Is done. Further, by emphasizing both ends of the element central portion 444 by the bent portions 446 of the waistline elastic element 441e, it is possible to more easily check and correct the position of the auxiliary absorbent 9 in the left-right direction. In this way, by using part of the waistline elastic member 44 as a mark, the manufacturing of the disposable diaper 1 is simplified compared to the case where a mark is provided separately from the waistline elastic member 44, and the manufacturing cost of the disposable diaper 1 is reduced. Can be reduced. Further, since the color of the waistline elastic element 441 e is similar to the color of the back sheet 93 of the auxiliary absorbent 9, any of the waistline elastic elements is the positioning of the auxiliary absorbent 9. It can be easily understood intuitively whether it is the standard of As a result, it is possible to more easily check and correct the positions of the upper end portions 91 and 92 of the auxiliary absorbent 9.

  10 and 11 are a front view and a rear view of the disposable diaper 1 in which another auxiliary absorbent 9a having a different size from the auxiliary absorbent 9 shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 is mounted on the inside. FIGS. 12 and 13 are a front view and a rear view of the disposable diaper 1 in which another auxiliary absorbent 9b having a different size from the auxiliary absorbents 9 and 9a is mounted on the inside. The length and width of the auxiliary absorbent 9a in the longitudinal direction are larger than the length and width of the auxiliary absorbent 9, respectively, and the length and width of the auxiliary absorbent 9b are respectively the length of the auxiliary absorbent 9a. And greater than the width. As with the auxiliary absorbent 9, the auxiliary absorbents 9 a and 9 b are visible from the outside of the exterior sheet 4 through the trunk periphery 47 of the disposable diaper 1.

  The color of the back sheet 93 of the auxiliary absorbent 9a shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 is a light blue fluorescent color, which is similar to the blue waistline elastic element 441d. The waist elastic element 441d is used as a mark for positioning the auxiliary absorbent 9a after the auxiliary absorbent 9a and the disposable diaper 1 are attached to the wearer. Specifically, similarly to the positioning of the auxiliary absorbent 9, the upper edges 911 and 921 of the upper ends 91 and 92 of the auxiliary absorbent 9 a are disposed between the element central portions 444 of the two waist elastic elements 441 d. The upper ends 91 and 921 are arranged such that both ends of the upper edges 911 and 921 overlap the pair of bent portions 446 of the waistline elastic element 441d. Thereby, positioning in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper end parts 91 and 92 of the auxiliary absorber 9a is performed.

  As described above, the waist elastic element 441d serves as a mark used for positioning in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper end portions 91 and 92 of the auxiliary absorbent 9a. By confirming the relative positions of the edges 911 and 921, after wearing the disposable diaper 1, the position of the auxiliary absorbent 9 a in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction can be easily determined from the outside of the exterior sheet 4 through the waistline portion 47.

  The color of the back sheet 93 of the auxiliary absorbent 9b shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is a green fluorescent color, which is the same color as the green waist elastic element 441b. The waist elastic element 441b is used as a mark for positioning the auxiliary absorbent 9b after the auxiliary absorbent 9b and the disposable diaper 1 are attached to the wearer. Specifically, similarly to the positioning of the auxiliary absorbent 9, the upper edges 911 and 921 of the upper ends 91 and 92 of the auxiliary absorbent 9 b are disposed between the element central portions 444 of the two waist elastic elements 441 b. The upper ends 91 and 92 are arranged such that both ends of the upper edges 911 and 921 overlap with both ends of the element central portion 444 of the waistline elastic element 441b or the pair of bent portions 446. Thereby, positioning in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper end parts 91 and 92 of the auxiliary absorber 9b is performed.

  Thus, since the waist elastic element 441b serves as a mark used for positioning in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper ends 91, 92 of the auxiliary absorbent 9b, By confirming the relative positions of the edges 911 and 921, after wearing the disposable diaper 1, the position of the auxiliary absorbent 9b in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction can be easily determined from the outside of the exterior sheet 4 via the waistline portion 47. Can be confirmed. Moreover, the position in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper end parts 91 and 92 of the auxiliary | assistant absorber 9b can be easily corrected as needed.

  As described above, in the disposable diaper 1, the plurality of auxiliary absorbent tools 9, 9 a, 9 b having different sizes are used for positioning the upper end portions 91, 92 of each auxiliary absorbent tool in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction. The first waistline elastic elements 441e, 441d, 441b, which are marks, are provided on the waistline portion 47, and the colors of the first waistline elastic elements 441e, 441d, 441b are different from each other. Thereby, the auxiliary | assistant absorbers 9, 9a, 9b of a some size can each be positioned easily. In addition, since the colors of the first waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, and 441e are similar to the colors of the back sheets 93 of the corresponding auxiliary absorbers 9b, 9a, and 9 respectively, the plurality of first waistline elastic elements Of these, it can be easily understood intuitively which elastic element around the first waist is the reference for positioning the auxiliary absorbent.

  In the disposable diaper 1, the first waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e are thicker elastic threads than the second waistline elastic elements 441a, 441c that are not used for positioning of the auxiliary absorbent. For this reason, the 1st trunk periphery elastic elements 441b, 441d, and 441e which are marks can be made conspicuous. Further, since the colors of the second waistline elastic elements 441a and 441c are similar to the color of the exterior sheet main body 40, the first waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, and 441e can be made more conspicuous.

  In the disposable diaper 1, only one of the first waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e of the front part 401 and the rear part 403 may be a mark used for positioning of the auxiliary absorbent. Thereby, on the side (front side or rear side) where the mark is provided, after wearing the disposable diaper 1, the position of the upper end portion of the auxiliary absorbent tool in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction is arranged via the waistline portion 47. Can be easily confirmed from the outside and corrected if necessary. However, in both the front part 401 and the rear part 403, the first waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e are used as the above-mentioned marks, so that the longitudinal directions of the front and rear upper end parts 91, 92 of the auxiliary absorbent device And the position in the left-right direction can be easily confirmed and adjusted. For this reason, it is preferable that the said mark is provided in both the front part 401 and the back part 403.

Further, in the first waist elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e, the pair of inclined portions 443 and the element central portion 444 are cut at a number of locations in the extending direction (so-called dot cut), and the contraction force is substantially reduced. In particular, it may be a broken line-like broken portion that is visible from the outside of the exterior sheet 4. In this way, the pair of inclined portions 443 and the element central portion 444 are made to be broken portions, whereby differences from the other portions of the waistline elastic elements 441a to 441e are emphasized, and the pair of inclined portions 443 and the element central portion are emphasized. 444 can be more prominent.

  In the disposable diaper 1, as shown in FIG. 14, the first waistline elastic elements 441 b, 441 d, and 441 e are linear shapes extending substantially parallel to the waistline direction over the entire circumference of the waistline portion 47. The center part in the left-right direction of the waist elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e may be a broken part 447 that is dot-cut. When the auxiliary absorbent 9c is positioned, the upper edge 911 of the upper end 91 of the auxiliary absorbent 9c is disposed between the broken portions 447 of the two waist elastic elements 441e, The upper end portion 91 is disposed so that both ends of the upper end overlap the left and right ends of the breaking portion 447. Thus, since the 1st trunk periphery elastic element 441e becomes a mark used for positioning in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper end part 91 of the auxiliary absorbent 9c, the disposable diaper 1 of the disposable diaper 1 is similar to the above embodiment. After wearing, the position of the auxiliary absorbent 9c in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction can be easily confirmed and can be easily corrected as necessary (the same applies to the first waistline elastic elements 441b and 441d).

  In the disposable diaper 1, as shown in FIG. 15, the first waistline elastic elements 441 b, 441 d, and 441 e are linear shapes extending substantially parallel to the waistline direction over the entire circumference of the waistline portion 47. The waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, and 441e may be provided with a break portion 448 by a pair of left and right dot cuts. The pair of breaking portions 448 are arranged symmetrically, and the auxiliary absorbent 9c is positioned so that both ends of the upper edge 911 of the upper end portion 91 overlap with the pair of breaking portions 448 of the first waistline elastic element 441e. Is done. In this way, the first waistline elastic element 441e serves as a mark used for positioning in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction of the upper end 91 of the auxiliary absorbent 9c, so that the disposable diaper 1 is similar to the case of FIG. After wearing, the position of the auxiliary absorbent 9c in the longitudinal direction and the left-right direction can be easily confirmed and can be easily corrected as necessary (the same applies to the first waistline elastic elements 441b and 441d).

  If the position in the left-right direction of the auxiliary absorbent can be accurately positioned inside the disposable diaper 1 without using a mark, the first waistline elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e are provided on the waistline portion 47. It may be a straight line extending substantially parallel to the trunk circumference direction without having a bent part or a broken part over the entire circumference. Even in this case, the position of the upper end portion of the auxiliary absorbent member in the longitudinal direction can be easily confirmed and adjusted by using the first waist elastic element as a positioning mark.

  The waistline elastic member 44 does not necessarily need to be provided over the entire circumference of the waistline portion 47 in the waistline direction, and may be joined to at least a part of the waistline portion 47 along the waistline direction. For example, only the element central portion 444 of the element side portions 442, the inclined portion 443, and the element central portion 444 of the first waist elastic elements 441b, 441d, 441e may be provided in the waist portion 47. In this case, figures such as circles and rectangles may be provided by inkjet printing or the like on both sides in the left-right direction of the element central part 444 as end part emphasizing parts that emphasize the positions of both ends of the element central part 444. In the waist elastic member 44, any waist elastic element may be used as a mark for positioning the auxiliary absorbent.

  In the disposable diaper 1, it is not always necessary to use the waist elastic member 44 as a mark for positioning the end portion of the auxiliary absorbent in the longitudinal direction. For example, the mark is formed on the outer surface of the exterior sheet main body 40 by inkjet printing or the like. May be provided. Further, a colored hot-melt adhesive different from the exterior sheet main body 40 is applied in a linear or belt shape between the first exterior sheet 41 and the end sheet 5, or a colored belt-like nonwoven fabric or the like is joined, A hot melt adhesive or a colored member may be used as a mark.

  In the exterior sheet 4, the upper end 421 of the second exterior sheet 42 may substantially coincide with the upper end 411 of the first exterior sheet 41, and the end sheet 5 may be joined to the inner surface of the second exterior sheet 42. In this case, the waistline elastic member 44 is joined between the first exterior sheet 41 and the second exterior sheet 42 or between the second exterior sheet 42 and the end sheet 5.
