Next, a case in which the absorbent article 10 is individually packaged will be described.

As shown in FIG. 2, before the absorbent article 10 is individually wrapped, the non-skin side surface of the absorbent article 10 (the non-skin side surface of the back sheet 12) is placed on the back surface of the packaging sheet 20. 20b, it is releasably adhered to the packaging sheet 20 via the adhesive layer 14 of the back sheet 12. In this state, regions 23 on both sides of the packaging sheet 20 in the width direction (regions 23 on the outer side in the width direction than the dashed line in FIG. 2) extend further outward than the absorbent article 10 in the width direction. When individually wrapping the absorbent article 10, first, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 11, fold back as shown by the white arrow. Next, the absorbent article 10 is rolled together with the packaging sheet 20 from the other side in the longitudinal direction (lower side in FIG. 2) so that the top sheet 11 is on the inside to form a roll body 30. The other end of the absorbent article 10 in the longitudinal direction is located on the center side of the roll body 30. Finally, the tab tape 22 at one end 21 in the longitudinal direction of the packaging sheet 20 is fixed to a region of the surface 20a of the packaging sheet 20 that faces the inside of the tab tape 22 in the radial direction. Thereby, the absorbent article package 1 in which the absorbent article 10 is enclosed in the packaging sheet 20 can be obtained.

When the absorbent article 10 is individually packaged, as shown in FIG. 1, the surface 20a of the packaging sheet 20 becomes the outer peripheral surface of the roll body 30, and the calyx pattern d1 and the petal pattern d2 on the surface 20a of the packaging sheet 20 are formed. As a result, the roll body 30 itself (absorbent article package 1 itself) looks like a flower O (or a bud of a flower O).

In the absorbent article package 1 configured as described above, the maximum length L1 of the absorbent article 10 in the longitudinal direction is 100 mm or more and 500 mm or less, and the maximum length L2 of the absorbent article 10 in the width direction is 40 mm or more. 150 mm or less, and the thickness of the absorbent article 10 in an unloaded state is 1 mm or more and 4 mm or less.

Furthermore, since the absorbent article 10 is packaged in a roll, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of folding of the absorbent article 10 and prevent the absorber 13 from being separated. Furthermore, since the absorbent article 10 is packaged in a roll, the skin-side surface of the absorbent article 10 can be made into an appropriately curved surface during use. Therefore, the absorbent article 10 is easy to wear and provides an excellent feel when worn.

Furthermore, since the regions 23 on both sides in the width direction of the packaging sheet 20 are folded back onto the top sheet 11 of the absorbent article 10 on the inner side in the width direction, the absorbent article 10 to be packed inside is folded back on the outer side in the width direction by the packaging sheet 20. It can be covered from In this way, since the absorbent article 10 contained therein can be covered by the packaging sheet 20 from the outside in the width direction, hygiene can be ensured, and deterioration in cosmetic properties (external appearance) can be suppressed.

Moreover, since the absorbent article 10 can be covered with the packaging sheet 20 from the outside in the width direction without sealing both ends of the packaging sheet 20 in the width direction, the regions 23 on both sides of the packaging sheet 20 in the width direction can be folded. Unlike the case of sealing without sealing, the length of the absorbent article package 1 in the width direction can be suppressed, and the absorbent articles 10 can be individually packaged in a compact manner.

Further, since it is not necessary to seal both ends of the packaging sheet 20 in the width direction, the number of sealing steps can be reduced.
