Represents how the pleats are unfolded.

  The male incontinence pad package of the present invention is a male incontinence pad covered with a covering sheet. The male incontinence pad is used by being addressed to the male genitalia, and urine leakage due to incontinence can be prevented by wearing the male incontinence pad.

  The male incontinence pad is preferably formed in a planar shape before use and can be formed in a cup shape during use. With such a male incontinence pad, the male incontinence pad is compactly formed before use and can be easily stored and carried. During use, male genitals can be suitably accommodated and urine from incontinence is favorably received. Will be able to.

  The male incontinence pad is formed, for example, by joining a part of planar sheet members in an arc shape, or by providing pleats on the planar sheet member. In the former case, the sheet members can be formed in a cup shape so that the edge of the non-joined portion of the sheet member becomes a cup-shaped opening edge by spreading the sheet members at the non-joined portion. In the latter case, it can be formed in a cup shape by unfolding the pleats. Further, the male incontinence pad may be one that can be formed in a flat shape by appropriately folding a sheet member formed in a cup shape. As will be described in detail below, the male incontinence pad used in the present invention preferably has pleats, and when the male incontinence pad is taken out of the male incontinence pad package, the pleats are naturally It is preferable that it is comprised so that it may expand | deploy.

  Below, the structural example of the male incontinence pad which has a pleat is demonstrated with reference to drawings. The male incontinence pad used in the present invention is not limited to the embodiment shown in the drawings.

  1 to 4 show an example of the male incontinence pad of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows a plan view of the male incontinence pad as seen from the outer surface side, FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the male incontinence pad shown in FIG. 1 as seen from the skin side, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a male incontinence pad formed in a cup shape when viewed from the outer surface side. In the drawings of the present invention, the arrow x represents the width direction, the arrow y represents the longitudinal direction, and the direction perpendicular to the surface formed by the arrows x and y represents the thickness direction z.

  The male incontinence pad 1 has a longitudinal direction y and a width direction x. When the male incontinence pad 1 is worn, the male incontinence pad 1 may be worn with the longitudinal direction y aligned with the longitudinal direction (vertical direction) of the wearer's crotch and with the width direction x aligned with the lateral direction of the wearer. preferable.

  The male incontinence pad 1 also has a skin surface side and an outer surface side with respect to the thickness direction z. The skin side means the side facing the wearer's skin when wearing the male incontinence pad, and the outer side means the side facing away from the wearer.

  The male incontinence pad 1 has at least an outer member 2 as a constituent member. The outer member 2 constitutes the main body of the male incontinence pad 1, and a male genitalia is accommodated by the outer member 2 when the male incontinence pad 1 is used.

  The outer member may be hydrophilic or liquid impermeable. The outer member may be composed of one layer or may be composed of a plurality of layers. For example, the outer member may have a hydrophilic layer on the skin surface side. In this case, urine excreted from the wearer is absorbed by the hydrophilic layer of the outer member. Further, the outer member may have a liquid impermeable layer on the outer surface side, and in this case, the urine is prevented from leaking to the outside by the liquid impermeable layer of the outer member. The outer member may contain an absorbent material. Preferably, the outer member is a laminate having a hydrophilic layer on the skin surface side and a liquid-impermeable layer on the outer surface side, or is composed of only a liquid-impermeable layer. In at least the latter case, it is preferable that an absorber for absorbing urine is provided on the skin surface side of the outer member. 1 to 4, the absorber 10 is provided on the skin surface side of the outer member 2.

  The outer member 2 preferably has a pleat portion 3 in which a mountain fold 4 and a valley fold 5 are formed by being folded in the longitudinal direction y. The male incontinence pad 1 has an outer member 2 formed in a planar shape before use as shown in FIGS. That is, the pleat part 3 of the outer member 2 is formed in a folded state. In use, the male incontinence pad 1 is preferably used by developing the pleat portion 3 of the outer member 2 and forming the outer member 2 in a cup shape as shown in FIG. That is, it is preferable that the male incontinence pad 1 is worn by housing a male genitalia inside a cup shape. The cup shape means a shape that swells on one side, and for example, the cup-shaped openings need not be formed on the same plane.

  The pleat part 3 of the outer member 2 is preferably fixed at both ends in the width direction x. Specifically, the outer member 2 is preferably joined at both ends in the width direction x on both sides of the mountain fold 4 and both sides of the valley fold 5. If the pleat portion 3 is formed in this way, when the fold of the pleat portion 3 is unfolded, the outer member 2 can be easily formed in a cup shape as shown in FIG. Both ends of the pleat portion 3 in the width direction x may be fixed (joined) by a known joining means such as an adhesive, heat fusion, ultrasonic fusion or the like.

  In the present invention, the mountain fold 4 and the valley fold 5 are determined from the outer surface side of the outer member 2. In addition, the pleat portion 3 is a state in which the outer member 2 is formed in a flat shape as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and the outer member 2 is folded and overlapped from the mountain fold 4 to the valley fold. It means the part that reaches 5 and the part that overlaps it.

  In FIG. 1, two pleat portions 3 are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction y. Each pleat portion 3 is formed by folding the outer member 2 in the longitudinal direction y. At this time, each pleat portion 3 is formed by being folded at a mountain fold 4 and a valley fold 5 formed at least one by one.

  The extending direction of the mountain fold 4 and the valley fold 5 is not particularly limited as long as they are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction y. Preferably, the mountain fold 4 and the valley fold 5 are formed substantially parallel to the width direction x. The Moreover, it is preferable that the same number of mountain folds 4 and valley folds 5 are formed. When a plurality of mountain folds 4 and valley folds 5 are formed, the mountain folds 4 and the valley folds 5 are alternately formed. It is preferable.

  In order for the outer member 2 to be formed in a cup shape that can accommodate male genitalia, as shown in FIG. 1, pleat portions 3 are provided on both sides in the longitudinal direction y of the outer member 2. Preferably it is. Thus, by providing the pleat part 3, it becomes easy to accommodate both a penis and a scrotum suitably.

  Each pleat portion 3 is preferably formed such that a mountain fold 4 is first provided on the center side in the longitudinal direction y. Specifically, in a state where the pleat portions 3 are unfolded, it is preferable that each pleat portion 3 is first formed with a mountain fold 4 on the center side in the longitudinal direction y. In FIG. 1, a mountain fold 4 is first provided on the center side in the longitudinal direction y, and then a valley fold 5 is provided outward in the longitudinal direction y. If the pleat portion 3 is formed in this way, when the male incontinence pad 1 is accommodated in the male genitalia and is fixed to the inside of the pants, the folds of the pleat portion 3 are not easily seen when viewed from the outside of the pants. The psychological burden of wearing the incontinence pad 1 is reduced.

  An adhesive portion 7 is provided on the outer surface side of the male incontinence pad 1. In FIG. 1, an adhesive portion 7 is provided on the outer surface side of the outer member 2. The adhesive portions 7 are provided on both sides of the male incontinence pad 1 in the longitudinal direction y. If the adhesion part 7 is provided in the male incontinence pad 1, the male incontinence pad 1 can be suitably fixed inside the wearer's pants. As will be described later, the adhesive portion 7 is detachably joined to the first or second covering sheet before use of the male incontinence pad 1, that is, in the state of the male incontinence pad package. The adhesive portion 7 may be formed by applying an adhesive to the outer member 2 or attaching an adhesive tape. Preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, the adhesive part 7 is provided outside the pleat part 3 in the longitudinal direction y. Specifically, the pleat part 3 is positioned between the second fold and the adhesive part 7 described later. Thus, the adhesive portion 7 is provided.

  The shape of the outer member 2 (the shape when the pleat portion 3 is folded) is not particularly limited. The shape of the outer member 2 may be a quadrangular shape with rounded corners as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and may be a circle, an ellipse, an arbitrary polygon (including a polygon with rounded corners), etc. It may be. In addition, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, if the outer member 2 is formed so that the length of the width direction x may decrease gradually toward the outward of the longitudinal direction y, the male incontinence pad 1 will be a wearer. It becomes easy to fit compactly between the crotch. The outer member 2 is preferably formed symmetrically in the width direction x (that is, with respect to the center line extending in the longitudinal direction y), and the outer member 2 is further formed in the longitudinal direction y (that is, in the width direction x). It is also preferred that the line is symmetrical (with respect to the extending center line).

  As a material constituting the outer member, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a plastic film, a laminate of these, and the like can be used. When a cloth material such as a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a knitted fabric is used as the material of the outer member, examples of the fibers constituting the fabric material include polyolefin (for example, polypropylene, polyethylene), polyester (for example, PET), polyamide (for example, , Nylon) and the like, regenerated fibers such as rayon, and natural fibers such as cellulose and cotton may be used. When a nonwoven fabric is used as the material for the outer member, the nonwoven fabric is preferably manufactured by a spunbond method, an air-through method, a point bond method, a melt blow method, an airlaid method, a combination of these methods, or the like. Moreover, you may use the nonwoven fabric manufactured by SMS method which combined the spun bond method and the melt blow method. When a plastic film is used as the material of the outer member, for example, a synthetic resin such as polyolefin (eg, polypropylene, polyethylene), polyester (eg, PET), polyamide (eg, nylon) may be used.

  The outer member may be water-decomposable. Water decomposability means the property that the original form is lost by dispersion or dissolution when flushed with water in a flush toilet or the like. Therefore, if the outer member is water disintegratable, the outer member can be discarded by flowing it into a normal flush toilet or the like.

  In order for the outer member to have water decomposability, the outer member is preferably made of a water decomposable material. Examples of water-degradable materials include wood pulp fibers, non-wood plant fibers, rayon fibers, and polyester fibers. Furthermore, water-soluble binders such as starch, polyacrylic acid aqueous solution, polyethylene oxide, alkyl cellulose, and hydroxyalkyl cellulose may be added to the water-degradable material.

  The outer member may be biodegradable. Biodegradable means degradable by a living organism such as a microorganism. If the outer member is biodegradable, when the outer member is poured into a flush toilet and discarded, activated sludge treatment is performed at a sewage treatment plant or the like, and the outer member can be suitably decomposed into carbon dioxide, sludge, etc. .

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the male incontinence pad 1 is preferably provided with an absorbent body 10 on the skin surface side of the outer member 2. If the male incontinence pad 1 is provided with the absorber 10, urine excreted from the wearer can be suitably absorbed. When the outer member 2 is formed in a cup shape when the male incontinence pad 1 is used, the absorbent body 10 can be housed inside the outer member 2 formed in a cup shape as shown in FIG. preferable.

  1 to 3, the absorber 10 is fixed to the outer member 2 by a fixing portion 6. That is, the absorbent body 10 is fixed to the outer member 2 before using the male incontinence pad 1. The absorber 10 should just be fixed to the outer member 2 by fixing means, such as an adhesive agent.

  The fixing portion 6 is preferably provided at a place other than the pleated portion 3. Therefore, it is preferable that the absorbent body 10 is fixed to a portion other than the pleat portion 3 of the outer member 2 and is not fixed to the pleat portion 3. Furthermore, it is preferable that the absorbent body 10 is not fixed to the outer member 2 across the pleat portion 3. Thus, if the absorber 10 is provided in the outer member 2, when the male incontinence pad 1 is worn, the pleat portion 3 can be easily folded.

  The fixing portion 6 is preferably provided in the vicinity of the center in the longitudinal direction y of the outer member 2. The outer member 2 is preferably provided with pleat portions 3 on both sides of the fixing portion 6 in the longitudinal direction y. If the male incontinence pad 1 is formed as described above, the folding of the pleat portion 3 of the outer member 2 is expanded to form the male incontinence pad 1 in a cup shape in which the absorbent body 10 is housed. It becomes easy to do.

  Although not shown in the drawing, the absorber 10 may not be fixed to the outer member 2. For example, before using the male incontinence pad 1, that is, in the male incontinence pad package in which the male incontinence pad 1 is covered with a covering sheet, the absorbent body 10 may be simply stacked without being fixed to the outer member 2. Good. Moreover, the absorber 10 may be formed so that attachment or detachment with respect to the outer member 2 is possible.

  The shape of the absorber 10 is not particularly limited. Examples of the shape of the absorber 10 include a circle, an ellipse, a polygon (including a polygon with rounded corners), an hourglass shape, and the like. Preferably, the absorber 10 is formed in line symmetry in the width direction x (that is, with respect to a center line extending in the longitudinal direction y). Furthermore, the absorbent body 10 is also preferably formed symmetrically in the longitudinal direction y (that is, with respect to the center line extending in the width direction x).

  It is preferable that the absorber 10 is formed with respect to the outer member 2 as follows. That is, the absorbent body 10 is formed in a state where the pleat portion 3 of the outer member 2 is folded and is formed to be longer than or longer than the outer member 2 in the longitudinal direction y, and the pleat portion 3 of the outer member 2 is unfolded. Thus, it is preferable that the length is shorter than the outer member 2 in the longitudinal direction y. In addition, the state where the pleat part 3 is folded means that the pleat part 3 is folded when there are a plurality of pleat parts 3, and the state where the pleat part 3 is unfolded means that all the pleat parts are unfolded. Means expanded state. The length in the longitudinal direction y of the outer member 2 in a state where the pleat portion 3 is unfolded is measured in a state in which the joints at both ends in the width direction x of the pleat portion 3 are released. If the absorber 10 is formed in such a relationship with respect to the outer member 2, the absorber 10 will be easily hold | maintained suitably inside the outer member 2 formed in the cup shape. Moreover, the magnitude | size of the absorber 10 is fully ensured, and the urine excreted from the wearer by the absorber 10 comes to be absorbed suitably. The absorber 10 is preferably formed to be the same as or shorter than the outer member 2 in the width direction x.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the absorbent body 10 is preferably formed with a notch 11 at an edge in the longitudinal direction y. More preferably, the notch 11 is formed at both end edges in the longitudinal direction y of the absorbent body 10. If the notch 11 is formed in the edge of the longitudinal direction y of the absorber 10, it will become easy to form the absorber 10 in cup shape. That is, it becomes easy to form the absorber 10 along the skin side surface of the outer member 2 formed in a cup shape by bending the absorber 10 in the width direction x. Therefore, the absorber 10 can be suitably stored inside the outer member 2.

  As for the shape of the notch 11, the notch 11 is preferably formed in a substantially V shape. That is, the notch 11 is preferably formed such that the length in the width direction x gradually decreases inwardly from the edge in the longitudinal direction y of the absorbent body 10.

  It is also preferable that the absorber 10 has a notch 12 formed at the edge in the width direction x. More preferably, the notches 12 are formed at both end edges in the width direction x of the absorbent body 10. If the notch 12 is formed at the edge of the absorbent body 10 in the width direction x, the absorbent body 10 can be easily bent in the longitudinal direction y. Therefore, the fit of the absorbent body 10 to the male genital is improved, and the male genital is suitably covered by the absorbent body 10. As a result, the absorber 10 can receive the urine excreted from the wearer more reliably.

  As for the shape of the notch 12, the notch 12 is preferably formed in a substantially V shape. That is, the notch 12 is preferably formed so that the length in the longitudinal direction y gradually decreases inwardly from the edge in the width direction x of the absorbent body 10.

  The absorber only needs to be made of a material that can absorb urine. As the absorber, for example, (i) an absorbent material covered with a sheet member, (ii) a sheet-shaped absorbent material formed in a desired shape, or the like can be used. As the absorbent material, in the case of (i), hydrophilic fibers such as pulverized pulp fiber and cellulose fiber; water-absorbing resin such as polyacrylic acid-based, polyaspartic acid-based, cellulose-based, starch / acrylonitrile-based, etc. In the case of (ii), for example, a foamed polymer; a non-woven fabric with high liquid retention such as a chemical bond nonwoven fabric, an airlaid nonwoven fabric, an air-through nonwoven fabric, and a spunlace nonwoven fabric can be used. In the case of (i), at least a part of the sheet member is liquid permeable, and paper (for example, tissue paper or thin paper), a hydrophilic nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used as the liquid permeable sheet member. The liquid permeable sheet member may be provided on the skin surface side of the absorber and may also be provided on the outer surface side of the absorber. Further, a liquid-impermeable sheet member such as a liquid-impermeable nonwoven fabric or a plastic film may be provided on the outer surface side of the absorber. Also in the case of (ii), the sheet-like absorbent material may be covered with a sheet member.

  The absorbent body may have a sheet-like absorbent body having a water-absorbing resin between the nonwoven fabrics and not having pulp fibers. Since the sheet-like absorbent body has a water-absorbing resin between the nonwoven fabrics, a high absorption capacity can be realized. Moreover, since a sheet-like absorber does not have pulp fibers between nonwoven fabrics, it can be formed thin without being bulky and can be formed flexibly.

  The nonwoven fabric used for the sheet-like absorber is liquid-permeable, and examples of such nonwoven fabric include hydrophilic fibers such as cellulose, rayon, and cotton; polyolefin (for example, polypropylene, polyethylene), polyester (for example, PET) Hydrophobic fibers such as polyamide (for example, nylon) made hydrophilic with a surfactant may be used. As the nonwoven fabric used for the sheet-like absorbent body, a relatively thin and highly flexible nonwoven fabric is preferable. For example, a spunbond nonwoven fabric, a point bond nonwoven fabric, a melt blown nonwoven fabric, an airlaid nonwoven fabric, or an SMS nonwoven fabric is preferably used.

  Next, the male incontinence pad package will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c) show an example of a method for forming a male incontinence pad package, and FIG. 6 shows a part of the longitudinal cross section of the male incontinence pad package shown in FIG. 5 (c). Represents the bonding state between the male incontinence pad and the first covering sheet.

  The male incontinence pad package 31 is formed by the method shown in FIGS. That is, the male incontinence pad 1 is covered with the first covering sheet 21 on the outer surface side of one end in the longitudinal direction y, and covered with the second covering sheet 22 on the outer surface side of the other end. In the state covered with the covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22, it is folded back at the first fold line 23 extending in the longitudinal direction y so that the skin surface side is inside (see FIG. 5A), and further in the width direction x. It is folded at the extending second fold line 24 (see FIG. 5B), thereby forming the male incontinence pad package 31 (see FIG. 5C). That is, in the male incontinence pad package 31, the male incontinence pad 1 is folded in four, and the end in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1 is covered with the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22. It is formed. In the male incontinence pad package 31, the first covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22 are joined to each other with the male incontinence pad 1 folded into four, whereby the male incontinence pad 1 is used before use. The four-folded state is maintained.

  The first covering sheet 21 covers at least one end edge in the longitudinal direction y on the outer surface side of the male incontinence pad 1, and extends from the one end edge in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1 to the second fold line 24. It covers part or all of the entire area. However, the first cover sheet 21 is not provided beyond the second fold line 24. The second covering sheet 22 covers at least the other edge in the longitudinal direction y on the outer surface side of the male incontinence pad 1, and extends from the other edge in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1 to the second fold line 24. It covers part or all of the entire area. However, the second covering sheet 22 is not provided beyond the second fold line 24. Therefore, the male incontinence pad packaging 31 is exposed without the second fold 24 being covered by the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22.

  In the male incontinence pad package 31, the male incontinence pad 1 is folded in four, and the second fold 24 of the male incontinence pad 1 is exposed without being covered with the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22. Accordingly, the vicinity of the second fold 24 of the male incontinence pad 1 is grasped by one hand, the first covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22 are grasped by the other hand, and the male incontinence pad packaging 31 is elongated. By pulling in the direction y, the male incontinence pad 1 can be easily taken out from the male incontinence pad package 31. At this time, the male incontinence pad 1 is pulled in the longitudinal direction y by grasping the male incontinence pad 1 with one hand so that a finger is placed on the inner side of the second crease 24, and the male incontinence pad 1 is removed from the male incontinence pad 1. The first and second cover sheets 21 and 22 can be easily peeled off. Further, when the male incontinence pad 1 is taken out from the male incontinence pad package 31, the vicinity of the second fold line 24 of the male incontinence pad 1 is not passed through the first or second covering sheets 21 and 22 with one hand. Since the male incontinence pad 1 is taken out from the male incontinence pad package 31 as compared with the case where the male incontinence pad 1 is entirely wrapped by the covering sheet, the male incontinence pad 1 is mistaken. It is also difficult to drop it from your hand.

  In the male incontinence pad package 31, the male incontinence pad 1 is folded back at the first fold 23 so that the skin surface side is inward. Thus, when the male incontinence pad 1 is folded at the first fold 23, when the male incontinence pad 1 is used, the male incontinence pad 1 is placed with the skin side facing inward using the first fold 23. It becomes easy to form in the cup shape.

  The first fold line 23 preferably coincides with the center line in the width direction x of the male incontinence pad 1. If the first fold 23 is provided in this way, the folded male incontinence pad 1 becomes compact. Further, when using the male incontinence pad 1, the center of the male incontinence pad 1 in the width direction x can be easily recognized based on the first fold 23, and the male incontinence pad 1 is appropriately attached. It becomes easy.

  The second fold line 24 preferably coincides with the center line in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1. If the second fold line 24 is thus provided, the folded male incontinence pad 1 becomes compact. Moreover, it becomes easy to handle both ends of the one side and the other side in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1, and the male incontinence pad 1 can be easily taken out from the male incontinence pad package 31.

  The first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 are preferably provided on the outer surface side of the male incontinence pad 1 so as to cover both sides of the first fold 23. More preferably, the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 are provided wider at the end in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1 in the width direction x than the male incontinence pad 1. Moreover, it is preferable that the 1st coating sheet 21 and the 2nd coating sheet 22 are extended from the edge of the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1 to the outward of the longitudinal direction y.

  In the male incontinence pad package 31, the first cover sheets 21 or the second cover sheets 22 folded back at the first fold 23 are joined at the end in the width direction x and / or the end in the longitudinal direction y. It is preferable. If the first covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22 are formed in this way, in the state of the male incontinence pad package 31, the end portions in the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1 are the first and second ends. It becomes difficult to expose from the covering sheets 21 and 22, and the handleability of the male incontinence pad package 31 is improved.

  The male incontinence pad package 31 includes the male incontinence pad 1 covered with the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 and folded in four, so that the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 are mutually connected. It is preferable that it is joined. By joining the first covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22 to each other in this way, the male incontinence pad 1 is folded in four with the covering sheet covered before the male incontinence pad 1 is used. It becomes easy to maintain the state.

  The location where the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 are joined to each other is not particularly limited, but the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 are preferably joined at the end in the longitudinal direction y. Are preferably joined to the second fold line 24 within 15 mm (more preferably within 10 mm) from the edge 26 located on the opposite side to the longitudinal direction y. Moreover, it is preferable that the 1st coating sheet 21 and the 2nd coating sheet 22 are joined in the outer part of the longitudinal direction y rather than the edge of the longitudinal direction y of the male incontinence pad 1. Thus, if the 1st coating sheet 21 and the 2nd coating sheet 22 are joined, when taking out the male incontinence pad 1 from the male incontinence pad package 31, the 1st coating sheet 21 and the 2nd coating sheet 22 are used. It becomes easy to handle together. The first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 may also be joined to each other at the end in the width direction x.

  In FIG. 5C, the male incontinence pad 1 is folded back at the second fold line 24 between the first covering sheets 21 folded back at the first fold line 23, the second covering sheets 22 folded back at the first fold line 23. Thus, the first covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22 facing each other are bonded to each other at the end portion in the longitudinal direction y and the seal portion 25 at the end portion in the width direction x. The joining of the first or second covering sheets 21 and 22 or the joining of the first covering sheet 21 and the second covering sheet 22 may be performed by a known joining means. Examples of the joining means include an adhesive, heat fusion, and ultrasonic fusion.

  In the male incontinence pad package 31, the first cover sheet 21 and the second cover sheet 22 are detachably joined to the adhesive portion 7 provided on the male incontinence pad 1. The first cover sheet 21 is provided on one side of the male incontinence pad 1 with the second fold line 24 interposed therebetween, and the second cover sheet 22 is provided on the other side of the male incontinence pad 1 with the second fold line 24 interposed therebetween. Therefore, the adhesive portion 7 is provided on the male incontinence pad 1 on each of one side and the other side with the second fold 24 interposed therebetween. Accordingly, the adhesive portion 7 of the male incontinence pad 1 is detachably joined to the first cover sheet 21 or the second cover sheet 22. Note that the adhesive portion 7 is preferably not provided in the second fold line 24. Since the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22 are detachably joined to the male incontinence pad 1 at the adhesive portion 7, the male incontinence pad 1 is less likely to come off from the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22. Before the male incontinence pad 1 is used, it is easy to maintain the state where the male incontinence pad 1 is covered with the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22.

  The first and second cover sheets 21 and 22 are only required to be peelable from the adhesive portion 7 of the male incontinence pad 1. For example, the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22 are made of a plastic film or the side facing the male incontinence pad is made of a plastic film. It is preferable that it is comprised from the laminated body which is. In the latter case, the covering sheet may be a laminate in which paper or cloth material (nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, knitted fabric, etc.) is laminated on a plastic film. In addition, the first and second cover sheets 21 and 22 are configured such that a portion to be bonded to the adhesive portion 7 is made of a material that can be peeled from the adhesive portion 7, and other portions are made of paper or cloth materials (nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, knitted fabric). Etc.) may be made of a material that cannot be peeled off from the adhesive part 7 or the like, and the part to be bonded to the adhesive part 7 may be subjected to silicone processing to improve the peelability from the adhesive part 7.
