  The model body refers to a model of a male or female genital area to which hygiene items are attached. The size of the model is not particularly limited as long as the hygiene product can be easily installed, but is preferably an average value of the genital area of a man or woman in their teens to 50s, and a man in their 20s to 40s Or it is more preferable that it is the average value of a female pubic region. In addition, this “model body” may be created to resemble an actual genital area, but in order to remove the subject's disgust, the genital area is formed using only the members necessary to explain the method of wearing sanitary goods. It is preferably a simple model, and may be colored with bright and light colors to give the subject a sense of security. In addition, it is preferable that the model main body has a cross-section of a portion to which the hygiene product is mounted so that the subject can observe the entire hygiene-wear installation procedure, and the cross-section of the hygiene product mounting direction is simulated. More preferably. Moreover, since the model body imitates not only the entire body but only the part to which the sanitary goods are attached, it is lightweight and convenient to carry. Furthermore, by making the model main body approximately the full size so that the sanitary goods can be attached and detached, it becomes easy to imagine the state when the subject actually wears the sanitary goods.

  The model main body 10 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The exterior body 20 is a member that surrounds the four sides of the model body. The exterior body 20 is made of paper. The exterior body 20 has a pair of fixing members arranged along a plane orthogonal to the first wall portion 11 of the model body 10 and orthogonal to the second wall portion 12. The fixing member includes a first fixing member 21 located on the front side shown in FIG. 1 and a second fixing member 22 located on the back side shown in FIG.

  The first fixing member 21 is configured such that the hole 18 is visible from the outside of the model 1 when the model 1 is viewed from the front. Specifically, the first fixing member 21 is formed with a window portion 21A along the shape of the hole 18. The window portion 21 </ b> A is an opening formed in the first fixing member 21.

  On the outer surface of the first fixing member 21 is written a cautionary note for explaining how to use sanitary goods. The first fixing member 21 functions as a manual.

  The second fixing member 22 forms one side surface that surrounds the hole 18 without the window portion 21 </ b> A of the first fixing member 21 being formed. In addition, the 1st fixing member 21 may be provided with the transparent member which covers the opening which comprises the window part 21A, According to the said structure, the transparent member which covers the opening of a window part also surrounds the hole part 18. FIG. Constitutes one aspect.

The pair of cover members includes a first cover member 23 and a second cover member 24. The first fixing member 21, the first cover member 23, the second fixing member 22, and the second cover member 24 are connected to each other and have a cylindrical shape that covers the outer peripheral surface of the model body 10. The first cover member 23 is disposed away from the outer peripheral surface of the model main body 10, and the second cover member 24 is disposed away from the outer peripheral surface of the model main body 10.

  By using a model to explain the method of mounting sanitary goods on the body, it is possible to explain the mounting method in more detail than using texts or illustrations.

  Since at least one of the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 can move in a direction away from the other, the space volume of the hole portion 18 can be changed. Therefore, even if it is a sanitary article of a different size, an appropriate wearing feeling can be experienced. For example, by configuring the hole according to a small size, the hole 18 can be widened when using a sanitary article of a large size, and the wearing mode can be experienced from a small size to a large size.

  In addition, neither the 1st vagina formation part 15 in which the 1st wall part 11 in this Embodiment was formed, nor the vagina formation part 16 in which the 2nd wall part 12 was formed is fixed to an exterior body, Is also configured to be movable in the width direction.

  At least one of the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 is configured to be movable in a direction away from the other in the region from the insertion opening to the center in the insertion direction of the housing portion. In the region from the insertion opening 18a to the center in the insertion direction of the housing portion, it is configured to be movable in a direction away from the other, so that when the tampon is mounted, the outer cylinder of the applicator is inserted. The volume can be varied to accommodate various sizes of tampon.

  Since the second fixing member 22 constituting one side surface of the hole portion 18 of the model body 10 is provided, the tampon can be inserted along the second fixing member 22. Therefore, when inserting the tampon into the hole, it is possible to suppress the accommodation direction of the tampon in the depth direction D of the hole 18 and to insert the tampon into the hole in a stable state.

  A part of the first wall part 11 and a part of the second wall part 12 of the model main body 10 may be joined to the first fixing member 21 or the second fixing member 22. By joining a part of the first wall part 11 and a part of the second wall part 12 to the fixing member, the positions of the wall parts surrounding the three sides of the tampon can be fixed. Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the hole can be maintained, and the user can feel a predetermined feeling. The predetermined sensation is a sensation when the tampon is inserted into the vagina. Specifically, the predetermined sensation is a sensation in which the resistance force at the time of insertion is 1N to 1.5N.

  Since the model 1 includes the first cover member 23 and the second cover member 24, the outside of the model body 10 can be protected, and the position of the model body 10 is prevented from being displaced when the model 1 is gripped by hand. it can.

  FIG. 4 is a view showing a state where the applicator is inserted in a cross section based on the cross section of FIG. 2. Fig.4 (a) is a figure which shows the state before inserting an applicator. FIG. 4B is a view showing a state where the applicator is inserted. A space is provided between the first cover member 23 and the model main body 10. And by inserting the applicator 71, the 1st wall part 11 is pressed by the outer surface of the applicator 71, and the 1st vagina formation part 15 moves to the 1st cover member 23 side. Further, the second wall portion 12 is pressed by the outer surface of the applicator 71, and the second vagina forming portion 16 moves to the second cover member 24 side. Therefore, since the space which can move the 1st vagina formation part 15 and the 2nd vagina formation part is formed in the circumference of model body 10, deformation of the model body is controlled by contact with a cover member and a model body. Can be prevented.

  The model body 10 is made of an elastic material having elasticity and friction resistance. Since the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 are elastically deformed, the tampon can be smoothly put in and out, and the inserted tampon can be held. Examples of the elastic material having elasticity and friction resistance include urethane foam, various synthetic resin foams having elasticity, silicon, rubber, and the like, and any of these materials is preferable. This makes it possible to reproduce the feel and resistance that are transmitted to the hand when the subject actually wears the tampon.

  Next, a model according to a modification will be described. In the description of the modification, only the configuration different from the above-described embodiment will be described, and the same reference numerals are used for the same configuration as the embodiment, and the description is omitted. FIG. 5 is a front view of a model 1A according to the first modification. In the model 1A according to Modification 1, the cross-sectional shape of the hole 18 is constant in the insertion direction. Moreover, the slit 25 is formed in the 2nd fixing member 22 of the model 1A along the insertion direction L of sanitary goods. The slit 25 is formed in a region constituting one side surface surrounding the hole 18.

  When the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 are pressed by the applicator 71, the second fixing member 22 can be separated in the width direction via the slit 25. Since the second fixing member 22 can be separated in the width direction via the slit 25, the volume of the hole 18 is changed. Moreover, when the 1st wall part 11 and the 2nd wall part 12 are pressed by the applicator 71, when the 2nd fixing member 22 deform | transforms into the depth direction D on the basis of the slit 25, the volume of the hole part 18 is also increased. Be changed. Thus, since the volume of the hole 18 is configured to be changeable, even when a large size tampon is inserted, a sense of resistance can be suppressed and anxiety about the use of a tampon by a beginner can be suppressed.

  FIG. 6 is a front view of a model 1B according to the second modification. In the second fixing member 22 of the model 1B according to the second modification, a perforation 26 is formed along the insertion direction L of the sanitary article as a weakened portion having a lower rigidity than the surrounding region. The perforation 26 is formed in a region constituting one side surface surrounding the hole 18.

  Also in the model 1B according to the second modification, when the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 are pressed by the applicator 71, the second fixing member 22 can be separated in the width direction via the perforation 26. . Since the second fixing member 22 can be separated in the width direction via the perforation 26, the volume of the hole 18 is changed. Further, when the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 are pressed by the applicator 71, the second fixing member 22 is deformed in the depth direction D with the perforation 26 as a base point. Is changed. Thus, since the volume of the hole 18 is configured to be changeable, even when a large size tampon is inserted, a sense of resistance can be suppressed and anxiety about the use of a tampon by a beginner can be suppressed.

  In addition, the weak part should just be comprised by rigidity lower than the 2nd fixing member around the perforation, and a structure other than a perforation may be sufficient as it. For example, a configuration in which a part of continuous cut lines is fixed with an adhesive tape or hot melt may be employed.

  FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of a model 1C according to Modification 3 with reference to the cross section of FIG. The model 1C according to Modification 3 is configured such that the distance between the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 is different in the depth direction. Specifically, the distance between the first wall portion 11 and the second wall portion 12 is shorter at the outer end in the depth direction of the hole 18 than at the center in the depth direction D of the hole 18. Since the distance between the outer end portions in the depth direction of the second hole portion is short, the position of the sanitary product can be prevented from being shifted in the depth direction when the sanitary product is inserted, and the sanitary product can be smoothly inserted into the hole. Furthermore, since the space | interval in the outer side edge part of the depth direction of a hole part is short, it becomes difficult to remove the sanitary goods once inserted.

  By providing the subject with the model according to the present embodiment, the subject can be encouraged to understand sanitary goods. The model may be provided to the subject as a single model, or as a sanitary article container in which a model is attached to a container housing the sanitary article to be targeted.

  Next, the sanitary article container according to the embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a perspective view 50 of a container for sanitary goods. The sanitary goods container 50 includes a model 1 and a packaging body 40 containing a plurality of tampons, which are sanitary goods to be mounted on the model 1. For example, by attaching the model 1 to the tampon package 40 containing the tampon, a subject who has purchased the tampon can understand how to use the tampon through the model 1.

  Therefore, the anxiety of the beginner's target person is suppressed, and the user who has not yet used the tampon can be encouraged to use or purchase the tampon. In addition, the user can understand how to use the tampon through the model and practice how to use the tampon, so that the tampon can be easily inserted into the correct position during actual use. By attaching the tampon to the correct position, the user's pain and discomfort during use can be suppressed.

  It goes without saying that the present invention includes various embodiments not described herein. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is defined only by the invention specifying matters according to the scope of claims reasonable from the above description.

  For example, in the model of the present embodiment, both the first wall portion and the second wall portion are configured to be movable outward in the width direction, but one of the first wall portion and the second wall portion is You may be comprised so that it can move toward the width direction outer side.

  In the configuration in which both the first wall portion and the second wall portion are movable outward in the width direction, even if the first wall portion and the second wall portion are movable in the entire insertion direction of the hole portion.
