Description

  The present specification discloses a packaged absorbent article comprising an absorbent article attached to clothes and absorbing a body fluid, and an outer package for wrapping the absorbent article.

  DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART Conventionally, the absorbent article which makes a skin contact surface contact a skin and absorbs a bodily fluid is known widely. Such absorbent articles include, for example, sanitary napkins, panty liners, incontinence pads, diapers, side sweat pads and the like.

  In many of such absorbent articles, an adhesive is applied to the sticking surface which is the surface opposite to the skin contact surface. Moreover, in order to prevent the adhesive from adhering to the outer package for packaging the absorbent article, a release sheet such as release paper is attached to the attachment surface before use. When using an absorbent article, usually, after taking out an absorbent article from an exterior body, a exfoliation sheet is exfoliated and separated from an adhesion side, and an adhesion side is adhered and fixed to clothes etc.

  Here, there is a demand that any such absorbent articles have high privacy and do not want others to know that they are being used. However, as described above, most conventional absorbent articles have a release sheet attached to the attachment surface. This release sheet is stiff and tends to emit relatively loud noise when it is bent or rubs against other members. Therefore, in conventional packaged absorbent articles having a release sheet, it is known to others that the absorbent article is used by the sound from the release sheet when carrying the absorbent article or when preparing for use. It was easier and there was a problem that privacy could not be kept enough.

JP 2011-518600 gazette JP 2005-336638 A

  Therefore, in some cases, packaged absorbent articles that do not use a release sheet have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which the absorbent article is folded so that the bonding surfaces thereof face each other, and an adhesive is provided as fixing means on the two facing surfaces.

  In addition, Patent Document 2 discloses a packaging structure including an absorbent article and an individual-dressing sheet for packaging the absorbent article, wherein two types of hot melt adhesion are provided between the absorbent article and the absorbent article. Disclosed is a packaging structure in which the agent is peelably laminated and bonded.

  According to these techniques, it is not necessary to attach a release sheet to the affixing surface of the absorbent article, so it is possible to eliminate the sound caused by the release sheet, which in turn occurs when carrying or preparing for use of the absorbent article. The sound can be reduced to some extent.

  However, in each of Patent Literatures 1 and 2, the adhesive applied to the adhesive surface of the absorbent article is superposed on and adhered to another adhesive applied to the adhesive surface as well. In this case, it is necessary to separate the adhesive and the adhesive adhered to each other, but when the adhesives are separated from each other, a certain amount of sound is generated. That is, with the techniques of Patent Documents 1 and 2, the sound when preparing the absorbent article could not be sufficiently reduced.

  Thus, the present specification discloses a packaged absorbent article that can further reduce the noise generated when preparing the absorbent article.

  The packaged absorbent article disclosed in the present specification is an absorbent article having a skin contact surface to be in contact with the skin, and a sticking surface which is the opposite side of the skin contact surface and is to be stuck to clothes. And an exterior body for packaging the absorbent article, the adhesion surface is provided with one or more adhesion areas, and at least one of the adhesion surface or the exterior body is provided with the adhesion area. One or more facing areas are provided in such a manner that the absorbent article is packaged in the outer package and is in contact with the one or more bonding areas, and one or more bonding parts and one or more bonding areas are provided in each bonding area. Peeling parts are formed, and in each opposing area, one or more bonding parts in contact with the peeling parts of the corresponding bonding area, and one or more peeling parts in contact with the bonding parts of the corresponding bonding area; Are formed.

  With such a configuration, since the bonding portions do not overlap with each other, it is possible to further reduce the sound generated when the bonding area is peeled from the opposite area, that is, the sound generated when preparing the absorbent article.

  In the adhesion area, one or more linear adhesion parts and one or more linear separation parts are alternately formed in a stripe shape, and the opposing area is linear. The one or more bonding portions and the linear one or more peeling portions may be alternately formed in a stripe shape.

  With this configuration, the shapes of the bonding portion and the peeling portion can be simplified, so the process of forming the bonding portion and the peeling portion can be simplified.

  Further, the longitudinal direction of the bonding portion and the peeling portion may be parallel to the peeling direction at the time of peeling the bonding area from the opposing area.

  With such a configuration, the distance between the peeling start ends can be shortened, and therefore the peeling noise generated in accordance with the length of the peeling start end edge and, further, the sound generated when preparing the absorbent article can be further reduced.

  Further, the absorbent article is packaged in the outer package in a state of being folded along a prescribed folding line such that at least a part of the sticking surfaces face each other and abut each other, and the sticking is performed. The bonding area and an opposing area corresponding to the bonding area may be provided on both sides of the folding line in the surface.

  Further, the absorbent article is packaged in the outer package in a state where at least a part of the attachment surface abuts on the inner surface of the outer package, and the absorbent article and the inner surface of the outer package are mutually attached. The bonding area and an opposing area corresponding to the bonding area may be provided in the portion in contact. In this case, the facing area provided on the inner surface of the outer package may be provided at a portion completely or partially separated from the outer package when the outer package is opened.

  Also, the packaged absorbent article may not have a release sheet. With this configuration, the sound caused by the release sheet can be eliminated, and the sound at the time of carrying and preparation of the absorbent article can be further reduced.

  According to the packaged absorbent article disclosed in the present specification, the sound generated when the bonded area is peeled from the opposite area, ie, the sound generated when preparing the absorbent article, because the bonded parts do not overlap with each other It can reduce more.

  Hereinafter, the packaged absorbent article 10 will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a front view of a packaged absorbent article 10. Moreover, FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional drawing of the absorbent article 30 in the AA line of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a figure which shows the state which expanded the absorbent article 30. As shown in FIG.

  The packaged absorbent article 10 is obtained by packaging an absorbent article 30 with an outer package 12. The absorbent article 30 is not particularly limited as long as it absorbs body fluid, and, for example, a sanitary napkin, panty liner, incontinence pad, diaper, side sweat pad, etc. correspond. Hereinafter, the case where the absorbent article 30 is a sanitary napkin will be described as an example.

  In the example of FIG. 1, the absorbent article 30 is housed and packaged in the exterior body 12 in a state of being folded in two. When using the absorbent article 30, the user opens the exterior body 12 and takes out the absorbent article 30. Also, when replacing the used absorbent article 30 with a new absorbent article 30, the used absorbent article 30 is wrapped with the exterior body 12 in which the new absorbent article 30 has been packaged. , Can be discarded.

  The form is not particularly limited as long as the exterior body 12 can cover the entire absorbent article 30. In the illustrated example, the exterior body 12 has a substantially rectangular flat bag shape formed by folding one sheet material in two and joining overlapping sheets on three sides except a ring. Hereinafter, a direction parallel to the bending line of the sheet material is referred to as a “width direction”, and a direction orthogonal to the width direction is referred to as a “height direction”. Further, in the following description, even if the same sheet-like member is referred to as a "sheet material" when meaning a material or a material, the term "sheet" when meaning a portion constituting the surface of the exterior body 12 Call. Therefore, the exterior body 12 shown in FIG. 1 is configured by folding a sheet of sheet in two, and the absorbent article 30 is formed by folding two sheets, ie, the front sheet 14f and the back sheet 14b. It can be said that it is sandwiched between.

  Although the sheet material which comprises the exterior body 12 is not specifically limited, When handling, it is desirable that it is a sheet material which a sound does not produce easily. Therefore, it is desirable that the sheet material constituting the exterior body 12 be a material having high flexibility and low rigidity, for example, a resin film (preferably an olefin resin film), a non-woven sheet or the like. Moreover, since the sheet material which comprises the exterior body 12 may also wrap the used absorbent article 30, it is also desirable to have waterproofness. Moreover, when the sheet material which comprises the exterior body 12 is a nonwoven fabric sheet, in order to make it easy to form the adhesion part 40 and the peeling part 42, you may laminate at least one part of a nonwoven fabric sheet with a resin film .

  The front auxiliary sheet 14f is provided with breaking auxiliary lines 18 and 20 for assisting the breakage of the front front sheet 14f. As the breaking auxiliary lines 18 and 20, for example, perforations in which cuts are intermittently arranged, half cut lines which are cuts having a depth less than the thickness of the sheet material, or the like can be used. The formation position and the number of the rupture assisting wires 18 and 20 can be appropriately changed. In this example, the front sheet 14f is formed with a first rupture assisting line 18 extending in the width direction and a pair of second rupture assisting lines 20 extending in the height direction of the front sheet 14f. The first rupture assisting line 18 extends in the width direction at a position near the distal end in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 30 to be accommodated. The second breaking assisting lines 20 extend in the height direction at positions near both widthwise end edges of the front sheet 14 f. As will be described in detail later, when taking out the absorbent article 30, the initial peeling area 22 located above the first breaking auxiliary line 18 is expanded to expose a part of the absorbent article 30 to the outside, and then the absorbent article 30 is absorbed. Expand the sex goods 30. The second breaking assisting line 20 is provided to release the connection between the front sheet 14f and the back sheet 14b at both ends in the width direction. Therefore, for example, if the connection between the front sheet 14f and the back sheet 14b at both ends in the width direction can be released as needed by controlling the adhesive strength between the sheets, even if the second breaking auxiliary line 20 is omitted, Good.

  The absorbent article 30 is used by being attached to clothes to absorb body fluid, and one surface of the absorbent article 30 functions as a sticking surface 34 to be attached to clothes, and the other side is It functions as a skin contact surface 32 that contacts the skin. FIG. 3 is a view of the absorbent article 30 from the side of the bonding surface 34.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the absorbent article 30 of the present example is a substantially rounded rectangle. The absorbent article 30 is accommodated in the exterior body 12 in a state of being folded in two along a prescribed folding line L. The fold line L extends in the width direction of the absorbent article 30 at a position slightly offset from the longitudinal center of the absorbent article 30. Therefore, when it bend | folds along this bending line L, as shown in FIG. 1, the both ends of the major axis direction of the absorbent article 30 will be shifted slightly, and will be located.

  The absorbent article 30 is folded so that the sticking surface 34 is inward, that is, valley-folded along the fold line L. By folding in this manner, in the packaging state, the sticking surfaces 34 of the absorbent article 30 face each other. An adhesion area 36 and an opposite area 38 are provided in a portion of the adhesion surface 34 that faces each other in the packaged state.

  In the adhesion area 36, linear adhesion parts 40 (FIG. 2, cross hatched parts in FIG. 3) and linear peeling parts 42 (thin ink hatched parts in FIG. 2, FIG. 3) alternate in stripes. Lined up.

  The bonding portion 40 is formed by applying or printing an adhesive on the bonding surface 34 using a conventionally known method. The adhesive for forming the adhesive portion 40 is not particularly limited as long as it exhibits an adhesive force to the adherend (in this example, a garment) and maintains the adhesive state of the affixing surface 34. Therefore, as the adhesive, for example, elastomer type (acrylic rubber, nitrile rubber, urethane rubber, styrene butadiene rubber etc), thermosetting resin type (polyester, polyurethane, epoxy resin, melamine resin etc), thermoplastic resin type ( Adhesives such as acrylic resin, polyolefin, polyvinyl chloride, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, etc. can be used. It is particularly preferable to use an elastomer-based or thermoplastic resin-based hot melt adhesive from the viewpoint of having adhesiveness at normal temperature and reducing environmental load.

  The peeling part 42 is formed by apply | coating or printing a release agent by the method similar to an adhesive agent. The release agent for forming the release portion 42 is not particularly limited as long as the release property can be secured without being bonded to the adhesive portion 40, and various release agents can be used. Therefore, as the release agent, for example, an ink containing a silicone resin can be used.

  Each of the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 has a linear shape elongated in the direction orthogonal to the bending line L, and is alternately arranged in the direction parallel to the bending line L. The width, arrangement pitch, and number of the bonding portions 40 and the peeling portions 42 are not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected according to the size and shape of the absorbent article 30, the bonding performance required, and the like. Moreover, although the clearance gap is provided between the adhesion part 40 and the peeling part 42 in the example of illustration, this clearance gap may exist or may not exist. Further, the width W1 of the bonding portion 40 and the width W2 of the peeling portion 42 may be the same or different. In particular, it is preferable that the width W2 of the peeling portion 42 be larger than the width W1 of the bonding portion 40 in order to peel the bonding area 36 and the opposing area 38 described later smoothly. Therefore, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, the width W2 of the peeling portion 42 may be larger than the width W1 of the bonding portion 40.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, in the present example, the facing area 38 is an area that faces and abuts on the bonding area 36 in the packaged state (the state in which the absorbent article 30 is folded). Also in the facing area 38, the linear bonding portions 40 and the linear peeling portions 42 are alternately arranged in stripes. The configuration of the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 of the facing area 38 is the same as that of the bonding area 36. However, the adhesive portion 40 of the opposing area 38 is in contact with the peeling portion 42 of the adhesive area 36 in the packaged state, and the peeling portion 42 of the opposing area 38 is in contact with the adhesive portion 40 of the adhesive area 36 in the packaged state. It is provided in the contact position, respectively. As a result, as shown in FIG. 2, in the packaged state, any of the bonding parts 40 of the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38 always abuts on the peeling part 42.

  Next, the flow of preparation for use of the absorbent article 30 will be described. When using the absorbent article 30, first, the exterior body 12 is opened. In the case of the example of illustration of FIG. 1, in order to cut off the initial exfoliation area 22 which is the upper part rather than the 1st breaking auxiliary line 18 among front sheets 14f, the 1st breaking auxiliary line 18 and the 2nd breaking auxiliary line 20 Break along. FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which the initial peeling area 22 is cut from the exterior body 12.

  As described above, the absorbent article 30 is folded in half so that both longitudinal ends are slightly offset. Below, among the long-axis direction both ends of the absorbent article 30, the end on the side of the front sheet 14f (the sheet on which the breaking lines 18 and 20 are formed) is the “front end 44f”, the end on the back sheet 14b side Is called "rear end 44b".

  Since the first rupture assisting line 18 is located slightly lower than the front end 44 f of the absorbent article 30, the front end 44 f and the rear of the absorbent article 30 can be formed by cutting and spreading the initial peeling area 22. Each side end 44 b is exposed to the outside.

  In this state, the user pinches the front end 44f with one hand and the rear end 44b with the other hand. At this time, in order to reduce the contact of the fingers with the skin contact surface 32, as shown in FIG. 5, the user maintains the state in which the sheets 14f and 14b of the exterior body 12 cover the skin contact surface 32. Preferably, the absorbent article 30 is pinched together with the sheets 14f and 14b. In FIG. 5, thick lines indicate the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38.

  Subsequently, in a state where the user holds the front end 44 f and the rear end 44 b with both hands, the user releases both hands to spread the absorbent article 30. At this time, the front sheet 14f is broken along the second breaking auxiliary line 20, and the exterior body 12 becomes a flat sheet as shown in FIG. Then, by releasing the folding of the absorbent article 30, the sticking surface 34 is exposed to the outside. In this state, the user presses the sticking surface 34 against the clothes 100 to be stuck. As described above, the bonding surface 34 is provided with a plurality of bonding portions 40, and the adhesive strength of the bonding portion 40 fixes the absorbent article 30 to the clothes 100.

  Here, as is clear from the above description, in the present example, a plurality of bonding portions 40 are provided on the bonding surface 34, but a release sheet for covering the bonding portions 40 is not provided. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the sound accompanying carrying or use preparation of the absorbent article 30 can be reduced, and a user's privacy can be kept high. This will be described in comparison with the prior art.

  Generally, there is a demand that the absorbent article 30 attached to clothes or the like to absorb body fluid has high privacy and does not want others to know that it is being used. However, many of the conventional absorbent articles 30 have a release sheet, and the noise generated when carrying the absorbent article 30 or when releasing the release sheet is large, and the use of the absorbent article 30 is Has a problem of being easily known to people.

  That is, the absorbent article 30 needs to have a sticking surface that is bonded to the garment to enable its use. Most of the conventional absorbent articles 30 apply an adhesive to most of the adhesive surface, and attach a release sheet such as release paper to the adhesive surface. And when using the absorbent article 30, after peeling off this peeling sheet from the sticking surface, the sticking surface was stuck on clothing.

  However, such a release sheet is often relatively stiff, and when bent or comes in contact with other members, it is likely to produce a loud noise such as cascading, crisping or bubbling. When the absorbent article 30 to which the release sheet is attached is carried, the rubbing noise between the release sheet and the exterior body may cause others to know that the absorbent article 30 is being carried. In addition, when peeling the release sheet from the absorbent article 30 to use the absorbent article 30, relatively loud peeling noise is generated, and there is a fear that the use of the absorbent article 30 may be known to others. there were. That is, when the release sheet was present, it was difficult to keep the privacy high.

  On the other hand, in the absorbent article 30 disclosed in the present specification, as described above, the bonding portion 40 formed on the bonding surface 34 is covered by the peeling portion 42 formed on the bonding surface 34 as well. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide a release sheet, and the sound resulting from the release sheet can be eliminated. As a result, the sound when carrying or preparing for use of the absorbent article 30 can be reduced, and privacy can be maintained. Further, according to the present embodiment, since the bonding portions 40 do not overlap with each other, the sound generated when the bonding area 36 is peeled from the facing area 38, that is, the sound generated when preparing the absorbent article can be further reduced.

  Here, in order to simply eliminate the release sheet, it is also conceivable to use the entire bonding area 36 as the bonding portion and the entire facing area 38 as the peeling portion. However, in such a configuration, the formation range of the adhesive portion 40 is unevenly distributed in the bonding surface 34, and the absorbent article 30 can not be stably fixed to the clothes. According to the present embodiment, the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 are alternately formed in a stripe shape in both the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38. Therefore, the adhesion parts 40 can be distributed and arranged in a wide range, and the absorbent article 30 can be stably fixed to the garment 100.

  Moreover, the adhesion part 40 and the peeling part 42 are long in the peeling direction of the adhesion area 36 and the opposing area 38 in the direction orthogonal to the bending line L, in other words. With this configuration, it is possible to further reduce the sound (peeling sound) when peeling the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38. That is, when the adhesive portion 40 is peeled from the peeling portion 42, peeling noise is generated while being slightly. The peeling noise tends to occur at the peeling start end, and the magnitude thereof becomes larger as the peeling start edge is longer.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 15, when the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 are elongated in the direction orthogonal to the peeling direction, the peeling start end edge is the edge of one end in the minor axis direction of the bonding portion 40, That is, the edge is indicated by a thick line in FIG. Moreover, the edge of the short-axis direction end of the some adhesion part 40 is located in a line with predetermined pitch. Therefore, in the embodiment of FIG. 15, after the absorbent article 30 is folded in half along the bending line L, the bonding area 36 and the opposing area 38 are peeled in the direction orthogonal to the long axis direction of the bonding portion 40, Every time the peeling proceeds by a predetermined pitch, a relatively large peeling sound according to the length of the edge at one end in the minor axis direction of the bonding portion 40 is repeatedly generated.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, when the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 are elongated in the peeling direction, the peeling start end edge is the edge of one end in the long axis direction of the bonding portion 40, that is, FIG. It becomes an edge shown by a thick line in. The length of the edge at one longitudinal end is relatively short. Moreover, the edge of the longitudinal direction end of several adhesion part 40 exists in a comparatively near position. Therefore, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, when the adhesion area 36 and the opposing area 38 are peeled in the long axis direction of the adhesion section 40, the width of one edge of the adhesion section 40 in the long axis direction is Although relatively small noises are produced, peeling noises will hardly occur after that. As a result, compared to the mode shown in FIG. 15, the sound in preparation for use of the absorbent article 30 can be significantly reduced.

  However, even in the embodiment of FIG. 15, since the release sheet is not present, the sound caused by the release sheet can be eliminated. Therefore, the form of FIG. 15 may be adopted as appropriate.

  By the way, like this example, while providing the adhesion area 36 and the opposing area 38 corresponding to the said adhesion area 36 in the sticking surface 34 (absorbent article 30) together, the absorbent article 30 is folded and packaged. In this case, the absorbent article 30 needs to be folded so that the affixing surface 34 is on the inside, in other words, the skin contact surface 32 is on the outside. When the whole absorbent article 30 is taken out from the exterior body 12 in a state where the skin contact surface 32 is folded outward as described above, the skin contact surface 32 is exposed to the outside, which tends to cause a hygienic problem. Become.

  In this example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, by cutting off a part of the exterior body 12 with the absorbent article 30 housed in the exterior body 12, the vicinity of both ends in the major axis direction of the absorbent article 30 After exposing only the outside, in this state, both ends in the long axis direction of the absorbent article 30 are grasped together with the sheet material of the exterior body 12, and the absorbent article 30 is spread. With this configuration, the absorbent article 30 can be spread while the skin contact surface 32 is covered with the sheet material, and contamination and the like of the skin contact surface 32 can be more reliably prevented.

  Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 6 is a development view of an absorbent article 30 according to another embodiment, and FIG. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a packaged absorbent article 10. Moreover, FIGS. 8-10 is a figure which shows the flow which sticks the absorbent article 30 to the clothes 100. FIG. 7 to 10 indicate the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the absorbent article 30 is accommodated in the exterior body 12 in a substantially Z-folded state. The exterior body 12 is a substantially rectangular flat bag made of a non-woven sheet or a resin film as in the case of FIG. When the exterior body 12 is opened, the front sheet 14f of the exterior body 12 can be separated from the back sheet 14b.

  The absorbent article 30 is three-folded in a substantially Z-shape in the longitudinal direction as described above. That is, the absorbent article 30 is folded along the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2 set at positions where the absorbent article 30 is divided into three in the long axis direction. The 1st adhesion area 36a and the 1st opposing area 38a are provided in the both sides of the 1st bending line L1 among the sticking surfaces 34. As shown in FIG. A plurality of bonding parts 40 and peeling parts 42 are alternately formed in a stripe shape in the first bonding area 36 a and the first opposing area 38 a, respectively. Moreover, when each peeling part 42 and the adhesion part 40 are valley-folded along bending line L1, the adhesion part 40 of the 1st adhesion area 36a or the 1st opposing area 38a becomes the 1st opposing area 38a or the 1st adhering area It arrange | positions so that the peeling part 42 of 36a may be contact | abutted.

  Furthermore, the absorbent article 30 is provided with a second bonding area 36b at an end side position relative to the second bending line L2. Similarly to the first adhesion area 36a, the second adhesion area 36b is also an area in which a plurality of adhesion parts 40 and peeling parts 42 are alternately arranged in a stripe shape. The second bonding area 36b faces the inner surface of the front sheet 14f in the packaged state, as shown in FIG. A second facing area 38b is provided in a portion of the front sheet 14f facing the second bonding area 36b. The second facing area 38b is an area in which a plurality of bonding parts 40 and peeling parts 42 are alternately arranged in a stripe, as in the first facing area 38a. And the adhesion part 40 of the 2nd opposed area 38b contacts the exfoliation part 42 of the 1st adhesion area 36a, and the adhesion part 40 of the 2nd opposite area 38b contacts the exfoliation part 42 of the 1st adhesion area 36a. That is, in the present embodiment, there are two pairs of the adhesion area 36 and the facing area 38. Further, one of the two facing areas 38a and 38b (second facing area 38b) is provided not on the bonding surface 34 but on the inner surface of the exterior body 12.

  Next, the flow of attaching the absorbent article 30 to the clothes 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. When the absorbent article 30 is attached to the clothes 100, first, as shown in FIG. 8, the front sheet 14f of the exterior body 12 (the sheet on which the second opposing area 38b is formed) is removed from the exterior body 12 . Thereby, the 2nd adhesion area 36b is exposed outside. On the other hand, at this time, the skin contact surface 32 is not exposed to the outside because it is folded inward or covered with the back sheet 14b.

  In the state of FIG. 8, the second bonding area 36 b is pressed against the clothes 100, and the second bonding areas 36 b are bonded to the clothes 100. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 9, the end of the absorbent article 30 which is not adhered to the garment 100 is pinched together with the back sheet 14 b and pulled so as to spread the folded absorbent article 30. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 10, the 1st adhesion area 36a and the 1st opposing area 38a peel, and both area 36a, 38a opposes the clothes 100. As shown in FIG. In this state, the absorbent article 30 may be pressed against the clothes 100 from the upper side of the back sheet 14b, and the first bonding area 36a and the first opposing area 38a may be bonded to the clothes 100.

  As apparent from the above description, the packaged absorbent article 10 also has no release sheet in this embodiment. Therefore, the sound resulting from the release sheet can be eliminated, and the sound at the time of carrying or preparing for use of the absorbent article 30 can be reduced. Further, in this embodiment, since the absorbent article 30 is folded in three, the packaged absorbent article 10 can be miniaturized as compared with the embodiment of FIG.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the absorbent article 30 is folded so that a part of the bonding surface 34 is on the outside, and the second adhesion area 36 b is provided in the part on the outside. Then, when unsealing, a part (front sheet 14f) of the exterior body 12 is removed so that the second bonding area 36b (adhesion surface 34) is exposed to the outside. As a result, a part (the second adhesion area 36b) of the adhesive surface 34 can be adhered to the clothes 100 without exposing the skin contact surface 32 to the outside, and contamination of the skin contact surface 32 can be further improved. It can be prevented reliably.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the second facing area 38 b is provided in a part of the inner surface of the exterior body 12. In other words, the bonding portion 40 is provided on a part of the inner surface of the exterior body 12. In this case, the exterior body 12 after taking out the absorbent article 30 also has the bonding portion 40. The adhesive portion 40 can be used to keep the used absorbent article 30 in a rolled-up state by wrapping it with the exterior body 12.

  The configurations described so far are all examples, and one or more adhesion areas 36 are attached to the attachment surface 34 of the absorbent article 30, and one or more are attached to at least one of the attachment surface 34 or the outer surface of the exterior body 12. The other configuration may be changed as appropriate as long as the facing area 38 is formed. For example, although the shape of the absorbent article 30 is a substantially rounded rectangular shape up to now, the shape of the absorbent article 30 may be changed as appropriate. Then, depending on the shape of the absorbent article 30, the folding position of the absorbent article 30 at the time of packaging, and further, the formation position of the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38 may be changed.

  For example, some of the absorbent articles 30 have a substantially rounded rectangular main body 50 as shown in FIG. 11 and a pair of wing portions 52 projecting outward from the main body 50 in the width direction. . In the case of such an absorbent article 30, it is desirable that the pair of wing portions 52 be folded inward for size reduction at the time of packaging. That is, in FIG. 11, it is desirable that the absorbent article 30 be valley-folded along the first bending line L <b> 1 set in the vicinity of the boundary between the main body 50 and the wing 52. Moreover, it is desirable that not only the main body 50 but also the wing 52 be attached to the clothes 100 and fixed.

  Therefore, when the absorbent article 30 has the wing 52, as shown in FIG. 11, a boundary line between the wing 52 and the main body 50 in the bonding surface 34 (first bending line L1). It is desirable to provide bonding areas 36a, 36b and opposing areas 38a, 38b on either side of the At this time, it is desirable that each bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 be long in a direction (peeling direction) substantially orthogonal to the boundary line (first bending line L1).

  In addition, the absorbent article 30 may be further folded if the size is large simply by folding the wing portion 52. For example, the absorbent article 30 may be substantially fold folded so that both ends in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 30 are close to each other and the sticking surface 34 is inside. For example, in the example of FIG. 11, the absorbent article 30 may be valley-folded along two second fold lines L2 extending in the width direction. In such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 11, it is desirable to provide the adhesion areas 36c and 36d and the facing areas 38c and 38d on both sides of the second bending line L2.

  Moreover, although the absorbent article 30 mentioned so far the example which is a sanitary napkin, the absorbent article 30 may be not only a sanitary napkin but another kind of absorbent article. For example, the technology disclosed herein may be applied when the absorbent article 30 is a male incontinence pad, as shown in FIG. In this case, the absorbent article 30 (male incontinence pad) is roughly divided into a broad upper portion 54 and a narrower lower portion 56 than the upper portion 54. When packaging such an absorbent article 30, it is desirable to fold both sides of the upper portion 54 inward along the first fold line L1 so that the width is substantially constant. In addition, it is desirable that the longer lower portion 56 be folded in half along a second bending line L2 set approximately at the center of the lower portion 56. Then, on the bonding surface 34 of the absorbent article 30, bonding areas 36a to 36c and opposing areas 38a to 38c are provided on both sides of the respective bending lines L1 and L2. Moreover, as for the adhesion part 40 and the peeling part 42 provided in adhesion area 36a-36c and opposing area 38a-38c, it is desirable for all to be elongate in the direction substantially orthogonal to corresponding bending line L1, L2.

  With this configuration, the release sheet is not necessary, and thus the noise caused by the release sheet can be eliminated. Moreover, the sound at the time of peeling the adhesion area 36 and the opposing area 38 can also be reduced. As a result, the sound when carrying or preparing to use the absorbent article 30 can be reduced, and privacy can be kept high.

  Moreover, although at least one opposing area 38 is provided in the sticking surface 34 of the absorbent article 30 in the description so far, the opposing area 38 may not be provided in the sticking surface 34. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, the absorbent article 30 is folded in half so that the affixing surface 34 is on the outside, and the first adhesive area 36 a and the second adhesive area 36 a are provided on both sides of the bending line in the affixing surface 34. An adhesion area 36b may be provided. And, in this case, in the inner surface of the outer package 12, in the packaged state, the first opposing area 38a is at a position facing the first adhesion area 36a, and the second opposing area 38b is at a position facing the second adhesion area 36b. It should be provided. Even with this configuration, since the release sheet is unnecessary, it is possible to eliminate the sound caused by the release sheet. Moreover, when the opposing area 38 is provided in the inner surface of the exterior body 12, the exterior body 12 after taking out the absorbent article 30 also has the adhesion part 40. The adhesive portion 40 can be used to keep the used absorbent article 30 in a rolled-up state by wrapping it with the exterior body 12.

  Moreover, although the example which folds the absorbent article 30 was mentioned at the time of accommodating in the exterior body 12 in the description so far, the absorbent article 30 may be accommodated in the exterior body 12 without being folded. For example, in the case of a relatively small absorbent article 30 such as a side sweat pad, as shown in FIG. 14, it may be accommodated in the exterior body 12 without being folded. In this case, an adhesion area 36 is provided on the attachment surface 34 of the absorbent article 30, and an opposing area 38 is provided on the inner surface of the exterior body 12 at a position facing the adhesion area 36 in the packaged state. Here, in this case, as shown in FIG. 14, the bonding surface 34 may be provided with two bonding areas (a first bonding area 36a and a second bonding area 36b) spaced apart in the long axis direction. . In this case, it is desirable that the first sheet 14x in which the first opposing area 38a is formed among the sheets constituting the exterior body 12 can be separated from the second sheet 14y in which the second opposing area 38b is formed. With this configuration, the absorbent article 30 can be attached to the garment 100 in the manner of a bandage. That is, when using the absorbent article 30, first, the first sheet 14x is cut out to expose the first adhesion area 36a to the outside, and the first adhesive area 36a is adhered to the clothes 100, and then the second sheet 14y is separated. , And the second bonding area 36 b may be bonded to the clothes 100.

  Further, in order to reduce the peeling noise, it is desirable that each bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 be long in the peeling direction of the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38, but in some cases, as shown in FIG. The bonding portions 40 and the peeling portions 42 may be elongated in a direction substantially orthogonal to the peeling direction of the bonding area 36 and the facing area 38. Even with such a configuration, since the release sheet is not necessary, the sound at the time of carrying and preparation for use of the absorbent article 30 can be reduced.

  Moreover, until now, the adhesion part 40 and the peeling part 42 were both linear, and illustrated only the form in which both 40 and 42 were arranged in stripe form. However, if the bonding portion 40 of the bonding area 36 overlaps the peeling portion 42 of the facing area 38 and the peeling portion 42 of the bonding area 36 respectively over the bonding portion 40 of the facing area 38, the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion The shape and number of the elements 42 may be changed as appropriate, as shown in FIG.

  FIG. 16 shows an absorbent article 30 having non-linear adhesion portions 40 and peeling portions 42. In the example of FIG. 16, the absorbent article 30 is packaged in a valley-folded state at the first fold line L1 and the second fold line L2. A first bonding area 36a and a first opposing area 38a are formed on both sides of the first bending line L1. In the first bonding area 36a, a substantially triangular bonding portion 40a and a substantially triangular peeling portion 42a are formed. Similarly, in the first opposing area 38a, a substantially triangular peeling portion 42a that can overlap with the bonding portion 40a of the first bonding area 36a and a substantially triangular bonding portion that can overlap with the peeling portion 42a of the first bonding area 36a 40a are formed. And, even if the shapes of the bonding portion 40a and the peeling portion 42a are non-linear in this way, the bonding portions 40a do not overlap with each other, so the sound generated when peeling the bonding area 36a from the opposing area 38a The sound generated when preparing the absorbent article 30 can be further reduced.

  Moreover, the 2nd adhesion area 36b and the 2nd opposing area 38b are formed in the both sides of the 2nd bending line L2. Bonded portions 40b to 40f and peeled portions 42b and 42c having various shapes are provided in the second bonded area 36b and the second facing area 38b. For example, the bonding portion has a substantially fan shape (bonding portion 40b), a substantially oval shape (bonding portion 40c), a non-geometric shape (bonding portion 40d) along the outline of the absorbent article 30, or a substantially square (Adhesive part 40e), a dot shape (adhesive part 40f), etc. may be sufficient. Also, the peeling portion is not limited to linear, and may be rectangular (peeling portion 42b), substantially L-shaped (peeling portion 42c), or the like. As described above, by appropriately changing the shapes of the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42, it is possible to freely adjust the bonding strength, the peeling noise, and the like. In addition, by changing the shapes of the bonding portion 40 and the peeling portion 42 in accordance with the shape of the absorbent article 30, more appropriate bonding performance can be obtained on the bonding surface 34 of the absorbent article 30.

  Further, the number of bonding portions and peeling portions need not be the same, and one large peeling portion and a plurality of bonding portions may overlap. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, when being bent along the second bending line L2, the substantially L-shaped large peeling portion 42c and the three bonding portions 40b, 40c, and 40d may overlap. However, even in this case, the plurality of bonding portions 40 are provided in the space occupied by the peeling portion 42c so that the bonding portions 40b, 40c, and 40d do not directly abut the sticking surface 34 without the peeling portion 42c. Design to fit all

  Further, in one area 36, 38, the bonding portions 40 and the peeling portions 42 do not need to be alternately arranged, and a plurality of bonding portions 40 or peeling portions 42 may be continuously arranged. For example, as in the bonding parts 40 b to 40 d of FIG. 16, three bonding parts 40 may be arranged in the width direction.

  In any case, according to the embodiment described above, one or more adhesion areas 36 face the attachment surface 34 of the absorbent article 30 and one or more faces at least one of the adhesion surface 34 or the inner surface of the exterior body 12. An area 38 is formed, and the bonding portion 40 is in contact with the peeling portion 42. Therefore, a peeling sheet is unnecessary and the sound resulting from peeling can be eliminated. Moreover, since the adhesion part 40 is in contact with the peeling part 42, the sound at the time of peeling can be significantly reduced, and the sound at the time of preparation for use of the absorbent article 30 can be significantly reduced.
