Description

  The present invention relates to a sanitary article comprising an auxiliary tool for supporting excretion by holding a disposable urine collection bag for adults and a urine collection bag.

  The diapers and urinals are examples of assistance methods for elderly people, persons with disabilities, etc. who need to be excreted (hereinafter referred to as “subjects”), such as diapers and urinals. Correspondingly different. For example, diapers and diaper aids such as urine pads are used for people who do not feel urine or constipation, who cannot communicate, or who are extremely difficult to move. (See Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, the portable toilet is used for a person who feels urine and constipation, a person who is told, or a person who can move the body (see Patent Documents 3 and 4). In both cases, the subject does not need to walk to the toilet, and can be excreted in the room.

  The diaper assisting tool described in Patent Document 1 includes a water absorbing body and a holding portion that holds the water absorbing body, and is applied to the subject's crotch from the inside of the diaper when the diaper is worn, and the holding portion also absorbs urine. It is a diaper aid that can be used. Therefore, after use, the diaper assisting tool can be washed and used repeatedly, which leads to reduction of garbage.

  The urine receiving device described in Patent Literature 2 includes a storage bag for storing urine and a holding portion for holding the urine, and the holding portion has a urination opening in a part thereof, and the crotch It is a urine receiving device that can be deformed along. Since this urine receiving device only needs to be used at the time of use, the psychological burden on the care recipient is small and hygienic.

  Further, the portable toilet described in Patent Document 3 includes a toilet body with a toilet seat and a toilet lid attached thereto, a toilet tub detachably mounted in the toilet body, and a cleaning nozzle provided in the toilet body, It is a portable toilet equipped with. Since the cleaning nozzle is provided in the toilet body, the buttocks can be cleaned.

Furthermore, the portable toilet described in Patent Document 4 includes a storage bag for storing urine and a toilet body for storing the storage bag. The toilet body has an elliptical ring edge for fixing the opening of the storage bag. Further, a closed ring lid of the same shape is overlapped on one end of the ring edge, and the lid is covered with the opening. A closing member is provided.

  However, the diaper assisting device described in Patent Document 1 has no rigidity because the holding part itself in which two thin nonwoven fabrics are stacked on both sides of a synthetic resin waterproof sheet does not have rigidity, and an absorbent is used. There is no stability even if held. Moreover, since the holder itself absorbs urine, a problem arises in terms of hygiene during washing. Although it is assumed to be used in combination with a diaper, the use of an easy diaper will hurt the subject's self-esteem, and if he continues to force urination in the diaper, his urinary will disappear and excretion There is also a risk that the physical functions related to the body will deteriorate.

  Since the urine receiving device described in Patent Document 2 is provided with a urination port only at a part of the holding unit, urine is surely leaked when the holding unit is not in close contact with the periphery of the urethral port. Further, since the holding portion does not have absorbability on the back surface portion, urine that has flowed to the back through the body is not absorbed, and the urine receiving device cannot be used in a sleeping state. Furthermore, the portable toilet described in Patent Document 3 is sanitary because it is disposable compared to the diaper aids and urine receivers described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, but once used, it is removed from its own futon. Because it must be separated, it is difficult for a subject who is difficult to stand or sit to use alone. Furthermore, in the portable toilet described in Patent Document 4, there is no problem if urine is immediately absorbed and solidified by the polymer absorbent in the storage bag, but it is stored in the storage bag while being transmitted through the bag. However, there are problems such as urine splattering and urine being not absorbed immediately and unable to be treated stably after urination, urination sound, poor visual appearance and poor stability.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a sanitary article that can be excreted in the subject's own room without damaging the subject's self-esteem. That is.
