Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to sanitary shorts for wearing absorbent articles.

As shorts for wearing absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a crotch piece (inner crotch cloth) whose front and rear ends are sewn to the shorts main body inside the crotch portion (outer crotch cloth) of the shorts main body. The shorts are provided, and the wing portions of the napkin can be fastened to the back surface of the crotch piece between the crotch portion and the crotch piece.
In Patent Document 2, the left and right side edges are sewn together in a state in which a three-dimensional piece is arranged between the crotch part and the crotch piece, and when shorts are worn with an absorbent article on the crotch piece, the three-dimensional piece absorbs the shorts. The article easily fits the body shape of the shorts wearer.

In conventional shorts, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, an absorbent article is attached to a crotch piece that is substantially parallel to the crotch portion.
That is, when the shorts wearer sits on the toilet seat, etc., the upper body is tilted greatly forward toward the crotch piece and the crotch part located at the bottom of the shorts, and the hands are reached to the bottom of the shorts to attach the absorbent article, must be removed.
Therefore, it has been difficult for the wearer of shorts to put on or remove the absorbent article by himself/herself, depending on his/her physical disability or age.
In addition, the bottom of the shorts is difficult to see because it is far from the eye level, and in narrow private toilets, the bottom of the shorts becomes dark due to the shadow of the person leaning the upper body, and the absorbent article is attached to the appropriate position of the shorts. However, there were cases where it was not possible to use it, and there were cases where it took time to replace it.

Since only the front end of the crotch piece is fixed to the shorts body in this way, the rear side of the crotch piece can be pulled up.
As a result, the crotch piece can be brought closer to the upper body of the shorts wearer from the bottom of the shorts, making it easier to attach the absorbent article to the crotch piece.
In addition, by putting a hand between the crotch piece and the crotch part and lifting the crotch piece, the attached absorbent article comes close to the upper body of the shorts wearer together with the crotch piece, so that it can be easily removed from the crotch piece.

In the present invention, it is preferable that the crotch piece has a three-dimensional portion that extends in the front-rear direction at substantially the center of the left-right direction and raises a predetermined position of the absorbent article.
The three-dimensional portion extending in the front-rear direction at approximately the center of the crotch piece raises the absorbent article along the body center line of the shorts wearer, so that the absorbent article fits the body shape of the shorts wearer. In addition, it is easy to prevent the positional deviation of the crotch piece in the front, back, left and right.

In the present invention, the crotch piece may have a non-slip portion on the back surface facing the crotch portion.
By providing a non-slip function on the back surface of the crotch piece, the crotch piece is less likely to be displaced from the facing crotch portion.

As one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for attaching an absorbent article to the sanitary shorts, wherein the absorbent article is attached to the crotch piece in a state in which the rear side of the crotch piece of the sanitary shorts is pulled up, and the crotch is attached to the crotch piece. A method for attaching an absorbent article to sanitary shorts is provided, which is characterized in that both the piece and the absorbent article are brought close to the body of the shorts.

According to the present invention, compared with conventional shorts, the shorts wearer is less likely to be forced to put on the absorbent article, and the absorbent article can be easily attached and removed.

(a) to (c) show an example of the procedure for attaching the absorbent article to the shorts. (a) to (c) show an example procedure for removing the absorbent article from the shorts.

The present invention will be specifically described below, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an example of the structure of sanitary shorts 1, FIG. 2(a) is a plan view showing the crotch piece 5 from the inside of the unfolded shorts, and FIG. 2(b) is a cross-sectional view thereof. indicate.

Sanitary shorts 1 (sometimes simply abbreviated as "shorts") are, as shown in FIG. In addition, it has a crotch piece 5 for attaching an absorbent article such as a sanitary napkin or an incontinence pad.
The shorts main body is constructed by stitching each cloth of the front body 2, the back body 3, and the crotch part 4 positioned between the front body and the back body to form the shorts body.
Each fabric preferably has a good feel and is highly breathable and hygroscopic.
In addition, the back body and the crotch part may be formed from one piece of cloth.

As shown in FIG. 2(a), only the front end 5a of the crotch piece 5 is sewn and fixed to the shorts main body, and the sewing position is the same as the position where the crotch part 4 is sewn to the front body 2. be.
It is preferable that the left and right edges of the crotch piece 5 arranged inside the crotch part 4 do not extend laterally beyond the left and right edges of the crotch part 4 .
For example, the crotch piece 5 has the longest front-rear width (approximately in the center of the crotch piece) of approximately 8 to 13 cm, and the shortest portion of the lateral width (approximately in the center of the crotch piece) is approximately rectangular, such as approximately 4 to 6 cm. may be in the form of
The crotch piece 5 includes a front cloth 51, a back cloth 52, and a thick three-dimensional portion 53, as shown in FIG. 2(b).
The three-dimensional portion 53 is arranged between the outer cloth 51 and the lining cloth 52 so as to extend in the front-rear direction at approximately the center of the crotch piece 5, and is sewn to the outer cloth and/or the lining cloth so as not to be displaced. Alternatively, the outer fabric and the lining fabric are sewn together on both sides of the three-dimensional part.
By arranging the three-dimensional portion 53 along the body centerline of the shorts, the absorbent article attached to the outer cloth 51 is raised at the position corresponding to the three-dimensional portion.
As a result, when the shorts are worn, not only does the absorbent article easily fit the shape of the body of the shorts wearer, but also the crotch piece 5 whose rear end is not sewn to the shorts main body is attached to the body of the shorts wearer and the absorbent article. Also, it is easy to form a layer by reducing the space between the crotch part 4 and the crotch piece 5, and the position of the crotch piece 5 is less likely to shift in the front, rear, right, and left directions.
For example, the three-dimensional portion 53 has the longest front-to-rear width of about 7 to 13 cm (however, the length does not extend beyond the longest front-to-rear width of the crotch piece), and the longest left-to-right width of about 1.5 cm. It may be 5 to 3 cm, and the thickest part of the top and bottom may be about 5 to 10 mm. It can be used as a material.
