FIG. 2 is a rear view of the first absorbent article 1A.
 吸収性物品1は、吸収性能が異なる第1吸収性物品1A及び第2吸収性物品1Bを有する。具体的には、第1吸収性物品1Aは、軽い日の昼用の生理用ナプキンであり、第2吸収性物品1Bは、重い日の昼用の生理用ナプキンである。したがって、第2吸収性物品1Bは、第1吸収性物品1Aよりも長手方向及び幅方向に長く、かつ吸収性能が高くなるように(多くの経血を吸収可能に)構成されている。なお、以下の説明において、第1吸収性物品と第2吸収性物品とで共通の構成は、同符号を用いて説明を省略する。 The absorbent article 1 includes a first absorbent article 1A and a second absorbent article 1B having different absorption performance. Specifically, the first absorbent article 1A is a daytime sanitary napkin for light days, and the second absorbent article 1B is a daytime sanitary napkin for heavy days. Therefore, the second absorbent article 1B is configured to be longer in the longitudinal direction and the width direction than the first absorbent article 1A and to have high absorption performance (so that a large amount of menstrual blood can be absorbed). In addition, in the following description, the same code | symbol is used for the structure common to a 1st absorbent article and a 2nd absorbent article, and description is abbreviate | omitted.
 吸収性物品1は、着用者の肌に当接する表面シート10と、液体を透過しない液不透過性の裏面シート20と、吸収体30とを有する。吸収体30は、表面シート10と裏面シート20との間に配設される。従って、吸収体30は、図1において破線で示される。吸収体30は、吸収性物品1の長手方向L及び幅方向Wにおける中央部分に配設される。また、吸収性物品1は、吸収性物品1の長手方向Lに直交する吸収体30の幅方向W外側に設けられるサイドシート41,42と、ウイング部43,44を備える。 The absorbent article 1 includes a top sheet 10 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 20 that does not transmit liquid, and an absorber 30. The absorber 30 is disposed between the top sheet 10 and the back sheet 20. Therefore, the absorber 30 is shown with a broken line in FIG. The absorbent body 30 is disposed at the central portion in the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W of the absorbent article 1. In addition, the absorbent article 1 includes side sheets 41 and 42 provided on the outer side in the width direction W of the absorbent body 30 orthogonal to the longitudinal direction L of the absorbent article 1, and wing portions 43 and 44.
 表面シート10は、体液等の液体を透過する液透過性のシートである。表面シート10は、少なくとも吸収体30の表面を覆う。表面シート10は、着用者の膣口(体液排出口)に対応する当接領域S1を有する。表面シート10は、吸収性物品の長手方向において当接領域S1の後方に位置する後方領域S3と、当接領域S1の前方に位置する前方領域S2と、を有する。図1に示す第1吸収性物品1Aは、前方領域S2と後方領域S3とが同一形状であり、その長さ及び面積が略同一である。一方、図2に示す第2吸収性物品1Bは、前方領域S2と後方領域S3の方が長手方向における長さが長い。 The top sheet 10 is a liquid-permeable sheet that transmits liquid such as body fluid. The top sheet 10 covers at least the surface of the absorber 30. The topsheet 10 has a contact area S1 corresponding to the wearer's vaginal opening (body fluid discharge opening). The topsheet 10 has a rear region S3 located behind the contact region S1 in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, and a front region S2 located in front of the contact region S1. In the first absorbent article 1A shown in FIG. 1, the front region S2 and the rear region S3 have the same shape, and the length and area thereof are substantially the same. On the other hand, in the second absorbent article 1B shown in FIG. 2, the front region S2 and the rear region S3 are longer in the longitudinal direction.
 表面シート10は、不織布、織布、有孔プラスチックシート、メッシュシート等、液体を透過する構造のシート状の材料であれば、特に限定されない。織布や不織布の素材としては、天然繊維、化学繊維のいずれも使用できる。 The surface sheet 10 is not particularly limited as long as it is a sheet-like material having a structure that allows liquid to permeate, such as a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a perforated plastic sheet, and a mesh sheet. Either natural fibers or chemical fibers can be used as the woven or non-woven material.
 裏面シート20は、裏面シート20の長さと略同一の長さを有する。裏面シート20は、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等を主体としたフィルム、通気性の樹脂フィルム、スパンボンド、又はスパンレース等の不織布に通気性の樹脂フィルムが接合されたシートなどを用いることができる。裏面シート20は、着用時の違和感を生じさせない程度の柔軟性を有する材料とすることが好ましい。 The back sheet 20 has substantially the same length as the back sheet 20.

The side sheets 41 and 42 can be selected from the same material as the top sheet 10. However, in order to prevent menstrual blood from flowing over the side sheets 41 and 42 to the outside of the absorbent article 1, it is preferable to have hydrophobicity or water repellency.
 サイドシート41,42は、表面シート10の両側に配設される。サイドシート41,42は、吸収体30の側縁の一部及びウイング部43,44を覆う。吸収性物品1では、表面シート10、サイドシート41,42、及び裏面シート20の周縁が接合されて、吸収体30が内封される。表面シート10と裏面シート20との接合方法としては、ヒートエンボス加工、超音波、又はホットメルト型接着剤のいずれか一つ、又は複数を組み合わせることが可能である。 The side sheets 41 and 42 are disposed on both sides of the top sheet 10. The side sheets 41 and 42 cover a part of the side edge of the absorber 30 and the wing parts 43 and 44. In the absorbent article 1, the periphery of the surface sheet 10, the side sheets 41 and 42, and the back sheet 20 is joined, and the absorber 30 is enclosed. As a method for joining the top sheet 10 and the back sheet 20, any one or a combination of heat embossing, ultrasonic waves, or hot melt adhesive can be used.
 裏面シート20において、ショーツと接触する表面(非当接面20a)には、裏面シート20の長手方向に沿って、接着材50がライン状に塗布される(図2参照)。接着材50は、裏面シート20の長手方向Lに沿って複数ライン状に塗布される。ウイング部43及びウイング部44において、ショーツと接触する表面にもまた、接着材50が塗布される。使用前の状態では、接着材50には粘着性を保持するための保護シート79が接着されている。保護シート79は、使用時に着用者によって剥離される。 In the back sheet 20, the adhesive material 50 is applied in a line shape along the longitudinal direction of the back sheet 20 (see FIG. 2) on the surface (non-contact surface 20a) that contacts the shorts. The adhesive 50 is applied in a plurality of lines along the longitudinal direction L of the back sheet 20. In the wing part 43 and the wing part 44, the adhesive material 50 is also applied to the surface in contact with the shorts. In a state before use, a protective sheet 79 for maintaining adhesiveness is adhered to the adhesive 50. The protective sheet 79 is peeled off by the wearer during use.
 表面シート10には、複数の圧搾溝(圧搾部)21、22、23が設けられている。圧搾溝21、22、23は、表面シート10から吸収体30までを厚さ方向Tに圧搾して構成されている(図5参照)。圧搾溝21、22、23は、図1に示す吸収性物品1の平面視において、吸収体30の長手方向L及び幅方向W内側において曲線状に設けられた圧搾溝21と、前方領域S2と当接領域S1との間に配置された圧搾溝22と、後方領域S3と当接領域S1との間に配置された圧搾溝23と、を有する。 The top sheet 10 is provided with a plurality of pressing grooves (squeezed portions) 21, 22, and 23. The pressing grooves 21, 22, and 23 are configured by pressing the surface sheet 10 to the absorber 30 in the thickness direction T (see FIG. 5). The pressing grooves 21, 22, and 23 are formed in a curved shape inside the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W of the absorbent body 30 in the plan view of the absorbent article 1 shown in FIG. 1, and the front region S 2. It has the pressing groove 22 arrange | positioned between contact area | region S1, and the pressing groove 23 arrange | positioned between back area | region S3 and contact area S1.
 また、第1吸収性物品1A及び第2吸収性物品1Bの後方領域S3には、それぞれ性能表示部48,49が設けられている。第1吸収性物品の性能表示部48は、表示要素としての太陽柄部64を1つ有しており、第2吸収性物品1Bの性能表示部49は、表示要素としての太陽柄部64を2つ有して構成されている。太陽柄部64は、圧搾溝21、22、23と同様に、表面シート10から吸収体30までを厚さ方向Tに圧搾して構成されている。なお、本実施形態では、圧搾溝21,22,23と、表示要素としての太陽柄部64とは、エンボス加工によって圧搾加工される。表示要素は、エンボス加工によって形成されているが、この構成に限られず、例えば印刷によって形成されていてもよいし、ホットメルト加工によって形成されていてもよい。 Further, performance display sections 48 and 49 are provided in the rear region S3 of the first absorbent article 1A and the second absorbent article 1B, respectively. The performance display section 48 of the first absorbent article has one solar handle 64 as a display element, and the performance display section 49 of the second absorbent article 1B has a solar handle 64 as a display element. It has two. Similarly to the compressed grooves 21, 22, and 23, the sun handle 64 is configured by pressing the top sheet 10 to the absorber 30 in the thickness direction T. In the present embodiment, the pressing grooves 21, 22, 23 and the sun handle 64 as the display element are pressed by embossing. The display element is formed by embossing, but is not limited to this configuration. For example, the display element may be formed by printing or may be formed by hot melt processing.
 このように、吸収性能に対応付けられた表示要素を有する性能表示部48,49を吸収性物品1A,1Bに設けることにより、着用者は、性能表示部48,49を視認することによって吸収性能を把握することができる。また、表示要素60は、絵柄及び/又は記号によって構成され、かつその内容及び数によって吸収性能を表示する。したがって、着用者は、文字等で吸収性能を表示する場合と比べて直感的に吸収性能を把握することができる。 As described above, by providing the absorbent articles 1A and 1B with the performance display portions 48 and 49 having display elements associated with the absorption performance, the wearer can visually recognize the performance display portions 48 and 49 to obtain the absorption performance. Can be grasped. Moreover, the display element 60 is comprised with a pattern and / or a symbol, and displays absorption performance with the content and number. Therefore, the wearer can intuitively grasp the absorption performance as compared with the case where the absorption performance is displayed with characters or the like.
 具体的には、表示要素の内容(太陽)から想起されるイメージ(例えば、明るいイメージ又は軽やかなイメージ)を用いて、吸収性物品の吸収性能を着用者に伝えることができる。 Specifically, the absorbent performance of the absorbent article can be communicated to the wearer using an image (for example, a bright image or a light image) recalled from the content (sun) of the display element.
 更に例えば、昼や明るいイメージを想起する絵柄としては、花柄のみならず、太陽柄、ハート柄を用いることができる。このような絵柄の表示要素を用いることにより、昼用の生理用ナプキンであることや、軽い日用(少ない日用)の生理用ナプキンであることを着用者に伝えることができる。一方、夜のイメージを想起する絵柄しては、星柄や月柄を用いることができる。このような表示要素を用いることにより、夜用の生理用ナプキンであることや、重い日用(多い日用)の生理用ナプキンであることを着用者に伝えることができる。 Furthermore, for example, as a pattern reminiscent of daytime or a bright image, not only a floral pattern but also a sun pattern and a heart pattern can be used. By using such a pattern display element, it is possible to inform the wearer that it is a sanitary napkin for daytime use or a sanitary napkin for light day use (less day use). On the other hand, a star pattern or a moon pattern can be used as a pattern reminiscent of a night image. By using such a display element, it is possible to inform the wearer that it is a sanitary napkin for night use or a sanitary napkin for heavy daily use (many daily use).
 また、第2吸収性物品1Bは、第1吸収性物品1Aよりも後方領域S3が長く構成されており、その後方領域S3に多くの表示要素が付されている。後方領域S3に配置する太陽柄部64の数を多くすることにより、着用者に対して後方領域S3の長さを強調して直感的に伝えることができ、第2吸収性物品1Bが重い日用の生理用ナプキンであることを伝えることができる。 Further, the second absorbent article 1B has a rear region S3 that is longer than the first absorbent article 1A, and many display elements are attached to the rear region S3. By increasing the number of sun handle portions 64 arranged in the rear region S3, the length of the rear region S3 can be emphasized and intuitively conveyed to the wearer, and the second absorbent article 1B is heavy on the day. You can tell that it is a sanitary napkin for use.
 着用者は、太陽柄部64のイメージやその数によって後方領域S3の長さを直感的に把握することができ、後方領域S3の長さによる使用時の安心感を得ることができる。すなわち、着用者は、睡眠時等、夜長時間使用する生理用ナプキンは、睡眠中の液漏れや長時間にわたる吸収力等を考慮するため、後方領域の長さが十分に長いことを把握すると安心感を得ることができる。太陽柄部64の数によって、この第2吸収性物品1Bの吸収性能(夜用の生理用ナプキンであることや後方領域S3における吸収量が多いこと)を伝えることができる。 The wearer can intuitively grasp the length of the rear region S3 based on the image of the sun handle 64 and the number thereof, and can obtain a sense of security during use due to the length of the rear region S3. In other words, the wearer is relieved to know that the sanitary napkin that is used for a long time at night, such as during sleep, has a sufficiently long rear region in order to take into account fluid leakage during sleep and absorption for a long time. A feeling can be obtained. The absorption performance of the second absorbent article 1B (being a sanitary napkin for night use or having a large amount of absorption in the rear region S3) can be conveyed by the number of sun handle portions 64.
 このように、絵柄によって吸収性能を示すことにより、文字等によって吸収性能を着用者に伝達する構成と比較して、絵柄等による装飾効果を発揮でき、吸収性物品1をかわいらしく装飾することができる。更に、着用者は、吸収性物品の選択時における指標が絵柄であるため、選択時に生理の憂鬱な気分を意識せずに、見た目で楽しんで選択することができる。 Thus, by showing the absorption performance by the pattern, the decorative effect by the pattern or the like can be exhibited and the absorbent article 1 can be decorated in a cute manner as compared with the configuration in which the absorption performance is transmitted to the wearer by characters or the like. . Furthermore, since the index at the time of selection of an absorbent article is a picture, the wearer can enjoy and select the appearance without being aware of the depressed feeling of menstruation at the time of selection.
 実施形態1に係る吸収性物品は、肌当接面側から性能表示部を視認できるように構成しており、着用者が吸収性物品を下着に装着する際に、吸収性能を着用者に伝えることができる。また、本発明に係る吸収性物品1は、この構成に限られず、裏面シート20に性能表示部を付して、非当接面側から性能表示部を視認できるように構成してよい。更に、実施形態1に係る吸収性物品は、後方領域S3のみに性能表示部を配置しているが、前方領域S2のみに性能表示部を配置してもよいし、前方領域S2と後方領域S3の両方に性能表示部を配置してもよい。 The absorbent article which concerns on Embodiment 1 is comprised so that a performance display part can be visually recognized from the skin contact surface side, and when a wearer wears an absorptive article to underwear, an absorbent performance is conveyed to a wearer. be able to. Moreover, the absorbent article 1 which concerns on this invention is not restricted to this structure, You may comprise a performance display part on the back surface sheet 20 so that a performance display part can be visually recognized from the non-contact surface side. Furthermore, although the performance display part has arrange | positioned the absorbent article which concerns on Embodiment 1 only to back area | region S3, you may arrange | position a performance display part only to front area | region S2, and front area | region S2 and back area | region S3. A performance display unit may be arranged on both.

Therefore, the wearer can intuitively grasp the absorption performance as compared with the case where the absorption performance is displayed with characters or the like.
 具体的には、昼用の生理用ナプキンである第3吸収性物品1Cに花柄部60を有する性能表示部を設け、夜用の生理用ナプキンである第4吸収性物品1Dに星柄部61を有する性能表示部を設けることにより、表示要素の内容(花及び星)から想起されるイメージを用いて、各吸収性物品1の吸収性能を着用者に伝えることができる。 Specifically, the third absorbent article 1C, which is a daytime sanitary napkin, is provided with a performance display section having a floral pattern 60, and the fourth absorbent article 1D, which is a night sanitary napkin, is provided with a star pattern part. By providing the performance display unit having 61, the absorbent performance of each absorbent article 1 can be transmitted to the wearer using an image recalled from the contents (flowers and stars) of the display elements.
 第3吸収性物品1Cの前方領域S2と後方領域S3とは、上述のように同じ領域であり、各領域に配置された性能表示部51,52は、同じ柄及び数の花柄部60を有している。各性能表示部51,52は、それぞれ2つの花柄部60を有している。2つの花柄部60は、同じ形状であり、小さな花柄部60Aと大きな花柄部60Bである。 The front area S2 and the rear area S3 of the third absorbent article 1C are the same area as described above, and the performance display portions 51 and 52 arranged in each area include the same pattern and the number of floral pattern portions 60. Have. Each performance display part 51 and 52 has two floral pattern parts 60, respectively. The two floral patterns 60 have the same shape, and are a small floral pattern 60A and a large floral pattern 60B.
 第4吸収性物品1Dの後方領域S3は、上述のように前方領域S2よりも大きく、後方領域S3に配置された性能表示部54は、前方領域S2に配置された性能表示部53よりも大きい。前方領域S2に配置された性能表示部53は、2つの星柄部61を有している。2つの星柄部61は、小さな星柄部61Aと、大きな星柄部61Bである。前方領域S2に配置された性能表示部54は、3つの星柄部61を有している。3つの星柄部は、前方領域S2の性能表示部53と同様の小さな星柄部61A及び大きな星柄部61Bと、この大きな星柄部61Bよりも更に大きな星柄部61Cと、である。 As described above, the rear region S3 of the fourth absorbent article 1D is larger than the front region S2, and the performance display unit 54 disposed in the rear region S3 is larger than the performance display unit 53 disposed in the front region S2. . The performance display unit 53 arranged in the front region S2 has two star patterns 61. The two star patterns 61 are a small star pattern 61A and a large star pattern 61B. The performance display unit 54 arranged in the front region S2 has three star patterns 61. The three star pattern parts are a small star pattern part 61A and a large star pattern part 61B similar to the performance display part 53 in the front area S2, and a star pattern part 61C larger than the large star pattern part 61B.
 後方領域S3の長手方向の長さが前方領域よりも長い第4吸収性物品1Dにおいて、後方領域S3に配置する星柄部61の数を多くすることにより、着用者に対して後方領域S3の長さを強調して直感的に伝えることができ、第2吸収性物品1Dが夜用の生理用ナプキンであることを伝えることができる。更に、第2吸収性物品1Dに表示要素として星柄部を付しているため、この星柄部から想起されるイメージからも夜用の生理用ナプキンであることを着用者に直感的に伝えることができる。 In 4th absorbent article 1D whose longitudinal direction length of back area | region S3 is longer than a front area | region, by increasing the number of the star pattern parts 61 arrange | positioned in back area | region S3, a back area | region S3 is with respect to a wearer. The length can be emphasized and transmitted intuitively, and the second absorbent article 1D can be transmitted as a sanitary napkin for night use. Furthermore, since the star pattern portion is attached as the display element to the second absorbent article 1D, the wearer intuitively tells the wearer that the sanitary napkin is for night use from the image recalled from the star pattern portion. be able to.
 着用者は、星柄部のイメージやその数によって後方領域S3の長さを直感的に把握することができ、後方領域の長さによる使用時の安心感を得ることができる。すなわち、着用者は、睡眠時等、夜長時間使用する生理用ナプキンは、睡眠中の液漏れや長時間にわたる吸収力等を考慮するため、後方領域の長さが十分に長いことを把握すると安心感を得ることができる。星柄部61の数によって、この第4吸収性物品の吸収性能(夜用の生理用ナプキンであることや後方領域における吸収量が多いこと)を伝えることができる。 The wearer can intuitively grasp the length of the rear region S3 based on the image of the star pattern portion and the number thereof, and can obtain a sense of security during use due to the length of the rear region. In other words, the wearer is relieved to know that the sanitary napkin that is used for a long time at night, such as during sleep, has a sufficiently long rear region in order to take into account fluid leakage during sleep and absorption for a long time. A feeling can be obtained. The absorption performance of the fourth absorbent article (being a sanitary napkin for night use or having a large amount of absorption in the rear region) can be conveyed by the number of star pattern portions 61.
 更に、第4吸収性物品1Dの星柄部61は、長手方向内側に配置された星柄部よりも長手方向外側に配置された星柄部の方が大きく、長手方向外側に向かって徐々に大きなっている。よって、後方領域S3の長さを星柄部61の大きさによっても強調することができる。なお、本実施形態では、星柄部61A~61C等複数の表示要素は、幅方向にずれて配置されているが、この構成に限られず。その中心が長手方向に沿うように一列に並んで配置されていてもよい。 Further, in the star pattern portion 61 of the fourth absorbent article 1D, the star pattern portion disposed on the outer side in the longitudinal direction is larger than the star pattern portion disposed on the inner side in the longitudinal direction, and gradually increases toward the outer side in the longitudinal direction. It ’s big. Therefore, the length of the rear region S3 can be emphasized also by the size of the star pattern portion 61. In the present embodiment, the plurality of display elements such as the star pattern portions 61A to 61C are arranged shifted in the width direction, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration. You may arrange | position in a line so that the center may follow a longitudinal direction.
 なお、第2の実施形態では、第3吸収性物品よりも多く配置された第4吸収性物品1Dの3つ目の星柄部61Cを、他の星柄部61A及び60Bよりも大きな形状としているが、この構成に限られず、他の星柄部と同じ大きさであってもよい。また、複数の表示要素を備える吸収性物品において、表示要素の大きさを異ならせずに、同じ大きさとしてもよい。 In the second embodiment, the third star pattern portion 61C of the fourth absorbent article 1D arranged more than the third absorbent article has a larger shape than the other star pattern portions 61A and 60B. However, it is not limited to this configuration, and may be the same size as other star pattern portions. Moreover, in an absorbent article including a plurality of display elements, the display elements may be the same size without changing the size.
 図5に示すように、第3吸収性物品1Cは、圧搾溝21,22,23と花柄部60が厚さ方向において圧搾加工されている。圧搾加工は、表面シート10と吸収体30とが厚み方向Tに圧搾されている。したがって、圧搾溝21,22,23及び花柄部60は、吸収体30の密度が高められた高圧搾領域である。一方、圧搾溝21,22,23及び花柄部60以外の部分は、高圧搾領域よりも密度が低い低圧搾領域である。したがって、高圧搾領域である圧搾溝及び花柄部は、低圧搾領域である周囲よりも吸収力が高い。 As shown in FIG. 5, in the third absorbent article 1 </ b> C, the compressed grooves 21, 22, and 23 and the floral pattern portion 60 are pressed in the thickness direction. In the pressing process, the top sheet 10 and the absorbent body 30 are pressed in the thickness direction T. Therefore, the pressing grooves 21, 22, 23 and the floral pattern 60 are high pressure areas where the density of the absorbent body 30 is increased. On the other hand, parts other than the pressing grooves 21, 22, 23 and the floral pattern portion 60 are low-pressure pressing areas having a density lower than that of the high-pressure pressing area. Therefore, the pressing groove and the floral pattern part, which are the high-pressure squeezing region, have higher absorbency than the surroundings, which are the low-pressure squeezing region.
 すなわち、表示要素である花柄部60及び星柄部61は、高圧搾領域であり、低圧搾領域である周囲よりも吸収力が高い。したがって、着用者は、装着前に花柄部の数によって、その吸収性物品の吸収力を直感的に認識でき、また、後方領域に多くの表示媒体が配置されていることによって、後方領域における吸収力に基づく安心感を得ることができる。更に、装着後は、高圧搾領域である表示要素や圧搾溝に液体が多く吸収されるため、その使用後の吸収された状態を視認して、更に安心感を得ることができる。 That is, the floral pattern portion 60 and the star pattern portion 61 which are display elements are high pressure areas, and have higher absorbency than the surrounding area which is the low pressure area. Therefore, the wearer can intuitively recognize the absorbent power of the absorbent article according to the number of floral patterns before wearing, and a large number of display media are arranged in the rear area, so that in the rear area A sense of security based on absorbency can be obtained. Furthermore, since a large amount of liquid is absorbed into the display element and the pressing groove that are the high-pressure squeezed region after mounting, it is possible to obtain a sense of security by visually recognizing the absorbed state after use.
 また、本実施形態に係る花柄部60及び星柄部61は、中心から放射状に延びる形状である。よって、表示要素の中央付近で吸収した経血を、放射状に周囲に流すことができ、表示要素全体としての吸収力を高めることができる。このような放射状の表示要素としては、太陽の絵柄の表示要素を例示することができる。更に、表示要素である花柄部60及び星柄部61は、一定領域を囲む形状であるため、囲んだ一定領域において液体を経血して吸収することができる。 Further, the floral pattern portion 60 and the star pattern portion 61 according to the present embodiment have a shape extending radially from the center. Therefore, menstrual blood absorbed in the vicinity of the center of the display element can be caused to flow radially around the display element, and the absorption power of the display element as a whole can be increased. As such a radial display element, a display element of the sun pattern can be exemplified. Furthermore, since the floral pattern portion 60 and the star pattern portion 61 that are display elements have a shape surrounding a certain region, the liquid can be passed through and absorbed in the certain region surrounded.
 (第3の実施形態)
 次いで、第2の実施形態に係る吸収性物品について、図6を参照して詳細に説明する。
(Third embodiment)
Next, the absorbent article according to the second embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
 図6は、第3の実施形態に係る第5吸収性物品1E、第6吸収性物品1F、及び第7吸収性物品1Gの肌当接面側の平面図である。第5吸収性物品1E、第6吸収性物品1F、及び第7吸収性物品1Gは、いずれも夜用の生理用ナプキンであり、その形状及び長手方向の長さが異なる。第5吸収性物品1E、第6吸収性物品1F、及び第7吸収性物品1Gの性能表示部は、それぞれ表示要素として月柄部62が設けられており、表示図柄の数はそれぞれ異なる。 FIG. 6 is a plan view of the skin contact surface side of the fifth absorbent article 1E, the sixth absorbent article 1F, and the seventh absorbent article 1G according to the third embodiment. The 5th absorbent article 1E, the 6th absorbent article 1F, and the 7th absorbent article 1G are all sanitary napkins for night, and the shape and the length of a longitudinal direction differ. The performance display sections of the fifth absorbent article 1E, the sixth absorbent article 1F, and the seventh absorbent article 1G are each provided with a moon pattern portion 62 as a display element, and the number of display symbols is different.
 表示要素である月柄部62の数は、吸収性物品1の長手方向Lの長さ、より詳細には後方領域S3の長さに応じている。具体的には、後方領域S3の長さが長い吸収性物品1ほど、月柄部62の数が多く設けられている。 The number of moon pattern portions 62 as display elements depends on the length of the absorbent article 1 in the longitudinal direction L, more specifically, the length of the rear region S3. Specifically, the absorbent article 1 having a longer rear region S3 is provided with a larger number of moon pattern portions 62.
 図6に示すように、第5吸収性物品1Eには、1つの月柄部62が設けられている。第6吸収性物品1Fには、2つの月柄部62が設けられている。第7吸収性物品1Gの後方領域S3は、第5吸収性物品1Eの後方領域S3と長手方向の長さが同じ後方基部46と、この後方基部46に連なり、かつ後方基部46よりも長手方向L外側に配置された延設部47と、を有する。第6吸収性物品1Fの2つの月柄部62のうち、1つ目の月柄部62Aは、後方基部46に配置され、2つ目の月柄部62Bは、延設部47に配置されている。 As shown in FIG. 6, the 5th absorbent article 1E is provided with one moon pattern part 62. As shown in FIG. The sixth absorbent article 1F is provided with two moon handles 62. The rear region S3 of the seventh absorbent article 1G is connected to the rear base 46 having the same length in the longitudinal direction as the rear region S3 of the fifth absorbent article 1E, and to the rear base 46, and is longer than the rear base 46. And an extending portion 47 disposed on the L outer side. Of the two moon handle portions 62 of the sixth absorbent article 1F, the first moon handle portion 62A is disposed on the rear base 46, and the second moon handle portion 62B is disposed on the extending portion 47. ing.
 第7吸収性物品1Gには、3つの月柄部62が設けられている。第7吸収性物品1Gの後方領域S3は、第6吸収性物品1Fの後方領域S3と長手方向Lの長さが略同じ後方基部46と、この後方基部46に連なり、かつ後方基部46よりも長手方向L外側に配置された延設部47と、を有する。第7吸収性物品1Gの3つの月柄部62のうち、1つ目の月柄部62A及び2つ目の月柄部62Bは、後方基部46に配置されている。具体的には、第7吸収性物品1Gの1つ目の月柄部62Aは、第6吸収性物品1Fの後方基部46(第5吸収性物品1Eの後方領域)と同じ領域に配置され、2つ目の月柄部62Bは、第6吸収性物品1Fの延設部47に配置されている。更に、第7吸収性物品1Gの3つ目の月柄部62Cは、第6吸収性物品1Fの後方領域S3よりも長い部分である延設部47に配置されている。 The seventh absorptive article 1G is provided with three moon pattern portions 62. The rear region S3 of the seventh absorbent article 1G is connected to the rear base 46 having the same length in the longitudinal direction L as the rear region S3 of the sixth absorbent article 1F, and is connected to the rear base 46, and more than the rear base 46. And an extending portion 47 disposed outside the longitudinal direction L. Of the three moon pattern portions 62 of the seventh absorbent article 1G, the first moon pattern portion 62A and the second moon pattern portion 62B are disposed on the rear base 46. Specifically, the first moon handle 62A of the seventh absorbent article 1G is disposed in the same area as the rear base 46 of the sixth absorbent article 1F (the rear area of the fifth absorbent article 1E). The 2nd moon pattern part 62B is arrange | positioned at the extension part 47 of the 6th absorbent article 1F. Furthermore, the 3rd moon pattern part 62C of the 7th absorbent article 1G is arrange | positioned at the extended part 47 which is a part longer than back area | region S3 of the 6th absorbent article 1F.
 このように、後方領域S3の長さが長いほど表示要素の数を多く配置することにより、各吸収性物品の長さを強調することができる。また、一方の吸収性物品よりも長手方向に長い他方の吸収性物品において、延設部47に表示要素を配置することにより、第5吸収性物品1Eに対して第6吸収性物品1Fが長い部分や、第6吸収性物品1Fに対して第7吸収性物品1Gが長い部分を強調することができ、吸収性物品1の長手方向Lの長さを強調することができる。 Thus, the length of each absorbent article can be emphasized by arranging a larger number of display elements as the length of the rear region S3 is longer. Moreover, in the other absorbent article which is longer in the longitudinal direction than one absorbent article, the sixth absorbent article 1F is longer than the fifth absorbent article 1E by disposing the display element in the extending portion 47. A portion or a portion where the seventh absorbent article 1G is longer than the sixth absorbent article 1F can be emphasized, and the length of the absorbent article 1 in the longitudinal direction L can be emphasized.
 また、月柄部62の幅方向における長さは、長手方向の位置に応じて変化する。月柄部62の幅方向における長さが最大となる位置P1は、長手方向における月柄部62の内側端部P2よりも外側であり、かつ月柄部62の外側端部P3よりも内側である。 Moreover, the length in the width direction of the moon pattern portion 62 changes according to the position in the longitudinal direction. The position P1 at which the length in the width direction of the lunar part 62 is maximum is outside the inner end P2 of the lunar part 62 in the longitudinal direction and inside the outer end P3 of the lunar part 62. is there.
 当接領域S1に落ちた液体が後方領域S3に配置された表示要素に浸入する際は表示要素の長手方向内側から浸入するため、表示要素の幅方向長さが変化することにより、長手方向内側から進入した液体を長手方向外側に流しつつ一旦幅方向に拡散させ、その後、長手方向外側に流しつつ幅方向に集めることができる。よって、吸収性物品の内部で経血を納めることができ、経血等液体のもれを防止することができる。なお、このような幅方向における長さが変化する表示要素としては、月柄部の他にハート柄のハート柄部を例示できる。 When the liquid that has fallen into the contact area S1 enters the display element disposed in the rear area S3, the liquid enters from the inside in the longitudinal direction of the display element. It is possible to diffuse the liquid that has entered from the outside in the width direction while flowing outward in the longitudinal direction, and then collect the liquid in the width direction while flowing outward in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, menstrual blood can be stored inside the absorbent article, and leakage of liquid such as menstrual blood can be prevented. In addition, as a display element in which the length in the width direction changes, a heart pattern portion of a heart pattern can be exemplified in addition to the moon pattern portion.
(第4の実施形態)
 次いで、第4の実施形態に係る吸収性物品について、図7を参照して詳細に説明する。図7は、第4の実施形態に係る第8吸収性物品1H、第9吸収性物品1J、及び第10吸収性物品1Kの肌当接面側の平面図である。第8吸収性物品1H、第9吸収性物品1J、及び第10吸収性物品1Kは、いずれも昼用の生理用ナプキンであり、その形状及び長手方向の長さは同じである。
