Hereinafter, a sanitary napkin will be described as an example of the absorbent article according to the present embodiment. However, the absorbent article is not limited to sanitary napkins, and other absorbent articles include, for example, panty liners, incontinence pads, disposable diapers and the like.

=== Basic configuration of sanitary napkin 1 ===
FIG. 1 is a plan view of a sanitary napkin 1 (hereinafter, also referred to as a “napkin”) as viewed from the skin side. FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the napkin 1 along the front-rear direction. The napkin 1 has a front-rear direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction orthogonal to each other. In the anterior-posterior direction, the ventral side of the wearer is the anterior side, and the dorsal side of the wearer is the posterior side. The side that comes into contact with the wearer's skin in the thickness direction is the skin side, and the opposite side is the non-skin side.

The napkin 1 has an absorber 2, a skin side sheet 3, an intermediate sheet 4, a non-skin side sheet 5, a pair of side sheets 6, and a warming agent holding sheet 7 on which the warming agent 30 is arranged.

The skin-side sheet 3 is a liquid-permeable sheet arranged on the skin side of the absorber 2. The intermediate sheet 4 is a liquid-permeable sheet arranged between the skin-side sheet 3 and the absorber 2. Examples of the liquid-permeable sheet include non-woven fabrics and perforated films. The non-skin side sheet 5 is a liquid impermeable sheet arranged on the non-skin side of the absorber 2. Examples of the non-skin side sheet 5 include a synthetic resin film and the like. By using the non-skin side sheet 5 as a non-breathable sheet such as a synthetic resin film, the air warmed by the effect of the warming agent 30 is less likely to dissipate. The side sheet 6 is a sheet extending outward from both sides of the skin side sheet 3 in the width direction of the skin side surface. Examples of the side sheet 6 include the same flexible non-woven fabric and hydrophobic non-woven fabric as the skin side sheet 3.

The absorber 2 has an absorption core and a liquid-permeable core wrap sheet that covers the absorption core. Examples of the absorption core include those obtained by adding a highly absorbent polymer (SAP) to liquid absorbent fibers such as pulp fibers and cellulosic absorbent fibers and molding them into a predetermined shape. The absorber does not have to have a core wrap sheet.

Further, the napkin 1 is divided into a front region 1A on the front side of the front end 2a of the absorber 2 and a rear region 1B on the rear side of the front region 1A in the front-rear direction. The warming agent holding sheet 7 is mainly arranged in the front region 1A. In the napkin 1 illustrated in FIG. 1, the rear end portion of the warming agent holding sheet 7 overlaps with the front end portion of the absorber 2 and is arranged in the rear region 1B. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear end of the warming agent holding sheet 7 may be in contact with the front end 2a of the absorber 2 or may be separated from the front end side.

As shown in FIG. 2, the warming agent holding sheet 7 of the present embodiment is configured by laminating three sheets in the thickness direction. Further, the warming agent holding sheet 7 is arranged on the non-skin side of the intermediate sheet 4 and the absorber 2 and on the skin side of the non-skin side sheet 5. However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the warming agent holding sheet 7 may be composed of one sheet or a plurality of sheets other than the three sheets may be laminated.

The rear region 1B of the napkin 1 has a generally general shape of a sanitary napkin, and has a pair of wing portions 1w extending outward in the width direction at a central portion in the front-rear direction. The wing portion 1w is formed by a side sheet 6 and a non-skin side sheet 5. Further, in the rear region 1B, a region slightly forward in the center in the front-rear direction (the center of the wing portion 1w in the front-rear direction) is assumed to come into contact with the wearer's excretion port. The napkin does not have to have a wing portion.

The shape of the front region 1A of the napkin 1 is not particularly limited, and is, for example, a triangle, a rectangle, a polygon (including a case where the corners are round or a case where the sides are curved), a circle, an ellipse, a shape of a living thing, or a combination thereof. Can be mentioned. The front region 1A of the present embodiment has a width larger than the maximum width of the rear region 1B excluding the pair of wing portions 1w. Further, the front region 1A has a substantially triangular shape whose width narrows from the front end portion to the rear end portion. The warming agent holding sheet 7 also has a substantially triangular shape, which is a similar reduction in the shape of the front region 1A. However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the warming agent holding sheet 7 may have a rectangular shape or the like, and may have a shape different from that of the front region 1A.

Further, the napkin 1 has a pressing portion 20 in which at least one of the absorber 2 and the skin side sheet 3 is recessed in the thickness direction thereof. The squeezed portion 20 can prevent the absorber 2 from losing its shape and improve the liquid diffusibility of the napkin 1. Although not shown, it is assumed that the squeezed portion 20 of the rear region 1B of the present embodiment is squeezed from the skin side from the skin side sheet 3 to the absorber 2. In addition to the squeezed portion 20, a squeezed portion in which only the absorber 2 is squeezed may be provided. Further, in the squeezed portion 20 of the front region 1A in which the absorber 2 does not exist, it is assumed that the skin side sheet 3 and the warming agent holding sheet 7 are squeezed from the skin side.

In the squeezed portion 20, the thickness of the napkin 1 is thinner than that of the surroundings, and the fiber density of the napkin 1 is high. These comparisons should be made by a well-known method. As a comparison of the thickness of the napkin 1, a method of visual comparison or a dial thickness gauge ID-C1012C manufactured by Mitutoyo Co., Ltd. or an equivalent one is used, and the target site is pressurized at, for example, 3.0 gf / cm ^2. It is possible to exemplify a method of acquiring and comparing the measured values. As a comparison of the density of the napkin 1, a method of comparing a cross section of the napkin 1 cut in the thickness direction based on an enlarged image with an electron microscope or the like can be exemplified.

The pressing portion 20 may be a (groove-shaped) pressing portion that is continuously recessed in the thickness direction in the front-rear direction or the width direction, or a point-shaped pressing portion that is discontinuously recessed in the thickness direction. There may be. As shown in FIG. 1, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment includes a squeezing portion 21 in which punctate squeezing portions are discretely arranged, a squeezing portion 22 in which punctate squeezing portions are arranged in a line, The squeezing portion 23 is arranged so that the punctate squeezing portions form a pattern (for example, bear's eyes or nose), and the squeezing portion 24 is squeezed in the shape of a character.

=== Individual wrapping body 80 of napkin 1 (absorbent article wrapping body) ===
FIG. 3 is a plan view of the individual package 80 (hereinafter, also referred to as “individual package”) of the napkin 1. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the individual package 80 being developed. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the individually wrapped body 80 in the unfolded state.

The individual package 80 includes a napkin 1, a packaging material 81 for packaging the napkin 1 (for example, a synthetic resin film, etc.), and a fastening tape 82. As shown in FIG. 5, the napkin 1 is arranged on the inner side surface of the packaging material 81 with the skin side surface facing up, and the napkin 1 is folded together with the packaging material 81. Further, the longitudinal direction of the packaging material 81 corresponds to the front-rear direction of the napkin 1, and the width direction of the packaging material 81 corresponds to the width direction of the napkin 1. Further, the side of the packaging material 81 to which the fastening tape 82 is attached (that is, the side of the opening end 80a of the individual packaging body 80) corresponds to the front side of the napkin 1.

The individual package 80 has two folding portions F1 and F2 along the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 and two folding portions F3 and F4 along the width direction of the napkin 1 as folding portions at the time of packaging. The folded portions F1 and F2 along the front-rear direction fold the napkin 1 so that both side portions in the width direction overlap with the central portion. Further, the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction fold the napkin 1 so that the front portion and the rear portion overlap with the central portion.

When the wearer grasps the fastening tape 82 and unfolds the folds at the folding portions F3 and F4 along the width direction when using the napkin 1, the individual package 80 is in the state shown in FIG. Further, when the wearer unfolds the folds at the fold portions F1 and F2 along the front-rear direction, the individual package 80 is in the state shown in FIG. However, the folding method of the individual package 80 is not limited to the above.

=== Warming agent placement area 31 ===
FIG. 6 is an explanatory view of the warming agent arrangement region 31 (311) on the skin side sheet 3. FIG. 7 is an explanatory view of the warming agent arrangement region 31 (312) in the warming agent holding sheet 7. The napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a warming agent placement region 31 (placement region) in which the warming agent 30 is arranged. Since an agent that exerts a function other than the absorption performance, such as the warming agent 30, is arranged on the napkin 1, the napkin 1 can have another function in addition to the absorption performance of the absorber 2. .. The warming agent 30 (an agent that exerts a predetermined function) is arranged by various known coating methods such as a spray method, a roller coating method, and a brush coating method, a method of immersing a sheet, and particles. Examples thereof include a method of mixing the same agent with the fibers of the sheet.

The warming agent 30 contains, for example, a warming component that activates a TRP channel (temperature receptor (heat sensory receptor)) and a solvent component. The arrangement of the warming agent 30 on the napkin 1 stimulates the TRP channel of the wearer of the napkin 1. As a result, heat is generated from the contact portion of the warming agent 30 via the sympathetic nervous system, and it can be expected that the temperature of the contact portion of the warming agent 30 is raised. As described above, since the warming agent 30 is different from the exothermic agent that generates heat by itself, it is unlikely to cause low-temperature burns. Further, since the adhesive portion (not shown) for attaching the napkin 1 to the underwear is difficult to soften, the adhesive portion is unlikely to remain on the underwear when the napkin 1 is removed from the underwear, which is preferable.

The warming component is not particularly limited as long as it activates the TRP channel, and may be in a liquid state or a solid state (including a paste form, a powder form, etc.). In addition, the warming component is preferably a plant-derived compound from the viewpoint of the wearer's sense of security. Examples of the warming stimulant include capsicoside, capsaicin (LD50: 47 mg / kg, molecular weight: 305), capsaicinoids (dihydrocapsaicin, nordihydrocapsaicin, homodihydrocapsaicin, homocapsaicin, nonibamide, etc.), capsantin, and benzyl nicotinate. (LD50: 2,188 mg / kg, molecular weight: 213), β-butoxyethyl nicotinate, N-acylwanylamide, vanillyl amide nonanoic acid, polyhydric alcohol, pepper powder, pepper tincture, pepper extract, vanillyl ether nonanoate , Vanillyl alcohol alkyl ether derivatives (for example, vanillyl ethyl ether, vanillyl butyl ether (LD50: 4,900 mg / kg, molecular weight: 210), vanillyl pentyl ether, vanillyl hexyl ether), isovanillyl alcohol alkyl ether, Ethyl vanillyl alcohol alkyl ether, veratrial alcohol derivative, substituted benzyl alcohol derivative, substituted benzyl alcohol alkyl ether, vanillyl propylene glycol acetal, ethyl vanillyl propylene glycol acetal, ginger extract, ginger oil, diingerol (LD50: 250 mg / kg, molecular weight: 294), dihydrocapsaicin, hesperidin, and pyrrolidone carboxylic acids, and any combination thereof.

The solvent component is not particularly limited as long as it can contain a warming component, and examples thereof include a lipophilic solvent and a hydrophilic solvent. Such a solvent component can dissolve or disperse a warming component. Examples of the lipophilic solvent include fats and oils, for example, natural oils (for example, fatty acid esters such as triglycerides, coconut oil, linseed oil, tri (capril / capric acid) glyceryl, etc.), hydrocarbons (for example, paraffin, for example, liquid paraffin). And so on. Examples of the hydrophilic solvent include water and alcohol. Examples of the alcohol include lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, ethylene glycol and glycerin, higher alcohols such as capryl alcohol, lauryl alcohol and myristyl alcohol. Among them, as the solvent component, fats and oils (lipophilic solvent) or alcohols (hydrophilic solvent) are preferable from the viewpoint of easy control of volatility, particularly easy reduction of volatility. Further, in the napkin 1, the solvent component is preferably a lipophilic solvent from the viewpoint of not easily inhibiting the absorbability.

From the viewpoint of the warming effect, the concentration of the warming component in the warming agent 30 is preferably 1 to 70% by mass, more preferably 10 to 60% by mass, and further preferably 20 to 55% by mass. Further, from the viewpoint of giving a warm feeling to the wearer, in the napkin 1, the basis weight of the warm feeling component in the warming agent 30 is preferably 0.001 to 40 g / m ² , more preferably 0.1 to 1. a 30 g / ^{m 2,} more preferably may is from 1 to 20 g / ^{m 2.}

In the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the skin side sheet 3 and the warming agent holding sheet 7 are provided with warming agent arranging regions 311, 312, respectively. The skin side sheet 3 and the warming agent holding sheet 7 are not particularly limited as long as they can hold the warming agent 30, and examples thereof include non-woven fabrics.

As shown in FIG. 2, the warming agent arrangement region 311 of the skin side sheet 3 is provided on the non-skin side surface of the skin side sheet 3. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the warming agent arrangement region 311 has a pair of band-shaped arrangement regions 311A along the front-rear direction on both sides of the central portion (about 20 mm in width) in the width direction of the napkin 1. The band-shaped arrangement region 311A is continuously provided from the position of the upper end portion of the warming agent holding sheet 7 to the position of the rear end portion of the wing portion 1w in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

As shown in FIG. 2, the warming agent arranging region 312 of the warming agent holding sheet 7 is provided on the skin side surface of the sheet 7a located on the skin side closest to the three sheets. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the warming agent 30 is provided in the entire area of the warming agent holding sheet 7, and the entire area of the warming agent holding sheet 7 is the warming agent arranging region 312.

However, the warming agent arrangement areas 311, 312 are not limited to the size, shape and arrangement shown in the figure. Further, the warming agent 30 may be arranged in the entire area of the warming agent arrangement areas 311, 312 (with a solid coating), or the warming agent 30 is arranged in various known patterns such as a stripe pattern and a spiral pattern. You may be.

Further, the warming agent 30 is not arranged at a place where it comes into direct contact with the wearer's skin. However, when the warming agent 30 elutes or volatilizes when worn, it reaches the wearer's skin. The warmth component that reaches the wearer's skin activates the wearer's TRP channel, giving the wearer a warmth.

Further, if the warming agent 30 is arranged in the region corresponding to the vaginal opening which is sensitive during menstruation, the wearer may feel the stimulation of the warming agent 30 as pain. Therefore, it is preferable not to arrange the warming agent 30 at the center of the skin-side sheet 3 in the width direction. That is, it is preferable that the warming agent 30 is not arranged at the central portion in the width direction of the region of the napkin 1 that abuts on the lower crotch of the wearer. By doing so, the irritation to the vaginal opening by the warming agent 30 can be suppressed, and the pain caused by the warming agent 30 can be prevented. Further, since the warming agent 30 is not arranged in the region of the napkin 1 corresponding to the vaginal opening, it is possible to prevent the warming agent 30 from inhibiting the absorption of menstrual blood, and the absorption capacity of the napkin 1 is secured. ..

=== Display unit 40 indicating the front-back direction ===
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a warming agent arrangement region 31 in the napkin 1. That is, the warming agent placement region 31 in which the warming agent placement region 311 on the skin side sheet 3 and the warming agent placement region 312 on the warming agent holding sheet 7 are combined is shown. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a display unit 44 in a modified example. FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a non-skin side surface of the napkin 1. FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an outer surface of the packaging material 81.

The napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a front region 1A, and has a long and wide shape on the front side as compared with the shape of a general napkin 1. When the napkin 1 is attached so that the excretion port contact area of the napkin 1 corresponds to the excretion port of the wearer, the front area 1A of the napkin 1 corresponds to the lower abdomen of the wearer. Since the wearer's lower abdomen is covered with the anterior region 1A, the wearer's lower abdomen can be warmed as compared with the napkin 1 which does not have the anterior region 1A.

Further, a warming agent arrangement region 31 is provided in the front region 1A. Therefore, the warming agent 30 activates the TRP channel of the wearer's lower abdomen, and can give a warm feeling to the wearer's lower abdomen. By warming the wearer's lower abdomen, that is, the part near the wearer's uterus, it is expected to relieve the wearer's menstrual pain and alleviate symptoms such as premenstrual syndrome, poor circulation, and menopause. To.

As described above, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a configuration intended to warm the lower abdomen of the wearer. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the warming agent placement region 31 is unevenly arranged on the front side of the napkin 1, and the warming agent placement region 31 is not arranged on the rear portion of the napkin 1. That is, the warming agent arrangement region 31 is arranged asymmetrically with respect to the center 1c in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

However, if the napkin 1 is attached upside down and the napkin 1 is attached so that the front region 1A of the napkin 1 corresponds to the buttocks of the wearer, the lower abdomen of the wearer cannot be warmed, and the above-mentioned The effect will not be obtained. In particular, as a napkin for night use, a napkin having a long and wide shape on the rear side is known so as to widely cover the buttocks of the wearer in order to prevent back leakage. The shape of such a night napkin is similar to the shape of the napkin 1 of the present embodiment inverted. Therefore, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment may be mounted upside down.

Therefore, the napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a display unit 40 indicating the front-rear direction of the napkin 1, which can be visually recognized from the skin surface side of the napkin 1. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the bear symbol 41 formed by the squeezing portion 20 corresponds to the display portion 40. The vertical direction of the bear symbol 41 is along the front-rear direction of the napkin 1, and the head side (upper side) of the bear symbol 41 corresponds to the front side of the napkin 1. A wearer who sees the bear symbol 41 when wearing the napkin 1 can intuitively recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1 and attach the napkin 1 so that the head side of the bear symbol 41 is located on the ventral side of the bear symbol 41. That is, the wearer can quickly turn the napkin in the correct front-back direction without considering the front-back direction of the napkin 1 according to the function of the napkin 1, such as trying to move the wide front region 1A to the front side in order to warm the lower abdomen. 1 can be installed. As a result, the anterior region 1A of the napkin 1 can be made to correspond to the wearer's lower abdomen, and the wearer's lower abdomen can be warmed.

The display unit 40 is not particularly limited as long as it can indicate the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. It may be a symbol having a vertical direction (for example, an animal, a plant, a vehicle, etc.) like the bear symbol 41, a character (for example, "mae", etc.), a number, a symbol having a vertical direction, or a combination thereof. (The same applies to the second display unit 50 and the third display unit 60, which will be described later). However, the design of the napkin 1 is improved by indicating the front-back direction of the napkin 1 with a design. Further, the display unit 40 may be a design or character having a vertical direction and may indicate the horizontal direction of the napkin 1. For example, by providing a character such as "Hidari" or a pattern indicating the left hand on the left side portion of the napkin 1, the wearer can recognize the front-back direction as well as the left-right direction of the napkin 1.

The napkin 1 of the present embodiment has a display unit 40 in addition to the bear symbol 41. One is the letter 42 "HOT" formed by the squeezing section 20. The other is the bear's leg (paw) design 43. The napkin 1 may have one display unit 40, but when the napkin 1 has a plurality of display units 40, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

Further, the vertical direction of the display unit 40 is not limited to being parallel along the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. That is, the vertical direction of the display unit 40 may be tilted by less than 90 degrees with respect to the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 (the same applies to the second display unit 50 and the third display unit 60, which will be described later).

Further, the pressing portion 20 is not limited to forming the display portion 40. For example, the display portion 40 may be formed by the pattern of the welded portions 8 for fixing the side sheet 6 to both side portions in the width direction of the skin side sheet 3. Further, the display unit 40 may be printed with ink. In that case, the display unit 40 may be visible from the skin surface side, and the display unit 40 is not limited to printing on the skin side surface of the skin side sheet 3.

Further, the display unit 40 may be arranged at any position on the plane of the napkin 1, and the warming agent arrangement region 31 and the display unit 40 may not overlap in the thickness direction of the napkin 1. However, the wearer can easily see the front area 1A of the napkin 1 when the napkin 1 is attached to the underwear. Therefore, since the display unit 40 is arranged in the front region 1A of the napkin 1, the wearer can wear the napkin 1 on the underwear while checking the display unit 40.

Further, the warming agent placement region 31 is not limited to the region shown in FIG. 8, and the warming agent placement region 31 is asymmetrical in shape, size, and position with respect to the center 1c in the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. It may be an arrangement. For example, the warming agent 30 may be arranged on both the front portion and the rear portion of the napkin 1. By arranging the warming agent 30 at the rear part of the napkin 1, the waist part of the wearer can be warmed, and back pain can be expected to be alleviated. In addition, the warming agent 30 may not be arranged in the front portion of the napkin 1, the warming agent 30 may be arranged in the rear portion, or the warming agent 30 may not be arranged in the central portion of the napkin 1. .. Further, the warming agent 30 is not limited to being placed on the skin side sheet 3 and the warming agent holding sheet 7, but is also placed on any of the materials constituting the napkin 1 (for example, the absorber 2 or the intermediate sheet 4). I just need to be there.

The following method can be considered as a method for confirming that the agents exhibiting a predetermined function, such as the warming agent 30, are arranged asymmetrically. For example, it is a method of decomposing the materials of the napkin 1 laminated in the thickness direction by using a cold spray or the like, sprinkling colored fine particles such as bamboo charcoal and cocoa powder on each material, and then wiping the particles. Since many particles adhere to the portion where the warming agent 30 is arranged, the area where the warming agent 30 is arranged can be specified.

In addition, a large number of fine samples of a predetermined size may be cut out from the napkin 1 in the front-rear direction and the width direction, and a sensory test may be performed. For example, a cut-out sample is applied to the upper arm of the inspector, and a highly airtight sheet such as a PE sheet is placed on the sample. The inspector measures and records the time until the sample feels the warmth effect. The measurement time of each sample is compared, and the position of the napkin 1 from which the sample having the short measurement time is cut out can be specified as the arrangement area of the warming agent 30.

Further, in the individually packaged body 80 (FIG. 5) in the unfolded state, the napkin 1 is arranged on the packaging material 81 so that the side where the fastening tape 82 is located corresponds to the front side of the napkin 1. Many users recognize that the side on which the fastening tape 82 is located is the front side of the napkin 1. Therefore, by arranging the napkin 1 on the packaging material 81 as shown in FIG. 5, the napkin 1 can be easily mounted in the correct front-rear direction. Further, even a user who does not recognize the relationship between the fastening tape 82 and the napkin 1 in the front-rear direction can easily attach the napkin 1 in the correct front-rear direction because the napkin 1 of the present embodiment has the display unit 40. Become.

Further, the display unit 44 included in the napkin 1 of the modified example shown in FIG. 9 has a plurality of portions. Specifically, the display unit 44 has a bear head symbol 441, a bow tie symbol 442, and a bear leg (paw) symbol 443 from the front side. The whole body of the bear is represented by these three symbols 441 to 443. In this case, it is preferable that two or more of the plurality of portions 441 to 443 of the display unit 44 each indicate the front-rear direction. In the display unit 44 shown in FIG. 9, the bear head symbol 441 and the bear leg symbol 443 indicate the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. By doing so, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1, and the napkin 1 can be easily worn in the correct front-back direction.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, it is preferable that the display unit 40 does not straddle the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction at the time of packaging. Further, in the case of the display unit 44 (FIG. 9) of the modified example, it is preferable that the plurality of portions 441 to 443 of the display unit 44 do not straddle the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction at the time of packaging. Further, the display unit 40 shown in FIG. 5 does not straddle the folded portions F1 and F2 along the front-rear direction at the time of packaging.

Since the display units 40 and 44 do not straddle the folded portions F1 to F4 in this way, it is possible to prevent the display units 40 and 44 from becoming difficult to see due to wrinkles generated in the folded portions F1 to F4. Therefore, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1, and the napkin 1 can be easily worn in the correct front-back direction.

Since the napkin 1 has a thickness, the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction are regions having a width in the front-rear direction, and the folded portions F1 and F2 along the front-rear direction are regions having a width in the width direction. Become. In the present specification, the position of the apex of the folded portions F1 to F4 bent in a mountain shape is defined as the center line of the folded portions F1 to F4. Specifically, when a weight (for example, 200 g) is placed on the flat surface of the individual packaging body 80 via a plate larger than the flat surface of the individual packaging body 80, the position where the individual packaging body 80 protrudes most is the folded portion. Obtained as the center line of F1 to F4. Then, the maximum thickness t of the folded portions F1 to F4 of the napkin 1 in the unfolded state is acquired. The regions separated by πt / 2 from the center line of the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction on both sides in the front-rear direction are referred to as folded portions F3 and F4. Further, regions separated by πt / 2 from the center line of the folded portions F1 and F2 along the front-rear direction on both sides in the width direction are referred to as folded portions F1 and F2. The thickness t of the napkin 1 is obtained as a value measured by using, for example, a dial thickness gauge ID-C1012C manufactured by Mitutoyo Co., Ltd. or an equivalent one, and pressurizing the target site at, for example, 3.0 gf / cm ^2. Be done.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 9, the display units 40 and 44 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line CL that divides the napkin 1 into two in the width direction. In this way, the display units 40 and 44 preferably straddle the center line CL. By doing so, the display units 40 and 44 are displayed as a display indicating the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 as compared with the case where the display units 40 and 44 are biased to one side in the width direction of the center line CL. It becomes easy to be recognized by.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the napkin 1 has a second display unit 50 indicating the front-back direction of the napkin 1, which is visible from the non-skin surface side of the napkin 1. Specifically, the second display unit 50 is a bear symbol 51, a character 52 (KeepWarming or the like) indicating the warmth of the napkin 1, and a bear leg (paw) symbol 53. The upper side of the second display unit 50 having the vertical direction corresponds to the front side of the napkin 1.

Therefore, the wearer can easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1 by looking at the second display portion 50 on the non-skin side surface of the napkin 1 before removing the napkin 1 from the packaging material 81 and attaching it to the underwear. After that, the wearer looks at the display portion 40 on the skin side surface of the napkin 1 and attaches the napkin 1 to the underwear. Therefore, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1, and the napkin 1 can be easily worn in the correct front-back direction.

Further, in FIG. 10, all of the plurality of second display units 50 indicate the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. However, the vertical direction of the second display unit 50 may not be parallel along the front-rear direction, and the inclination of each of the plurality of second display units 50 with respect to the front-rear direction may be different.

Further, the second display unit 50 may be visible from the non-skin surface side of the napkin 1, for example, printed on the non-skin side surface or skin side surface of the non-skin side sheet 5, the non-skin side surface of the absorber 2, and the like. It should be done. Further, the second display portion 50 may be formed by the squeezed portion in which the napkin 1 is squeezed from the non-skin side.

Further, in the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the color of the warming agent holding sheet 7 is different from that of the other materials constituting the napkin 1. Specifically, while the color of the main material constituting the napkin 1 is white, the warming agent holding sheet 7 is a warm color indicating warmth (pink, red, orange, yellow, etc.). It is colored in. The color of the warming agent holding sheet 7 can be visually recognized from the skin surface side of the napkin 1 via the skin side sheet 3. Therefore, since the front region 1A of the colored napkin 1 is conspicuous, the wearer can easily pay attention to the front region 1A. Further, the wearer can easily recognize the warmth function of the napkin 1 by visually recognizing the front region 1A colored in a warm color.

The display unit 40 of the present embodiment is provided at a position overlapping the warming agent holding sheet 7 in the thickness direction of the napkin 1. That is, the display unit 40 is provided in the portion colored in a warm color. Further, the display unit 40 is formed by the pressing unit 20. Therefore, in the display unit 40, the warm colors are darker than the surroundings due to the shadows due to the dents and the densification of the fibers.

As described above, it is preferable that the display unit 40 has a color different from that of the surroundings. By doing so, the display unit 40 stands out, and the wearer can easily pay attention to the display unit 40. Therefore, the napkin 1 can be easily attached in the correct front-back orientation. The difference in color from the surroundings means that there is a color difference that can be identified when the user visually recognizes the napkin 1, and it is assumed that the color difference due to the shade of the same color is also included as described above. By forming the display unit by printing, the color of the display unit and the surrounding color may be different. Further, even when the warming agent holding sheet 7 is white, the display portion 40 formed by the pressing portion 20 has a different color due to a difference in shade from the surroundings, but the warming agent holding sheet 7 is colored. The display unit 40 is more conspicuous when there is one.

As shown in FIG. 11, the packaging material 81 of the napkin 1 has a plurality of decorations 83 such as patterns and characters. Specifically, the packaging material 81 has a bear pattern, warmth characters (KeepWarming, etc.), and a bear leg (paw) pattern as the decoration 83. A part of the plurality of decorations 83 included in the packaging material 81 is a third display unit 60 indicating the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. In the napkin 1 of the present embodiment, the third display unit is in a state where the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction of the napkin 1 are unfolded (FIG. 4), that is, when the napkin 1 is folded in the front-rear direction. Make 60 visible. In this case, the third display unit 60 is visible from the outer surface side of the packaging material 81.

The vertical direction of the third display unit 60 is along the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 in the unfolded individual package 80 (FIG. 4), and the upper side of the third display unit 60 is stopped at the front side of the napkin 1 (packing material 81). It corresponds to the side to which the wearing tape 82 is attached). Since the packaging material 81 has the third display unit 60 in this way, the wearer can easily recognize the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 by looking at the third display unit 60 while deploying the individual packaging body 80. Become. After that, the wearer looks at the display portion 40 on the skin side surface of the napkin 1 and attaches the napkin 1 to the underwear. Therefore, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1, and the napkin 1 can be easily worn in the correct front-back direction.

In FIG. 4, all of the plurality of third display units 60 indicate the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. However, the vertical direction of the third display unit 60 does not have to be parallel along the front-rear direction, and the inclination of each of the plurality of third display units 60 with respect to the front-rear direction may be different. Further, the third display unit 60 may be printed on the inner side surface or the outer side surface of the packaging material 81. Further, the third display portion 60 may be formed by the squeezed portion obtained by squeezing the packaging material 81.

Further, in the individual package 80 before unfolding, the napkin 1 is folded in the front-rear direction, and it is difficult for the wearer to be aware of the front-back direction of the napkin 1. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the individual package 80 (FIG. 3) before unfolding and the individual package 80 (FIG. 4) in which the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction are unfolded are used to decorate the packaging material 81. The arrangement of is different.

In the individual package 80 (FIG. 3) before unfolding, the vertical orientation of the decoration 83 such as the bear pattern and characters is different. On the other hand, in the unfolded individual package 80 (FIG. 4), the orientations of the decoration 83 (third display unit 60) in the vertical direction are aligned. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, on both side portions of the packaging material 81 in the width direction, the upper side of each of the plurality of decorations 83 (third display unit 60) faces the fastening tape 82 side in the longitudinal direction of the packaging material 81. It is complete. On the other hand, in the central portion of the packaging material 81 in the width direction, the upper side thereof faces one side in the longitudinal direction or the other side in the longitudinal direction due to the decoration 83.

As described above, it is preferable that the third display unit 60 is visible in a state where the folded portions F3 and F4 along the width direction of the napkin 1 are unfolded once or more. By doing so, the wearer can visually recognize the third display unit 60 in a state where the napkin 1 is folded in the front-rear direction (FIG. 4). Therefore, the wearer can more easily recognize that the third display unit 60 indicates the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

Further, the third display unit 60 may be visible in a state where all the folded portions F1 to F4 of the individual packaging body 80 are unfolded (FIG. 5). That is, the third display portion 60 visible from the inner side surface side of the packaging material 81 may indicate the front-rear direction of the napkin 1 together with the skin side surface of the napkin 1.
In this case, since the third display portion 60 on the inner surface of the packaging material 81 and the display portion 40 on the skin side surface of the napkin 1 are visually recognized at the same time, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

FIG. 12 is a plan view of the individual package 80 of the modified example in the process of being developed. The method of folding the individual package 80 is not limited to that illustrated in the present embodiment. For example, the napkin 1 may be an individual package that does not have a folded portion along the front-rear direction but has only a folded portion along the width direction and is folded in three or in four. In that case, it is preferable that the third display portion is visually recognized with the folded portion along the width direction expanded once or more. FIG. 12 shows a state in which the folded portion F along the width direction of the individual package 80 of the modified example folded in three is unfolded once. The decoration 83 of the packaging material 81 (outer surface) visually recognized together with the napkin 1 in this state corresponds to the third display unit 60. That is, it is preferable that the vertical direction of the decoration 83 of the packaging material 81 is along the front-rear direction of the napkin 1, and the upper side thereof corresponds to the front side (fastening tape 82 side) of the napkin 1.

Further, at least one of the display portion 40 on the skin side surface of the napkin 1 and the second display portion 50 on the non-skin side surface of the napkin 1 can be visually recognized with the folded portion along the width direction unfolded one or more times. I hope there is. In FIG. 12, in the unfolded napkin 1 in which the folded portion F along the width direction is unfolded once, the bear pattern provided on the front side of the skin side surface of the napkin 1 is visually recognized as the display portion 40. Further, a bear pattern or characters provided on the non-skin side surface of the wing portion 1w folded inward in the width direction are visually recognized as the second display portion 50. Therefore, the wearer can visually recognize the display unit 40 and the second display unit 50 when the individual package 80 is unfolded, and can easily recognize the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. Further, the display unit 40 and the second display unit 50 can be visually recognized even in the single unit of the napkin 1 from which the packaging material 81 has been removed, so that the wearer can more easily recognize the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

When the display unit 40 and the second display unit 50 are visually recognized when the individual package 80 is unfolded as described above, the packaging material 81 may not include the third display unit 60. However, as shown in FIG. 12, during the development of the individual package 80, the display unit 40 of the napkin 1 and the second display unit 50 and the third display unit 60 of the packaging material 81 are visually recognized at the same time. , The wearer can more easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1.

However, the present invention is not limited to the above, and the third display unit 60 may be a display visually recognized by the individual package 80 before unfolding. For example, a third display portion indicating "front" may be provided in the vicinity of the packaging material 81 to which the fastening tape 82 is attached. Further, the fastening tape 82 may be provided with a display unit indicating “front”.

Further, the packaging material 81 may have a display 84 indicating the direction in which the individual package 80 is developed, in addition to the third display unit 60. When the vertical direction of the display 84 (“OPEN” or arrow shown in FIG. 11) is along the direction in which the individual package 80 is deployed (width direction in FIG. 11), the wearer deploys the individual package 80. It becomes easier to recognize the direction. Therefore, this display 84 does not have to be along the front-rear direction of the napkin 1.

=== Package 90 of individual packaging (absorbent article packaging) ===
FIG. 13 is a perspective view of the package 90 of the individual package. 14A is a back view of the package 90, and FIG. 14B is a side view of the package.

The package 90 has an individual package 80 of the napkin 1 and a bag 91 containing the individual package 80. The bag body 91 is a bag-shaped member formed of a film-shaped member containing at least a synthetic resin. In the present embodiment, the film member is formed by adhering a transparent low-density polyethylene layer (LDPE) and a milky white polyethylene layer (PE). The package 90 shown in FIG. 13 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, but the shape of the package is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a bag-shaped package in which the top and bottom of the tubular packaging material are sealed.

Then, it is preferable that the bag 91 of the package 90 has a fourth display portion 70 indicating the front-rear direction of the napkin 1. The fourth display unit 70 is preferably visible from the outside of the package 90 so that the wearer can more reliably see it.

Specifically, as the fourth display unit 70, a symbol 71 representing the napkin 1 and characters 72 indicating the front-back direction of the napkin 1 are provided on the back surface (FIG. 14A) of the bag body 91. The character 72 is the character "abdominal heat feeling" provided in the front region of the symbol 71 of the napkin 1. The wearer who sees this can recognize that the wide anterior region of the napkin 1 corresponds to the abdomen.

Further, on the side surface (FIG. 14B) of the bag body 91, a display 73 for explaining how to wear the napkin 1 is provided as a fourth display unit 70. Specifically, the display 73 is "Please apply the image of the bear at the tip of the napkin to the bottom of the navel." The wearer who sees this can wear the napkin 1 in the correct front-back orientation so that the bear symbol 41 of the napkin 1 hits his lower abdomen.

Since the package 90 is provided with the fourth display unit 70 in this way, the wearer looks at the fourth display unit 70 when purchasing the package 90 or opening the package 90, and before and after the napkin 1. It becomes easier to recognize the direction. Further, when the napkin 1 is worn, the wearer looks at the display portion 40 on the skin side surface of the napkin 1 and attaches the napkin 1 to the underwear. Therefore, the wearer can more easily recognize the front-back direction of the napkin 1, and the napkin 1 can be easily worn in the correct front-back direction. However, the fourth display unit 70 shown in FIG. 14B is an example, and the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a symbol or the like indicating a state in which a human is wearing the napkin 1 may be used as the fourth display unit.

Further, it is preferable that the bag body 91 of the package 90 has a recall display reminiscent of the function of the warming agent 30 so as to be visible from the outside. In the present embodiment, the product name display 74 "HOT warm temperature" is also a recall display. "HOT" and "warm" of "HOT warm ° C." are all reminiscent of the warming function of the warming agent 30. Specifically, on the front surface of the bag body 61 (FIG. 13), the region outside the recall display “HOT warm ° C” is set to a dark color such as black, and the edge of the characters “HOT warm ° C” is red (predetermined). Colored with (color), and silver particulate metal is crimped inside the letters "HOT warm ° C" by foil stamping. As the metal to be pressure-bonded by the foil stamping process, a metal in an arbitrary state such as a particle shape, a sheet shape, or a block shape can be used. As a result, the metal inside the letters "HOT warm ° C" reflects the red color of the edges of the letters "HOT warm ° C" diffusely, and the letters "HOT warm ° C" become three-dimensional characters, which the wearer can use. It becomes easier to pay attention to the recall display, and the wearer can easily recognize the function of the warming agent 30. Further, by making the region outside the "HOT warm ° C" a dark color such as black, the characters "HOT warm ° C" can be made more conspicuous.

Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the above embodiment is for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and is not for limiting the interpretation of the present invention. Further, the present invention can be changed or improved without deviating from the purpose, and it goes without saying that the present invention includes an equivalent thereof.
