On the second engaging member 32 of each diaper 1a, 1b, 1c, target display areas 91 to 93 indicating the standard size and out-of-range display areas 94 to 97 not applicable to the standard size are displayed. These regions 91 to 97 are formed symmetrically with respect to a virtual vertical center line PP. As shown in FIG. 3A, for example, a heart mark is displayed in the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a. When the 1st engagement member 31 is engaged with the object display area 91, it shows that the dimension of a waist opening is 84 cm or less, and a wearer's waist size is 84 cm or less which is in the range of a standard size.
In addition, when the 1st engagement member 31 is engaged, the case where the outer edge 52 of the side seat | sheet 50 is located in each area | region is shown.

  An outside display area 94 is formed outside the target display area 91 in the horizontal direction X, and a diamond mark is displayed. When the first engagement member 31 is engaged with the out-of-range display area 94, the size of the waist opening is larger than 84 cm, indicating that the wearer's waist size is outside the standard size range.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, a target display area 92 is formed in the M size diaper 1b, and a diamond mark is displayed. This mark is the same as the mark displayed in the outside display area 94 of the S size diaper 1a. An out-of-range display area 95 in which a heart mark is displayed is formed inside the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b in the horizontal direction X. This mark is the same as the mark displayed in the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a. Furthermore, an outside display area 96 is formed outside the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b, and a clover mark is displayed.

  When the wearer wears such an M size diaper 1b and the first engagement member 31 is positioned in the inner outside display region 95, the size of the waist opening 71 and the wearer's waist size are 67 to 83 cm. Yes, indicates that the standard size does not apply. On the other hand, when the 1st engagement member 31 is located in the object display area 92, it shows that the dimension of the waist opening 71 and the waist size of the wearer are 84 to 100 cm, and are within the standard size, and outside the outside area. When it is located in the display area 96, it is larger than 100 cm, indicating that it does not fall within the standard size.

  As shown in FIG. 3C, a clover mark is displayed in the target display area 93 of the L size diaper 1c. This mark is the same as the mark displayed in the outside display area 96 outside the M size diaper 1b. An out-of-range display area 97 in which a diamond mark is displayed is formed inside the target display area 93 of the L size diaper 1c in the horizontal direction X. The diamond mark is the same as the mark displayed in the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b.

  When the wearer wears such an L size diaper 1c, when the first engagement member 31 is located in the target display area 93, the size of the waist opening 71 and the waist size of the wearer are 100 to 120 cm. Indicating that it is within the standard size. When the 1st engagement member 31 is located in the outside display area 97, it shows that the waist opening 71 and a wearer's waist size are 81-99 cm, and are not applied to a standard size.

  In the diapers 1a, 1b, and 1c of the sizes described above, for example, when the S size diaper 1a is used, when the front and rear waist regions 11 and 12 are worn in close contact with the wearer's waist, the first engagement If the outer edge 52 of the side seat 50 on which the joint member 31 is formed is positioned in the target display area 91, it is determined that the wearer's waist size conforms to the standard size set in the S size diaper 1a. be able to. On the other hand, when it is located in the out-of-range display area 94, it means that the wearer's waist size is larger than the standard size of the S size diaper 1a, and should be changed to one larger size M size diaper 1b. It can be judged that there is. Since the standard size targeted for the M size diaper 1b and the outside display area 94 of the S size diaper 1a are set so as to be the same size, the transition from the S size diaper 1a to the M size diaper 1b Can be easily determined. Here, since the mark displayed in the out-of-range display area 94 of the S size diaper 1a and the mark displayed in the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b are the same diamond mark, the user of the diaper The relationship between the S size diaper 1a and the M size diaper 1b can be easily understood only by looking at the mark.

  Similarly, when the M size diaper 1b is worn, when the first engagement member 31 is positioned in the target display area 92, it can be determined that the size is suitable, and the inner outside display area 95 can be determined. It should be understood that it should be changed to the S size diaper 1a having the smaller size when it is positioned at 1, and should be changed to the L size 1c diaper having the larger size when positioned at the outer outside display area 96. be able to. The outside mark display area 95 inside the M size diaper 1b and the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a are related to each other so that the same mark is displayed. Similarly, the out-of-range display area 96 outside the M size diaper 1b and the target display area 93 of the L size diaper 1c are related to each other so that the same mark is displayed.

  In the case where the L size diaper 1c is worn, when the first engagement member 31 is located in the target display area 93, it can be determined that the size is suitable, and the inner outside display area 97 is displayed. When it is positioned, it can be determined that the size should be changed to one smaller M size diaper 1b. The out-of-range display area 97 of the L size diaper 1c and the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b are related to each other so that the same mark is displayed.

As described above, the same mark is displayed (first design element) in the target display area 91 of the S size diaper 1a and the out-of-area display area 95 of the M-size diaper 1b, and the out-of-area display area 94 of the S-size diaper 1a The same mark (second design element) is displayed on the target display area 92 of the M size diaper 1b and the outside display area 97 of the L size diaper 1c, and the outside display area 96 of the M size diaper 1b and the L size diaper 1c. The same mark (third design element) is displayed in the target display area 93.
In the S size diaper 1a and the L size diaper 1c, the out-of-area display regions 94 and 97 are formed only at one place, respectively, but the SS size diaper smaller than the S size diaper 1a or larger than the L size 1c diaper. When LL size diapers are also included in the wearing article group, a display area corresponding to them can be formed.
In the first to third design elements arranged in the display areas 91 to 97, corresponding marks are displayed, respectively, but if the display can understand the correspondence of diapers of each size, Each area can be color-coded, or the boundaries of each area can be marked. In addition, for example, "Please use S size diapers" is displayed in the outer area display area 95 inside the M size diaper 1b, and "Please use L size diapers" is displayed in the outer area display area 96. A message can also be displayed.

  Since the target display areas 91 to 93 and the out-of-area display areas 94 to 97 are formed symmetrically with respect to the virtual vertical center line PP, the pair of first engaging members 31 are connected to the virtual vertical center line P. -P can be evenly engaged. By engaging these first engagement members 31 evenly, it is possible to prevent the diaper from being displaced when worn, and to prevent leakage of urine and the like due to the displacement. Moreover, with a pair of 1st engaging member 31, it can be judged whether it is a diaper suitable for a wearer, and a more reliable judgment can be made.

  Although the engagement position when the first engagement member 31 is engaged with the second engagement member 32 is determined by the outer edge 52 of the side seat 50, the position of the outer edge of the first engagement member 31 is determined. Alternatively, the determination may be made based on the position of the vertical center line of the first engagement member 31 or the like. When the determination is made based on the position of the vertical center line of the first engagement member 31, a mark may be placed along the vertical center line so that the determination is easy.

In this invention, although S, M, and L size diapers are included as the wearing article group, the present invention is not limited thereto, as long as it includes at least two diapers having different sizes. Moreover, this wearing article group is intended for adult diapers, but is not limited thereto. For example, diapers for infants can be targeted, and wearing articles having different configurations for each size may be included.
