Description

  The present invention relates to a male urine pad. More specifically, the present invention relates to a male urine pad that is difficult to slip from a male genitalia when worn and can effectively prevent urine leakage.

  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.

  In particular, 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 urine pad of this invention is demonstrated concretely, referring drawings. However, the present invention broadly encompasses male urine pads having the invention-specific matters, and is not limited to the following embodiments.

[1] Male urine pad:
As shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, the male urine pad of the present invention is disposed so as to cover one surface of the absorbent body 22 and the absorbent body 22, and at least a top sheet made of a liquid-permeable material. 18 and an absorbent main body 14 having a back sheet 20 made of a liquid-impermeable material, and a top sheet on one end side of the absorbent main body 14. A male urine pad comprising: a male genital holding member 30 disposed on the surface side where 18 is disposed, and having a recess 32 for storing and holding at least a part of the male genital of the wearer on the surface thereof. 1a.

  Here, FIG. 1A is a plan view schematically showing one embodiment of the male urine pad of the present invention, and is a view showing a surface on the top sheet side. 1B is a cross-sectional view schematically showing an A-A ′ cross section of the male urine pad shown in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 1C is a perspective view of the male urine pad shown in FIG. 1A.

  In the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A, the “absorbent main body” includes an absorbent body 22, a top sheet 18, and a back sheet 20 as constituent elements, and the absorbent body 22 includes the top sheet 18 and the back sheet. 20 is a member that is fixed in a state of being sandwiched between 20 and integrated into a pad shape.

  The male urine pad of the present invention configured as described above (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as “urine pad”) is a male genitalia on the surface side where the top sheet is arranged on one end side of the absorbent main body. This is an extremely simple configuration in which the holding member is arranged. In addition, the urine pad is not easily displaced from the male genitalia when worn, and urine leakage can be effectively prevented. That is, since the urine pad can be worn in a state where at least a part of the male genital (for example, penis) is stored in the depression 32 of the male genital holding member 30 as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, It becomes difficult to shift, and urine leakage accompanying the shift can be effectively prevented. For example, even if the male genitalia moves while wearing the urine pad, a part of the male genitalia is housed in the depression 32 of the male genital holding member 30, so the urine pad follows the movement of the male genitalia, and the urination port It is possible to effectively avoid the problem that the detachment from the urine pad.

  The male urine pad of the present invention can be suitably used as a male urine pad for mild incontinence measures, for example, by men who live in daily life. The conventional male urine pad is large and bulky, so it is not suitable for use by men who live in daily life as a mild incontinence measure, and when using or replacing the urine pad when carrying it, The installation in a narrow private room or the like is forced to be difficult. Since the male urine pad of the present invention is difficult to be displaced by placing a part of the male genital in the depression of the male genital holding member as described above, the urine pad is assumed to be misaligned like a conventional urine pad. Therefore, it is not necessary to design the absorbent main body excessively large, the size of the absorbent main body can be reduced, and the male urine pad can be miniaturized. For this reason, it is very convenient for carrying around to the outside and the like, and can be easily attached even in a narrow private room such as a toilet. Further, when the male urine pad is worn, the depression of the male organ holding member serves as a mark at the time of wearing, and therefore it is possible to effectively prevent the wrong wearing of the male urine pad, such as the front and back, top and bottom.

  There is no particular limitation on the shape of the depression formed in the male instrument holding member of the male urine pad of the present invention along the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body, and the male instrument is in the depression. A part of the urine pad, for example, the penis can be accommodated to prevent the male urine pad from being displaced. For example, in the male urine pad shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, an example is shown in which the shape in the cross section cut along the width direction of the depression is an arc shape.

  For example, as another shape in the cross section cut along the width direction of the above-described depression, as shown in FIG. 2, a combination of two arcs or elliptical arcs having different diameters toward the bottom 33 of the depression 32 ( For example, a shape in which the mirror is turned upside down can be cited. The male urine pad 1b shown in FIG. 2 is configured such that the diameter of the arc or elliptical arc on the bottom 33 side of the recess 32 is smaller than the diameter of the arc or elliptical arc on the opening 34 side of the recess 32. Has been. For example, since the size of male genitals varies depending on individual differences, the shape shown in FIG. 2 is used to form a male genital with a relatively large wearer by an arc or elliptical arc on the opening 34 side. The male genital is fixed (accommodated) in the dent 32, and if the male genital is a relatively small wearer, the male genital is fixed (accommodated) in the dent 32 formed by an arc or elliptical arc on the bottom 33 side. be able to.

  Moreover, in the male urine pad of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1A to FIG. 1C, the depression 32 formed in the male organ holding member 30 is formed in a groove shape along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body 14. It is preferable that By comprising in this way, a penis can be arrange | positioned along the groove | channel formed of the hollow and it can make it easy to fix a male genitalia.

  In addition, as described above, when the dent is formed in a groove shape, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, the dent 32 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body 14. The male instrument holding member 30 may be divided into two at the bottom 33. By comprising in this way, the absorptive main body 14 can be folded in half along the longitudinal direction, and the male urine pad 1c can be carried and carried easily.

  Moreover, even if the male genital holding member is not divided into two as described above, the dent 32 formed in the male genital holding member 30 is, for example, like the male urine pad 1d shown in FIG. A groove 35 having a V-shaped shape in a cross section cut along the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body 14 may be further formed in the bottom portion 33 of the absorbent body 14. Along with the V-shaped groove 35, the absorbent body 14 can be folded in two along the longitudinal direction, and the male urine pad 1d can be carried compactly.

  Here, FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 are sectional views schematically showing other embodiments of the male urine pad of the present invention. 2 to 4 show a cross section similar to that shown in FIG. 1B. Moreover, in the male urine pad shown in FIGS. 2-4, what is comprised similarly to each element of the male urine pad 1a shown to FIG. 1B attaches | subjects the same code | symbol, and abbreviate | omits description.

  Moreover, the male urine pad of the present invention is preferably individually packaged so that each male urine pad can be carried and used or exchanged, for example, when going out. Thereby, it can be suitably used as a urine pad for mild incontinence by men who live in daily life.

  The packaging bag for individual packaging is not particularly limited as long as the male urine pad can be individually packaged.For example, the packaging bag body includes a sheet member and has an opening at one end thereof. A zipper opening and closing type packaging bag provided with a male fastener piece and a female fastener piece arranged to open and close the opening on the inner surface in the vicinity of one end of the packaging bag main body can be mentioned as a preferred example. .

  Such a zipper opening and closing packaging bag is easy to open, and can easily remove the male urine pad from the packaging bag, for example, when the male urine pad is replaced on the go, The replaced male urine pad can be stored in this packaging bag and taken home from the outside. For this reason, even if it is a place where the replaced male urine pad cannot be discarded, the male urine pad can be easily replaced.

  The material of the sheet member constituting the packaging bag is not particularly limited. For example, a non-woven fabric or a cross-like (paper cloth) is used so that a sound may not be heard by other people when changing in a toilet or the like. A material can be mentioned as a suitable example. Further, by forming the packaging bag body from a non-liquid-permeable material, it is possible to prevent liquid leakage when the replaced male urine pad is brought back in the packaging bag. Furthermore, it is preferable to form with a non-transparent material so that the contents cannot be seen.

  In addition, when individually packaging the male urine pad of the present invention, it is not limited to the above-described zipper opening and closing type packaging bag, for example, using a single sheet member for packaging, this sheet member The male urine pad is placed on the male urine pad, and both side edges of the sheet member projecting outward from both side edges of the male urine pad are folded back onto the male urine pad. Can be packaged by bonding on a male urine pad. About the folding | turning part of the both-sides edge part of a sheet | seat member, it can be sealed with the opening tape which has adhesiveness, for example.

  Moreover, it is preferable that the absorptive main body used for the male urine pad of this invention has a deodorizing function, for example, a thing containing a deodorizing agent. As described above, the male urine pad of the present invention is suitable for carrying, and the male urine pad currently used in the place of going out can be easily replaced with the new male urine pad carried. For example, after replacing the male urine pad, if the used male urine pad cannot be discarded on the spot, a new male urine pad will be packaged. It may be necessary to store the used male urine pad in a packaging bag that has been used and take it home. As mentioned above, if the absorbent main body contains a deodorant, the odor is eliminated by the deodorant even if the used male urine pad is temporarily carried. Can (ie take home). Further, since the odor is eliminated by the deodorant even when the male urine pad is used, the male urine pad can be used without worrying about the odor.

  When providing a deodorizing function to an absorptive main body, it can implement | achieve by making a deodorant of a powder contain in an absorptive main body, for example. Specifically, a method of mixing a deodorizing material (deodorant) such as zeolite, activated carbon, charcoal, silica gel, activated alumina, cyclodextrin, etc. with the pulp of the absorbent, or the above-mentioned decontamination to the sheet member. Examples include a method in which an odorant is carried and the sheet member is disposed on the absorbent main body. Moreover, you may provide a deodorizing function to water absorbing resin. For example, an absorptive resin composition composed of a water-absorbing resin and zeolite, a water-absorbing resin composition composed of a water-absorbing resin and antibacterial zeolite, and the like may be used.

  Moreover, the above-mentioned deodorizer may be arrange | positioned inside the packaging bag. With this configuration, when the exchanged urine pad is brought home, the odor is eliminated by the deodorant, so that the urine pad can be carried with peace of mind (ie, taken home).

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, in the male urine pad 1e of the present invention, it is preferable that the surface 30x other than the portion where the depression 32 of the male organ holding member 30 is formed is flat. By comprising in this way, the thickness of the male genital holding member 30 is reduced, and it becomes difficult to form a gap between the wearer's body and the male urine pad 1e (particularly the male genital holding member 30). The fit of the urine pad 1e can be further improved.

  Further, the absorbent main body constituting the male urine pad of the present invention has a length in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body 14 as shown in FIG. It may be larger than the length in the width direction. In the male urine pad 1f configured in this manner, the absorbent main body 14 protrudes from the side edge side of the male instrument holding member 30, so that the contact area with the body increases. It is less likely to slip in an outer such as a pants-type diaper or underwear located on the outer side, and becomes stable. Moreover, since an absorptive main body can be arrange | positioned largely, since it is easy to ensure sufficient absorption amount with respect to urine volume, it can be set as a thing which is hard to leak.

  Here, FIG.5 and FIG.6 is sectional drawing which shows typically other embodiment of the male urine pad of this invention. 2 to 4 show a cross section similar to that shown in FIG. 1B. Further, in the male urine pad shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the same components as those of the male urine pad 1 a shown in FIG. 1B are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  Further, as described above, when the length in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the absorbent main body is larger than the length in the width direction of the male organ holding member, the male urine pad 1g shown in FIG. Thus, it is preferable that the side edge portion of the absorbent main body 14 configured to be wider than the male instrument holding member 30 is folded so as to cover at least a part of the side edge of the male instrument holding member 30. By configuring in this way, the absorbent main body 14 is curved so as to form a concave space 36 on the surface side on which the top sheet 18 is disposed, so that the fitting property when the male urine pad 1g is worn is provided. It can be improved further. Moreover, since the side edge part of the absorptive main body 14 is turned back, a dam is formed in the side edge of the absorptive main body 14, and the urine leakage from the side edge side of the male urine pad 1g can be effectively prevented.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the male urine pad of the present invention has an absorbent main body 14 at the other end 26 opposite to the one end 24 where the male instrument holding member 30 is disposed. A part of the side edge portion of the absorbent main body 14 may be folded back to the surface side on which the top sheet 18 is disposed, and the folded portion may be joined (joint portion 37). Accordingly, the other end portion 26 of the absorbent main body 14 is curved so as to form a concave space 36 on the surface side on which the top sheet 18 is disposed, so that the fit when the male urine pad 1g is worn is provided. The sex can be further improved. In addition, about joining of a folding | returning part, it can join by heat seal, hot melt, an adhesive, etc., for example.

  Here, FIG. 7 is a perspective view schematically showing still another embodiment of the male urine pad of the present invention. In addition, in the male urine pad shown in FIG. 7, the same components as those of the male urine pad 1a shown in FIG.

  In the male urine pad of the present invention, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the absorbent main body 14 has the other end opposite to the one end 24 on which the male instrument holding member 30 is disposed. 26, a part of the absorbent main body 14 may be overlapped to form a concave space 36 on the surface side on which the top sheet 18 is disposed. By comprising in this way, the fitting property at the time of mounting | wearing the male urine pad 1h can be improved.

  As shown in FIG. 8, when a part of the absorbent main body 14 is overlapped, for example, a cut is made in the longitudinal direction on the other end side, and the cut portions are joined while being overlapped. Alternatively, it can be realized by putting a crease in the longitudinal direction and joining in a superposed state so that parts of the skin surfaces face each other.

  Here, FIG. 8 is a perspective view schematically showing still another embodiment of the male urine pad of the present invention. Further, in the male urine pad shown in FIG. 8, the same components as those of the male urine pad 1a shown in FIG. 1C are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  Hereafter, each component which comprises the male urine pad of this invention is demonstrated more concretely.

[1-1] Absorber:
The absorber is a member for absorbing and holding the wearer's urine. The absorber is made of an absorbent material because it needs to absorb and retain the wearer's urine and body fluid.

  Examples of the absorbent material constituting the absorber include conventionally known absorbent materials usually used for disposable diapers and other absorbent articles, such as fluff pulp, super absorbent polymer (Super Absorbent Polymer; hereinafter referred to as “SAP”). And a hydrophilic sheet. It is possible to use wood pulp or non-wood pulp defibrated as fluff pulp, sodium polyacrylate as SAP, tissue, absorbent paper, hydrophilized nonwoven fabric as hydrophilic sheet preferable. Moreover, as a countermeasure against the loss of shape of the absorbent body, synthetic fibers such as heat-sealing fibers may be included.

  These absorbent materials are usually used as a single-layer or multi-layer mat. Under the present circumstances, 1 type may be used independently among the said absorptive materials, and 2 or more types may be used together. Especially, what used together about 10-500 mass parts SAP with respect to 100 mass parts of fluff pulp is preferable. At this time, the SAP may be uniformly mixed in each mat of fluff pulp, or may be arranged in layers between the layers of the multilayer fluff pulp.

  It is preferable that the absorber is interposed at least in part between the top sheet and the back sheet. Usually, the absorber is interposed between the top sheet and the back sheet by being sandwiched between the top sheet and the back sheet and sealing the peripheral edge thereof. Therefore, the flap part in which the absorber is not interposed is formed between the top sheet and the back sheet at the peripheral part of the absorber.

  It is preferable that the absorber is entirely wrapped with a hydrophilic sheet. Such a configuration has an advantage that SAP can be prevented from leaking from the absorber and shape stability can be imparted to the absorber.

  The shape of the absorbent body is not particularly limited, but corresponds to the shape of the absorbent body so that the flap formed by the top sheet and the back sheet is formed with a uniform width on the outer edge side of the absorbent body. It is preferable.

  In addition, you may arrange | position the sheet | seat (second sheet | seat) for diffusing urine incidentally to the absorber one surface side (for example, between an absorber and a top sheet). When this second sheet is attached, even when there is a large amount of urination or when there is more urine absorbed by the absorber due to multiple urinations, the urine absorption rate is unlikely to decrease and the absorption rate It becomes possible to prevent leakage of urine due to a decrease in urine.

  Examples of the material constituting the second sheet include hydrophilic and liquid-permeable materials such as woven fabric, non-woven fabric, porous plastic, and fluff pulp. Examples of these constituent materials include polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, rayon, pulp, and composite fibers thereof. As the pulp, crimped fibers such as curly cellulose fibers can be suitably used.

[1-2] Top sheet:
A top sheet is a sheet | seat arrange | positioned so that one surface (surface located in a wearer's skin side, when a male urine pad is mounted | worn) may be coat | covered. At least a part (all or a part) of the top sheet is made of a liquid-permeable material because the absorber disposed on the back surface side needs to absorb the wearer's urine. Usually, at least near the surface of the absorber, it is made of a liquid-permeable material that can permeate the wearer's urine. As long as at least a part is made of the liquid permeable material, the entire top sheet is not necessarily made of the liquid permeable material.

  Examples of the liquid permeable material constituting the top sheet include a woven fabric, a nonwoven fabric, and a porous film. Among these, it is preferable to use a non-woven fabric made of a thermoplastic resin such as polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, or nylon and subjected to a hydrophilic treatment. There is no restriction | limiting in particular also about the kind of nonwoven fabric, The conventionally well-known nonwoven fabric manufactured by various manufacturing methods, such as air through (card hot air), card | curd embossing, and a spun bond, can be used suitably. The top sheet may be composed of a single sheet material, but may be composed of a plurality of sheet materials.

[1-3] Back sheet:
The back sheet is a sheet that is disposed so as to cover the other surface of the absorbent body (the surface that is located on the clothing side of the wearer when the male urine pad is worn). The back sheet is made of a liquid-impermeable material because it is necessary to prevent the wearer's urine from leaking outside the male urine pad.

  Examples of the liquid-impermeable material constituting the backsheet include a liquid-impermeable film made of a resin such as polyethylene. Among these, a microporous polyethylene film is preferably used. This microporous polyethylene film has a large number of fine pores of 0.1 to several μm, and is liquid impermeable but moisture permeable. There is an advantage that can be.

  Moreover, what consists of a film (for example, cross-like film) which stuck the nonwoven fabric on the liquid-impermeable film can also be used suitably for a backsheet, for example. By using a film made of such a material as a back sheet, even if the end of the male urine pad is turned over, the skin trouble of the wearer can be effectively prevented. The absorptive main body may have an adhesive portion disposed on the surface side where the backsheet is disposed. This bonding portion is for detachably bonding and fixing the male urine pad to clothes and diapers. By disposing such an adhesive portion, it is possible to prevent the position of the male urine pad from being displaced after mounting. Examples of the mounting portion include an adhesive tape, a mechanical fastener, and a hot melt.

[1-4] Absorbent body:
In the male urine pad of the present invention, the top sheet, the back sheet, and the absorbent body are configured as a single member called an “absorbent body” that functions to absorb and retain.

  This absorbent body has a top sheet on one surface of the absorbent body (the surface located on the skin side of the wearer when the male urine pad is attached), and the other surface (when the male urine pad is attached). In addition, a back sheet is disposed on the side of the wearer's clothing side, and an absorber is interposed between the top sheet and the back sheet.

  In addition, when the male urine pad of the present invention is used for a mild incontinence person (male wearer) who conducts daily life, the male urine pad does not require a large amount of absorption, and therefore, underwear due to mild incontinence. As long as it has an amount of absorption that does not contaminate the male urine pad, the male urine pad may cover the male genital area without covering the entire male genital area, .

  The shape of the absorbent main body may be rectangular, but an inverted triangle, T-shape, semicircular shape, semielliptical shape or the like is preferable because the crotch side becomes thinner and the wearing feeling is improved.

[1-5] Male genital holding member:
The male instrument holding member is formed with a depression formed on the surface for storing and holding at least part of the wearer's male instrument, and a top sheet is disposed on one end side of the absorbent main body. The urine pad can be worn in a state where it is arranged on the surface side and at least a part of the male genitalia (for example, penis) is housed in the depression. Thereby, since the urine pad follows the movement of the male genitalia, it is possible to effectively avoid the problem that the urination port is detached from the urine pad. In addition, the one end part side of the absorptive main body by which this male instrument holding member is arrange | positioned turns into a body upper side at the time of wear.

  The male genital holding member has a predetermined thickness because the dent for housing the male genital (for example, penis) is formed. Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular about the thickness of a male instrument holding member, For example, it is preferable that it has a thickness of 10-50 mm so that a penis can be accommodated and hold | maintained in the said hollow, 20-40 mm It is preferable to have a thickness. For example, if the thickness of the male genital holding member is less than 10 mm, it may not be possible to form a recess having a depth sufficient to accommodate the male genital, while if the male genital holding member exceeds 50 mm, It becomes too thick, and it becomes easy to make a gap between the absorbent main body and the wearer, and urine leakage from the male urine pad is likely to occur. is there.

  The back surface side of the male instrument holding member (the surface side opposite to the surface on which the depression is formed) is joined to the top sheet of the absorbent main body. Although the back side of the male instrument holding member may be formed flat, for example, as shown in FIG. 1B, it is formed by a curved surface that is curved so that the central part in the width direction on the back side of the male instrument holding member 30 protrudes. May be. By configuring in this way, the absorbent main body 14 is curved so as to form a concave space on the surface side on which the top sheet 18 is disposed, along the shape of the back surface side of the male instrument holding member 30. The fit when the male urine pad 1a is worn can be further improved.

  Moreover, as shown to FIG. 1A, it is preferable that the length L1 in the longitudinal direction of the absorptive main body 14 of the male instrument holding member 30 is 10-50 mm. By comprising in this way, a male genitalia can be hold | maintained correctly and the urination from the front-end | tip of a male genital can be reliably performed on an absorptive main body. If the length L1 of the male genital holding member 30 is less than 10 mm, the portion holding the male genital is too short and the degree of freedom of the male genital tip is increased. In some cases, it cannot be positioned on the main body, and when it exceeds 50 mm, the male instrument holding member is very bulky, which may result in a poor wearing feeling.

  The male instrument holding member can be formed of a material such as felt, urethane foam, polystyrene foam, air laid nonwoven fabric, resin such as polyethylene resin, and the like.

  Further, the depth of the depression formed in the male organ holding member should be deep enough that the male urine pad does not move by pressing the penis against the depression when the male urine pad is attached. For example, there is no particular limitation, but the depth of the recess is preferably 10 to 40 mm, and more preferably 15 to 30 mm.

  Moreover, the thickness of the male instrument holding member may be different in the crotch direction. For example, when the male holding member is inclined so as to be thinned toward the crotch direction while holding the depth of the depression of the male genital holding part, the entire male urine pad can be thinned toward the crotch direction. Therefore, a feeling of wearing is good and it is difficult to resonate with outerwear such as underwear.

  In addition, several types of male urine pads having different sizes of the absorbent main body and different depths of the depressions may be produced so that the wearer (user) can select them. For example, urine pads for men of several sizes such as L size, M size, and S size are prepared, and the size can be selected according to the wearer's body shape, the place where the urine pad is used, and the like. May be.

[2] Manufacturing method of male urine pad:
Hereinafter, an example of the method for producing the male urine pad of the present invention will be described with reference to an example of producing the male urine pad 1a shown in FIG. 1A.

  First, the absorbent body 22 having a predetermined shape wrapped in a hydrophilic sheet is disposed on the upper surface of the back sheet 20, and the top sheet 18 is disposed on the upper surface thereof. Next, the peripheral portion of the absorbent body 22 is sealed so as to be sandwiched between the top sheet 18 and the back sheet 20 to obtain the sheet-like absorbent main body 14.

  Separately from the absorptive main body 14 described above, a male instrument holding member 30 having a recess 32 for storing and holding at least a part of the wearer's male instrument on the surface thereof is prepared. Such a male instrument holding member 30 can be formed by making a recess in the middle of a block of urethane foam and cutting it in the longitudinal direction.

  Next, the obtained male container holding member 30 is arranged on the surface side where the top sheet 18 is arranged on one end side of the absorbent main body 14, and is used for men as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C. The urine pad 1a is produced. In addition, joining with the male instrument holding member 30 and the absorptive main body 14 can be performed by a hot melt and an adhesive, for example.

  The male urine pad of the present invention can be used as a male urine pad for incontinence measures. In particular, men who live daily can be suitably used as a portable male urine pad as a measure for mild incontinence.
