The sanitary article in 1st Embodiment of this invention says the thing provided with the diaper 20 and the auxiliary tool 30 which supports the diaper 20, as shown in FIG. The diaper 20 is a pad type. Specifically, a liquid-permeable top sheet 22, an absorber 24 for absorbing and holding liquid, and a liquid-impermeable back sheet 26 are provided. In addition, a stretchable member 28 is provided at an end portion in the short direction of the diaper 20 (a portion corresponding to the leg circumference), and a tension portion 27 is provided at an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the diaper 20. The diaper 20 may be replaced with a commercially available urine collection pad. In addition, the longitudinal direction of the whole diaper 20 is 40 cm, and a transversal direction is 20 cm. Note that a holding means (magic tape (registered trademark) 29 in this embodiment) 29 is provided on the back side of the diaper 20, substantially in the center.

  The auxiliary tool 30 has a substantially square shape, abuts along the surface opposite to the body side of the diaper 20, and supports the front support portion 32 and the rear side of the diaper 20 on the opposite side. It consists of a rear support portion 34 that abuts and supports the surface. The auxiliary tool 30 is provided with a joint portion 36 that can be bent at a substantially central portion, and can thereby be brought into close contact with the subject's crotch. A handle 38 is provided on a part of the front support portion 32 of the auxiliary tool 30. In addition, the dimension of this hollow part has a magnitude | size which is a grade which can insert one hand. Further, the front support portion 32 and the rear support portion 34 of the auxiliary tool 30 are provided with holding means 37 at positions corresponding to the holding means 29 of the diaper 20 (in this embodiment, Velcro (registered trademark)).

  The diaper which concerns on this invention is demonstrated in detail. FIG. 2 shows the diaper 20. In the diaper 20, the absorber 24 is disposed on the back sheet 26, and the top sheet 22 is disposed so as to wrap the absorbent body 24. The dimension of the absorber 24 is smaller than that of the top sheet 22 and the back sheet 26, the longitudinal direction is 30 cm, and the lateral direction is 15 cm. The outer edge portion of the diaper 20 is bonded with hot melt, an adhesive, or the like, and a stretchable member (for example, a gather) 28 having stretchability is provided at a substantially central portion in the longitudinal direction. Moreover, the holding means 29 is provided in at least one part of the surface on the opposite side to the surface which contacts the body of the diaper 20. As shown in FIG. The holding means 29 is provided at a position corresponding to the holding means provided on the auxiliary tool. Furthermore, the tension part 27 is provided in at least one part of the substantially end part side of the longitudinal direction of the diaper 20. As shown in FIG.

  The auxiliary tool according to the present invention will be described in more detail. FIG. 3 shows the auxiliary tool 30. The auxiliary tool 30 includes a front support portion 32, a rear support portion 34, and a joint portion 36. The longitudinal direction of the auxiliary tool 30 is 50 cm, the short direction is the maximum width W1 of the front support portion 32 and the rear support portion is 20 cm, and the minimum width W2 of the front support portion 32 is 6 cm. The joint portion 36 (hinge in the present embodiment) is attached from the surface opposite to the surface that contacts the diaper 20 of the auxiliary tool 30 and can be opened and closed, that is, can be folded in two. Further, a handle 38 having a cut-out portion is provided on the substantially distal end side of the front support portion 32.

After the support part 32 is sandwiched between the crotch and brought into close contact with the body, the handle 38 is held and pressed against the body for excretion. Finally, after use, the diaper 20 and the auxiliary tool 30 are removed from the crotch of the subject, and after the buttock of the subject is wiped, the diaper 20 is removed from the auxiliary tool 30.

[ Reference example ]
This reference example is different from the first embodiment in that a cover is used as the holding means. FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a surface of the sanitary product according to the reference example that does not contact the body of the sanitary product. In this reference example , a cover 21 to which a stretchable material is attached is provided at the edge of the diaper 20, and is attached so as to wrap the auxiliary tool 30. Since the auxiliary tool 30 is not provided with a handle, the subject holds the front end portion of the front support portion 32 and presses it against the body.

[ Reference example ]
This reference example is different from the first embodiment in that a pocket is used as the holding means. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a surface of the sanitary article that contacts the body of the sanitary article according to the reference example . A pocket 31 made of a stretchable material is provided at the end in the longitudinal direction of the auxiliary tool 30 and accommodates the end in the longitudinal direction of the diaper 20. Since the diaper 20 and the auxiliary tool 30 are not provided with a handle, the subject holds the distal end side of the auxiliary tool 30 and presses it against the body.

[ Reference example ]
In this reference example , the point which made the auxiliary tool the bellows shape differs from 1st Embodiment. 8 shows a sanitary article according to a reference example in which the front support part 32 and the rear support part 34 of the auxiliary tool 30 of FIG. In this case, since the auxiliary tool 30 becomes deformable along the longitudinal direction, the degree of adhesion to the subject's body increases.

[ Reference example ]
This reference example is different from the first embodiment in that the materials constituting the auxiliary tool are different. Aid 50 shown in FIG. 9, the sanitary articles according to the reference example is the aid 50 coated with flexible plastic thin metal so it becomes possible to easily bent by the force of the manual force and body . In this case, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the auxiliary tool 50 is used by being inserted into a holding means 29 (in this case, an insertion port) provided in the longitudinal direction on the opposite side of the surface of the diaper 20 that contacts the body. The holding means 29 is painted in a color different from that of the diaper 20 so that the subject can recognize the position. Moreover, since this auxiliary | assistant tool 50 becomes deformable along the longitudinal direction of the diaper 20 like the auxiliary | assistant tool 30 of a reference example , the contact | adherence degree to a subject's body increases.
