In the configuration in which the absorbent body 4 is subjected to uneven processing and pressing processing, the wearer only needs to be able to recognize the processing through the top sheet.

識別部5を構成する周囲の表面シートの摩擦係数と異なる摩擦係数を有する領域は、表面シートの素材や表面加工を識別部5のみ異ならせることによって実現できる。また、識別部5は、装着者が触感と共に視覚によって周囲と識別できるように構成されていてもよい。具体的には、周囲の吸収性パッドの肌対向面と異なる色が識別部5に付される構成や、周囲の吸収性パッドの肌対向面と異なる模様や図柄が識別部5に付される構成を例示できる。   A region having a friction coefficient different from the friction coefficient of the surrounding surface sheet constituting the identification unit 5 can be realized by making only the identification unit 5 have a different material or surface processing of the surface sheet. Moreover, the identification part 5 may be comprised so that a wearer can identify from the circumference | surroundings with a tactile sensation visually. Specifically, a configuration in which a color different from the skin-facing surface of the surrounding absorbent pad is applied to the identification unit 5, or a pattern or design different from the skin-facing surface of the surrounding absorbent pad is applied to the identification unit 5. The configuration can be exemplified.

係合部6は、下着又はおむつに対して着脱可能に係合するように構成されている。係合部6は、下着やおむつに対して着脱可能に係合するフック部材(図示せず)を有する。係合部6は、下着等に設けられた雄部材に係合する雌部材であってもよいし、下着等のいずれの面にも係合するように構成されていてもよい。   The engaging part 6 is configured to detachably engage with an undergarment or a diaper. The engaging portion 6 has a hook member (not shown) that is detachably engaged with an undergarment or a diaper. The engaging portion 6 may be a female member that engages with a male member provided in underwear or the like, or may be configured to engage with any surface such as underwear.

識別部5は、係合部6に対応する領域に配置されている。係合部6に対する領域とは、少なくとも厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域を含む。係合部6に対する領域は、厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域、及び重なる領域から前後方向に20mm延びる領域であってもよい。   The identification unit 5 is disposed in a region corresponding to the engagement unit 6. The region with respect to the engaging portion 6 includes a region that overlaps with the engaging portion 6 at least in the thickness direction. The region for the engaging portion 6 may be a region overlapping the engaging portion 6 in the thickness direction and a region extending 20 mm in the front-rear direction from the overlapping region.

係合部6と識別部5は、前後方向Lにおいてずれて配置されていてもよいし、前後方向Lにおいて一致していてもよい。係合部6と識別部5が前後方向においてずれた状態とは、識別部5と係合部6が厚み方向において少なくとも一部が重なっている状態、及び識別部5と係合部6が厚み方向に重なっていない状態である。   The engaging portion 6 and the identifying portion 5 may be arranged so as to be shifted in the front-rear direction L, or may coincide with each other in the front-rear direction L. The state where the engaging portion 6 and the identifying portion 5 are displaced in the front-rear direction is a state where the identifying portion 5 and the engaging portion 6 are at least partially overlapped in the thickness direction, and the thickness of the identifying portion 5 and the engaging portion 6 is thick. It is in a state where it does not overlap in the direction.

本実施の形態においては、係合部6の一部と識別部5の一部が厚み方向において重なっている。係合部6の少なくとも一部は、識別部5の前後方向の外端縁(前端縁及び後端縁)よりも前後方向の外側に位置する。また、係合部6は、厚み方向に突出する凸部であり、識別部5は、厚み方向に凹む凹部である。   In the present embodiment, a part of the engaging part 6 and a part of the identifying part 5 overlap in the thickness direction.

Moreover, the engaging part 6 is a convex part protruding in the thickness direction, and the identification part 5 is a concave part recessed in the thickness direction.

係合部6と識別部5は、前側域S1と後側域S2にそれぞれ設けられている。係合部6と識別部5は、股下域S3に設けられていない。   The engaging part 6 and the identification part 5 are provided in the front side area S1 and the rear side area S2, respectively. The engagement part 6 and the identification part 5 are not provided in the crotch region S3.

(2)作用・効果
吸収性パッドの肌対向面には、周囲と触感が異なる識別部5が設けられる。識別部5は、係合部6に対応する領域に設けられる。よって、装着者は、触感で識別部5の位置を把握することによって、吸収性パッド1の非肌対向面に位置する係合部6を直接視認できない場合であっても係合部6の位置を把握することができる。よって、吸収性パッドを視認し難い場合であっても、下着やおむつの適切な位置に吸収性パッドを容易に装着できる。例えば、視力が衰えた高齢の装着者においても、触感によって識別部5及び係合部6の位置を把握することができる。その結果、高齢者が自分で装着できるという意識を持つことができ、高齢者の自立を支援することができる。
(2) Actions / Effects The skin-facing surface of the absorbent pad is provided with an identification unit 5 having a different tactile sensation from the surrounding. The identification unit 5 is provided in a region corresponding to the engagement unit 6. Therefore, even if the wearer cannot directly recognize the engaging portion 6 located on the non-skin facing surface of the absorbent pad 1 by grasping the position of the identifying portion 5 by tactile sensation, the position of the engaging portion 6 is determined. Can be grasped. Therefore, even when it is difficult to visually recognize the absorbent pad, the absorbent pad can be easily attached to an appropriate position of the underwear or the diaper. For example, even an elderly wearer with reduced visual acuity can grasp the positions of the identification unit 5 and the engagement unit 6 by tactile sensation. As a result, it is possible to have an awareness that the elderly can be worn by themselves, and to support the independence of the elderly.

図4に、吸収性パッドを下着に装着する動作を説明する図を示す。図4は、吸収性パッド1及び下着の前後方向に沿った断面を基準としている。吸収性パッドを下着等に装着する際は、一般的に、装着者が下着等を下ろし、腰をかけた状態で行われる。   FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining the operation of attaching the absorbent pad to the undergarment. FIG. 4 is based on a cross section along the front-rear direction of the absorbent pad 1 and the undergarment. When the absorbent pad is worn on the underwear or the like, generally, the wearer lowers the underwear or the like and sits down.

具体的には、例えば、次の装着動作にとって下着等に吸収性パッドを装着できる。まず、装着者は、吸収性パッド1の前側域S1を一方の手で持ち、吸収性パッド1の後側域S2の他方の手で持つ(図4(a)参照)。装着者は、吸収性パッド1の股下域S3の肌対向面に手を当てて、下着Sの股下域に吸収性パッドの股下域を当接させる。次いで、装着者は、吸収性パッド1の股下域S3の肌対向面に当てた手を前側Fにスライド移動し、下着Sの前側域に吸収性パッド1の前側域S1の係合部6を止着する(図4(b)参照)。そして、装着者は、下着Sの後側域に吸収性パッド1の後側域S2の係合部6を止着する(図4(c)参照)。   Specifically, for example, the absorbent pad can be attached to underwear or the like for the next attachment operation. First, the wearer holds the front side area S1 of the absorbent pad 1 with one hand and the other side of the rear side area S2 of the absorbent pad 1 (see FIG. 4A). The wearer places his / her hand on the skin facing surface of the crotch region S3 of the absorbent pad 1 and brings the crotch region of the absorbent pad into contact with the crotch region of the underwear S. Next, the wearer slides the hand applied to the skin facing surface of the crotch region S3 of the absorbent pad 1 to the front side F, and the engaging portion 6 of the front side region S1 of the absorbent pad 1 is placed on the front side region of the underwear S. Fasten (see FIG. 4B). And a wearer fastens the engaging part 6 of the back side area S2 of the absorbent pad 1 to the back side area of the underwear S (refer FIG.4 (c)).

係合部6が吸収性パッド1の非肌対向面側に位置するため、装着者は、吸収性パッド1の装着時に係合部6を直接視認できない。しかし、係合部6に対応する領域に識別部5が設けられているため、装着者は、吸収性パッドの肌対向面上の手を前後方向にスライド移動することにより、触感により識別部5を認識でき、係合部6の位置を把握できる。また、装着者が吸収性パッド1の識別部5を直接視認できない場合や識別部5を視認し難い場合においても、触感によって識別部5を認識でき、係合部6の位置を把握できる。加えて、吸収性パッド1に手を当ててスライド移動する一連の装着動作を行うことで、装着者が意図せずに識別部5を認識できるため、装着者の装着操作の負担を軽減できる。   Since the engaging part 6 is located on the non-skin facing surface side of the absorbent pad 1, the wearer cannot directly visually recognize the engaging part 6 when the absorbent pad 1 is worn. However, since the identification unit 5 is provided in a region corresponding to the engagement unit 6, the wearer slides and moves the hand on the skin-facing surface of the absorbent pad in the front-rear direction, so that the identification unit 5 is touched. And the position of the engaging portion 6 can be grasped. Even when the wearer cannot directly recognize the identification part 5 of the absorbent pad 1 or when it is difficult to visually recognize the identification part 5, the identification part 5 can be recognized by tactile sensation, and the position of the engagement part 6 can be grasped. In addition, by performing a series of mounting operations in which the absorbent pad 1 is slid by placing a hand on the absorbent pad 1, the wearer can recognize the identification unit 5 unintentionally, thereby reducing the burden on the wearer's mounting operation.

識別部5は、厚み方向に突出する凸部又は厚み方向に凹む凹部であってもよい。装着者が吸収性パッドの肌対向面に沿って手を移動した際に、装着者の手が識別部5を構成する凸部又は凹部に当たる。装着者は、凸部や凹部に当たって手の動きを止めやすい。よって、感覚的に装着者に識別部5の位置を把握させることができる。   The identification part 5 may be a convex part protruding in the thickness direction or a concave part recessed in the thickness direction. When the wearer moves his / her hand along the skin-facing surface of the absorbent pad, the wearer's hand hits a convex portion or a concave portion constituting the identification unit 5. The wearer tends to stop the movement of the hand by hitting the convex part or the concave part. Therefore, it is possible to make the wearer grasp the position of the identification unit 5 sensuously.

係合部6に対応する厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域であってもよい。係合部6に重なる領域に識別部5が配置され、装着者は、識別部5の位置によって係合部6の正確な位置を把握できる。装着者は、識別部5を介して吸収性パッドの肌対向面側から非肌対向面側に吸収性パッドを押圧することにより、係合部6を下着等に止着できる。   It may be a region overlapping with the engaging portion 6 in the thickness direction corresponding to the engaging portion 6. The identification unit 5 is disposed in a region overlapping the engagement unit 6, and the wearer can grasp the exact position of the engagement unit 6 based on the position of the identification unit 5. The wearer can attach the engaging portion 6 to the underwear or the like by pressing the absorbent pad from the skin facing surface side to the non-skin facing surface side of the absorbent pad via the identification portion 5.

係合部6の少なくとも一部は、識別部5の前後方向の外端縁よりも前後方向の外側に位置していてもよい。上述のように、下着等に吸収性パッド1を装着する際は、吸収性パッド1の股下域S3の肌対向面に当てた手を前側F及び後側Rにスライド移動し、下着Sの前側域に吸収性パッド1の前側域S1の係合部6を止着するとともに、下着Sの後側域S2に吸収性パッド1の後側域S2の係合部6を止着することができる。このとき、手の移動方向は、前後方向Lの外側に向かう方向である。装着者が、識別部5に当たった手を前後方向Lの外側かつ非肌対向面側に更に押すことにより、識別部5よりも前後方向の外側に位置する係合部6を下着等に押し当てることができる。吸収性パッドの股下域の肌対向面に当てた手を前側及び後側にスライドする一連の動作で、係合部6を下着等に適切に止着することができる。   At least a part of the engaging portion 6 may be located on the outer side in the front-rear direction with respect to the outer edge in the front-rear direction of the identification unit 5. As described above, when the absorbent pad 1 is worn on the underwear or the like, the hand applied to the skin facing surface of the crotch region S3 of the absorbent pad 1 is slid to the front side F and the rear side R, and the front side of the underwear S The engaging portion 6 of the front side region S1 of the absorbent pad 1 can be fixed to the region, and the engaging portion 6 of the rear side region S2 of the absorbent pad 1 can be fixed to the rear side region S2 of the underwear S. . At this time, the moving direction of the hand is a direction toward the outside of the front-rear direction L. When the wearer further presses the hand that hits the identification unit 5 to the outside in the front-rear direction L and to the non-skin-facing surface side, the wearer pushes the engagement unit 6 positioned on the outer side in the front-rear direction than the identification unit 5 to You can guess. The engaging portion 6 can be appropriately fastened to the undergarment or the like by a series of operations in which the hand applied to the skin facing surface in the crotch region of the absorbent pad is slid forward and rearward.

係合部6は、厚み方向に突出する凸部であり、識別部5は、厚み方向に凹む凹部であってもよい。厚み方向において識別部5と係合部6の周囲とが重なった領域の厚みは、識別部5や係合部6が設けられていない領域の厚みよりも薄い。一方、厚み方向において識別部5の周囲と係合部6が重なった領域の厚みは、識別部5や係合部6が設けられていない領域の厚みよりも厚い。このように、凸部からなる係合部6と凹部からなる識別部5とを有することにより、吸収性パッドの厚み差を比較的大きくできる。よって、装着者は、識別部5や係合部6を認識し易くなる。   The engaging part 6 may be a convex part protruding in the thickness direction, and the identification part 5 may be a concave part recessed in the thickness direction. In the thickness direction, the thickness of the region where the identification portion 5 and the periphery of the engagement portion 6 overlap is thinner than the thickness of the region where the identification portion 5 and the engagement portion 6 are not provided. On the other hand, the thickness of the region where the periphery of the identification unit 5 and the engagement unit 6 overlap in the thickness direction is thicker than the thickness of the region where the identification unit 5 and the engagement unit 6 are not provided. Thus, by having the engaging part 6 which consists of a convex part, and the identification part 5 which consists of a recessed part, the thickness difference of an absorbent pad can be made comparatively large. Therefore, the wearer can easily recognize the identification unit 5 and the engagement unit 6.

また、装着者は、吸収性パッド1を下着等に押し当てる際に、識別部5を押圧することができる。このとき、係合部6と識別部5が前後方向Lに一致している構成にあっては、係合部6は、装着者が識別部を押圧した際に厚み方向に押圧される。係合部6の係合フックは、その先端が下着に対して垂直に押し当たる。そのため、係合部6の係合フックが下着等に引っ掛かり難い。しかし、係合部6と識別部5が前後方向Lにずれている構成にあっては、係合部6は、装着者が識別部5を押圧した際に、厚み方向とともに前後方向に押圧される。係合部6の係合フックは、その先端が下着に対して斜めに押し当たる。そのため、係合部6の係合フックが下着等に引っ掛かり易くなる。更に、識別部5が凹部である構成にあっては、装着者が識別部5の凹部を指で押すことにより、係合フックを下着等に対して斜めに押し当てることができ、係合フックが下着等に掛かり易くなる。   Further, the wearer can press the identification unit 5 when pressing the absorbent pad 1 against underwear or the like. At this time, in the configuration in which the engaging portion 6 and the identifying portion 5 coincide with the front-rear direction L, the engaging portion 6 is pressed in the thickness direction when the wearer presses the identifying portion. The front end of the engaging hook of the engaging portion 6 is pressed against the underwear. Therefore, the engagement hook of the engagement portion 6 is not easily caught on the underwear or the like. However, in the configuration in which the engaging portion 6 and the identifying portion 5 are displaced in the front-rear direction L, the engaging portion 6 is pressed in the front-rear direction along with the thickness direction when the wearer presses the identifying portion 5. The The front end of the engaging hook of the engaging portion 6 is obliquely pressed against the underwear. Therefore, the engagement hook of the engagement portion 6 is easily caught on the underwear or the like. Further, in the configuration in which the identification unit 5 is a recess, the wearer can press the engagement hook obliquely against the underwear or the like by pressing the recess of the identification unit 5 with a finger. Is easy to hang on underwear.

(3) Other Embodiments Although the present invention has been described in detail using the above-described embodiments, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein. it is obvious. The present invention can be implemented as modified and changed modes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the description of the scope of claims. Therefore, the description of the present specification is for illustrative purposes and does not have any limiting meaning to the present invention.

識別部5は、吸収体が厚み方向に圧搾された圧搾部によって形成されていてもよい。圧搾部は、周囲と比較して硬く、また周囲と比較して厚み方向に凹んでいる。よって、装着者は、厚み方向の変化と硬さの変化との両方によって識別部5を認識できる。更に、吸収性パッドの肌対向面に圧搾部を形成する際は、吸収性パッドの肌対向面側から非肌対向面側に向けて吸収性パッドを厚み方向に圧縮する。その結果、圧搾部の肌対向面は、周囲の肌対向面と比較して表面の模様や質感が異なる。よって、装着者は、視覚によっても識別部5を認識できる。   The identification part 5 may be formed by the pressing part by which the absorber was squeezed in the thickness direction. The pressing part is harder than the surroundings and is recessed in the thickness direction compared to the surroundings. Therefore, the wearer can recognize the identification unit 5 by both the change in the thickness direction and the change in the hardness. Furthermore, when forming a pressing part in the skin opposing surface of an absorbent pad, an absorbent pad is compressed in the thickness direction toward the non-skin opposing surface side from the skin opposing surface side of an absorbent pad. As a result, the skin facing surface of the squeezed part has a different surface pattern and texture compared to the surrounding skin facing surface. Therefore, the wearer can recognize the identification unit 5 visually.

識別部5には、周囲の吸収性パッドの肌対向面と異なる色が付されていてもよい。周囲と異なる色が識別部5に付されているため、装着者は、視覚によっても識別部5を認識できる。   The identification unit 5 may have a different color from the skin facing surface of the surrounding absorbent pad. Since the color different from the surroundings is given to the identification part 5, the wearer can recognize the identification part 5 also visually.

係合部6に対応する領域は、厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域、及び重なる領域から前後方向に20mm延びる領域であってもよい。装着者は、吸収性パッド1を下着等に押し当てる際に、識別部5を指で押圧することができる。一般的に、指で押圧した際に、指によって力を掛けられる範囲は、10mm程度である。厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域から10mmまでの範囲は、装着者が指で識別部5を押圧した際に、係合部6に対して力を掛けることができる範囲である。また、厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域から10mmを超えた範囲では、装着者が指で識別部5を押圧した際に、係合部6を下着に対して斜めに押し当てることができる範囲である。係合部6を下着に対して斜めに押し当てることにより、係合部6が下着等に引っかかり易くなる。一方、厚み方向において係合部6に重なる領域から20mmを超えた範囲では、装着者が指で識別部5を押圧した際に、係合部6に力が伝達し難くなるおそれがある。   The region corresponding to the engaging portion 6 may be a region overlapping the engaging portion 6 in the thickness direction and a region extending 20 mm in the front-rear direction from the overlapping region. The wearer can press the identification unit 5 with a finger when pressing the absorbent pad 1 against an undergarment or the like. Generally, when pressed with a finger, the range in which a force can be applied by the finger is about 10 mm. The range from the region overlapping the engagement portion 6 in the thickness direction to 10 mm is a range in which a force can be applied to the engagement portion 6 when the wearer presses the identification portion 5 with a finger. Moreover, in the range exceeding 10 mm from the area | region which overlaps with the engaging part 6 in the thickness direction, when a wearer presses the identification part 5 with a finger | toe, the engaging part 6 can be pressed diagonally with respect to underwear. It is a range. By pressing the engaging portion 6 obliquely against the underwear, the engaging portion 6 is easily caught by the underwear or the like. On the other hand, in the range exceeding 20 mm from the region overlapping the engaging portion 6 in the thickness direction, when the wearer presses the identification portion 5 with a finger, it may be difficult to transmit force to the engaging portion 6.

また、高齢者によっては、着用操作時に指が震えてしまうことがあり、意図した箇所を押圧できないことがある。しかし、係合部6に対応する領域が、係合部6に重なる領域から前後方向に20mm延びる領域であることにより、多少意図した箇所からずれた場合であっても、識別部5を介して係合部を押圧して、吸収性パッド1を下着に装着することができる。更に、係合部6に対応する領域が、係合部6に重なる領域から前後方向に20mm延びる領域であることにより、多少製造誤差が生じた場合であっても、識別部5を介して係合部6を押圧して、吸収性パッド1を下着に装着することができる。   Also, depending on the elderly, the finger may shake during the wearing operation, and the intended location may not be pressed. However, since the region corresponding to the engaging portion 6 is a region extending 20 mm in the front-rear direction from the region overlapping the engaging portion 6, even if the region slightly deviates from the intended place, The absorbent pad 1 can be attached to the underwear by pressing the engaging portion. Further, since the region corresponding to the engagement portion 6 is a region extending 20 mm in the front-rear direction from the region overlapping the engagement portion 6, even if a slight manufacturing error occurs, the engagement portion 6 is engaged via the identification portion 5. By pressing the joint portion 6, the absorbent pad 1 can be attached to the underwear.

また、変形例として、係合部6が厚み方向に凹む凹部であり、識別部5が厚み方向に突出する凸部であってもよいし、係合部6及び識別部5の両方が凹部であってもよいし、係合部6及び識別部5の両方が凸部であってもよい。該構成によっても、係合部6の有無、及び識別部5の有無によって、吸収性パッドの厚み差を比較的大きくできる。よって、装着者は、識別部5や係合部6を認識し易くなる。   As a modification, the engaging portion 6 may be a concave portion that is recessed in the thickness direction, and the identification portion 5 may be a convex portion that protrudes in the thickness direction, or both the engaging portion 6 and the identification portion 5 are concave portions. There may be, and both the engaging part 6 and the identification part 5 may be convex parts. Also with this configuration, the thickness difference of the absorbent pad can be made relatively large depending on the presence / absence of the engaging portion 6 and the presence / absence of the identifying portion 5. Therefore, the wearer can easily recognize the identification unit 5 and the engagement unit 6.
