Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. 1 (a) to 1 (c) show an example of a packaging process according to an embodiment of a method for packaging a breast milk leakage absorption pad of the present invention.

First, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the breast pad 50 is placed on the pedestal at the center of one side of the rectangular packaging film 11 with the inner surface side facing upward. As the packaging film 11, for example, a PE film, an everpoly film or the like is used, and one surface thereof is subjected to a peeling treatment. This peeling treatment means that the milking pad 50 is lightly adhered to the peeling treated surface of the packaging film 11 via an adhesive such as glue, for example, but the breast milk pad 50 is manually attached from the peeling treated surface. When peeled off, it is a treatment that gives temporary adhesion so that it can be easily peeled off. As an example of the peeling treatment, after coating silicone on one surface of the packaging film 11 and drying it, heating at about 120 ° C to 130 ° C, or irradiation with ultraviolet rays, a known method is optionally used. Can be adopted. Further, the peeling treatment is not limited to the entire one surface of the packaging film 11, but may be performed on a part of a predetermined area (for example, the central portion).

The breast milk pad 50 is, for example, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (a) and (b), one side of the milk-milk leakage absorbing material 51 formed in a substantially disc shape is covered with the non-woven fabric 52, and the opposite side is covered with the waterproof paper 53. Outer edge
54 is sealed. Furthermore, a tongue piece 55 is projected on a part of the outer peripheral edge portion 54, and a part of the tongue piece 55 and a part of the outer surface side (lower surface side in this example) of the waterproof pad 53 of the breast milk pad 50 are provided. An adhesive portion 56 is provided to prevent misalignment. Adhesive part
As 55, for example, a glue or a hot melt adhesive is applied, or a double-sided adhesive tape is used. In addition, in the step shown in FIG.
