width direction of male light incontinence pad 1f, and FIG. The example at the time of forming the valley fold part 36 in three places in the width direction of the light incontinence pad 1g is shown. In such a light incontinence pad for men, the stop part which maintains a valley fold state will be formed in the at least one edge part of each valley fold part. Here, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 are perspective views schematically showing still another embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, and are views showing the inner surface side of the male light incontinence pad.

  As described above, by forming a plurality of valley folds in the absorbent main body, the shape of the absorbent main body (surface shape) becomes a polyhedral shape, so that the fit of the light incontinence pad for men can be improved. it can.

  Moreover, if the stop part for maintaining the valley fold state of a valley fold part is what can fix the inner side surfaces of an absorptive main body, for example, and can maintain a part of valley fold state, There are no restrictions on the fixing method. Examples of the fixing method include hot embossing, heat sealing, hot melt, and adhesion using an adhesive tape.

[1-3] Mooring band:
The light incontinence pad for men of the present invention has an absorbent main body disposed along the transverse direction of the valley fold on the end side having the stopper on the inner surface of the absorbent main body or on the opposite end side. It has a mooring band that is moored to male genitalia.

  The width of the mooring band (length in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body) is assumed to be narrower than the length in the vertical direction of the absorbent main body. Thereby, since the inner surface side of an absorptive main body is not covered with a mooring band, without impairing the absorptivity of an absorptive main body, a wearer's excreted urine can be absorbed favorably. .

  The mooring band is for gently mooring the absorbent main body with the penis and testicles. For example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the looped ring formed by the mooring band 40, It can be used so that the testicle can be accommodated with a degree of freedom, and the absorbent main body 14 can be moored to the male genitalia 54.

  For example, when used in the state shown in FIG. 2, both ends of the mooring band will be arranged at both side edges at the lower end of the inner surface of the absorbent main body, and used in the state shown in FIG. In that case, both ends of the mooring band will be disposed on both side edges at the upper end of the inner surface of the absorbent main body. In any case, the absorbent main body can be moored gently against the penis or testicle, and the light incontinence pad for men is difficult to slip or come off due to the movement of the wearer, and a good wearing feeling is obtained. be able to.

  Moreover, in the male light incontinence pad of this invention, although illustration is abbreviate | omitted, you may have two mooring bands with respect to one absorptive main body. That is, one mooring band may be disposed on each of the upper and lower ends of the inner surface of the absorbent main body, the upper mooring band may be moored on the penis, and the lower mooring band may be moored on the testicle. By comprising in this way, the shift | offset | difference and removal | release of the male light incontinence pad can be prevented more favorably.

  Further, in the light incontinence pad for men of the present invention, as described above, the mooring band formed separately from the absorbent main body is not disposed on the absorbent main body, but the peripheral portion of the absorbent main body. In the above, a mooring band may be formed by the flap portion in a state where a plurality of sheets are laminated and a part is released and both ends are continuous with the absorbent main body. In addition, the above-mentioned “free” means a state where both ends of the cut flap portion are separated from the main body of the sheet.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the absorbent main body 14 is composed of a sheet laminated portion 14 a in which a plurality of sheets 18, 20 are laminated on the outer peripheral portion of the absorbent main body 14, and a plurality of sheets 18, 20. 22 is formed between the sheet laminate portion 14a and the absorber laminate portion 14b, and a cut portion 62 is formed between the sheet laminate portion 14a and the absorber laminate portion 14b. The mooring band 42 may be formed by the released sheet stacking portion 14a ′.

  In FIG. 5, the notch 62 is formed at the end opposite to the end having the stopper 38 of the inner surface 32 of the absorbent main body 14 (the position above the wearer's body) and is released. The male light incontinence pad 1c in which the mooring band 42 is formed by the sheet laminated portion 14a ′ is shown.

  Thus, by forming a mooring band by the free part of a sheet | seat lamination | stacking part, the manufacturing process of the light incontinence pad for men can be simplified, and the light incontinence pad for men of this invention can be manufactured simply and cheaply. About the usage method of such a mooring band, it is the same as that of the thing at the time of arrange | positioning a separate mooring band in an absorptive main body.

  In addition, it is preferable that the notch | incision part 62 is formed in the sheet | seat lamination | stacking part 14a side slightly from the boundary part of the sheet | seat lamination | stacking part 14a and the absorber lamination | stacking part 14b. With this configuration, when the cut portion 62 is formed between the sheet laminate portion 14a and the absorber laminate portion 14b, a flap portion due to the sheet laminate portion 14a remains around the absorber 22, and the cut portion 62 is formed. It is possible to effectively prevent the absorber 22 from leaking or protruding.

  Here, FIG. 5 is a perspective view schematically showing still another embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, and is a view showing an inner surface side of the male light incontinence pad. In addition, in FIG. 5, although the example in case the notch part 62 is formed in the position of the wearer's body upper side of the absorptive main body 14 is shown, a notch part is formed in the wearer's body lower side position. May be.

  The shape of the incision can be selected in consideration of the ease of insertion of penis and testicles, difficulty in removal, the feeling of pressure to be applied, etc., but the shape of “V” or “U” The shape etc. can be mentioned as a suitable example. Also, it may be an arbitrary shape such as a straight slit, a cross slit, or a round hole.

  Further, the mooring band formed by such a cut portion may be folded back to the inner surface side of the absorbent main body, and further, after being folded back to the inner surface side, at least one end is fixed to the absorbent main body. May be. For example, FIG. 6A shows an example in which the mooring band 42 formed by the cut portion 62 is folded back to the inner surface 32 side of the absorbent main body 14, and FIG. 6B shows the mooring band formed by the cut portion 62. 42 shows an example in which 42 is folded back to the inner surface 32 side of the absorbent main body 14 and both ends of the mooring band 42 are fixed to the absorbent main body 14. The male incontinence pad 1d as shown in FIG. 6B has a stable root portion of the mooring band 42, and the mooring band 42 can stably moor the absorbent main body 14. Here, FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B are perspective views schematically showing still another embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, and are views showing the inner surface side of the male light incontinence pad.

  In addition, the mooring band used for the male light incontinence pad of the present invention is provided with elasticity so that it can follow the movement of the male genitals even when the positional relationship between the male genitals and the light incontinence pads changes. It is preferable that it is made. Moreover, in order to prevent the mooring band from twisting into a string and biting into the male genitalia, it is preferable that an appropriate cushioning property is provided. When cushioning and moderate rigidity are imparted, both twisting and biting can be effectively prevented.

  The mooring band may be composed of any single material. For example, the mooring band includes a core material that functions the mooring band and a surface material disposed on the surface of the core material. It is preferable that it is comprised.

  For example, when using a raw material independently, a nonwoven fabric can be used suitably. As a nonwoven fabric rich in stretchability, for example, a stretchable nonwoven fabric obtained by forming a urethane-based resin into a sheet shape by a melt blow manufacturing method can be given as a suitable example.

  As described above, when the mooring band is provided with stretchability, the mooring band formed by placing the stretchable elastic body on the nonwoven fabric in the stretched state and sandwiching the stretchable elastic body with the nonwoven fabric is preferably used. Can be used. The mooring band configured in this way can shrink the mooring band to an arbitrary size, so that it is easy to connect the inner surface of the light incontinence pad by shortcut, and the elastic elastic body gathers the gathering band. Since the crest of the ringed nonwoven fabric has cushioning properties, it does not irritate the skin even if it touches the genital area such as the penis and testicles.

  As the above-mentioned stretchable elastic body, thread rubber made of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, etc., flat rubber, elastic net-like sheet, stretchable polyurethane foam, elastomer and the like can be used.

  Moreover, as mentioned above, when providing cushioning properties to the mooring band, it is preferable to form the mooring band with a foamed resin. For example, a mooring band can be formed using a foamed resin sheet, foamed polyurethane, or the like obtained by adding a foaming agent to polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or the like and extruding it into a sheet. Moreover, you may form a mooring band using a bulky nonwoven fabric. The mooring band constructed in this way has cushioning properties, so that even if the mooring band comes in contact with the periphery of the male genitals, it will not hurt, and if the rigidity is also given, the mooring band will have a string shape. It becomes possible to prevent the situation that bites into the male genitalia.

  Note that the above foamed foam does not require elasticity. In addition, since the foamed polyurethane includes a grade having a high stretchability and a grade having a low stretchability, the polyurethane foam can be appropriately selected and used depending on the application.

  As shown in FIG. 5, when the mooring band 42 is formed by forming the cut portion 62 in the male light incontinence pad 1 d, for example, in the region where the cut portion 62 is formed as shown in FIG. The stretchable elastic body and the cushioning property-imparting material are disposed (in FIG. 7, an example in which the cushioning property-imparting material 64 is disposed is shown), and the notch 62 is formed in the cushioning property-imparting material 64 together with the sheet lamination portion 14a. It may be formed. For example, as the cushioning imparting material 64, the above-mentioned foamed polyurethane and the like can be mentioned as a suitable example. Thus, when it is desired to give stretchability and cushioning properties to both sides of the cut portion 62, the cut portion 62 may be formed within the arrangement range of the stretchable elastic body and the cushioning property-imparting material. Further, by forming the cut portion 62 between the arrangement range of the stretchable elastic body or cushioning property imparting material and the absorbent body, stretchability and cushioning property can be imparted only to the mooring band side.

  By comprising in this way, the material (cushioning provision material 64) which provides a stretching property and cushioning property is arrange | positioned both in the mooring band 42 side of the light incontinence pad 1e for men, and the absorptive main body 14 side. The male light incontinence pad 1e can be more comfortably worn. Here, FIG. 7 is a perspective view schematically showing still another embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, and is a view showing an inner surface side of the male light incontinence pad.

[2] Manufacturing method of light incontinence pads for men:
Next, an example of manufacturing the male light incontinence pad according to the present invention in the case of manufacturing the male light incontinence pad shown in FIG. 1A will be described.

  First, a sheet-like absorptive main body in which a plurality of sheets are laminated in a state where the absorber is sandwiched is produced. Specifically, an absorbent body 22 having a predetermined shape sandwiched between tissues is disposed on the polyethylene film surface of the outer sheet 20 in which a moisture-permeable polyethylene film and a nonwoven fabric are bonded together. As the nonwoven fabric, a spunbond nonwoven fabric made of polypropylene or the like can be used. Furthermore, the inner surface sheet 18 which consists of an air through nonwoven fabric which consists of a core sheath fiber of polyethylene and polyester is arrange | positioned on the upper surface. Next, the peripheral portion of the absorbent body 22 is sealed so as to be sandwiched between the inner sheet 18 and the outer sheet 20, thereby obtaining the sheet-like absorbent main body 14.

  Next, a band-shaped mooring band member for forming the mooring band is produced. This mooring band member may be made of any single material described in the embodiment of the male light incontinence pad of the present invention, or a core material that functions the mooring band, and the core material You may produce using the surface material arrange | positioned on the surface of this. Next, each end of the produced anchoring band member is connected to both side edges of the absorbent main body 14, and the mooring band 40 is fixed to the absorbent main body 14.

  Next, the absorbent main body 14 is folded into a valley fold toward the inner surface side (that is, the surface side on which the inner surface sheet 18 is disposed) to form a valley fold 36, and the valley fold 36 of the absorbent main body 14 A part of the overlapping portion is fixed by an adhesive means such as hot embossing to form the stopper 38. In this way, the male light incontinence pad 1a as shown in FIG. 1 can be manufactured. In addition, the mooring band can be formed not only by using the mooring band member produced separately as described above, but also by forming a cut in the flap portion on the peripheral edge of the absorbent main body.

  The light incontinence pad for men of the present invention can be used as a male incontinence pad for measures against incontinence. In particular, it can be suitably used as a mild incontinence measure for men living in daily life.
