- Example 1 A sanitary napkin having the structure shown in FIG. 1 was produced according to a conventional method, and this was used as a sample of Example 1.
- a polyethylene air-through nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 25 g / m 2 was used, and the surface layer was hydrophilized to be liquid permeable.
- a non-breathable polyethylene film having a basis weight of 30 g / m 2 was used as a leak-proof layer.
- the liquid absorption layer is produced according to the example of JP2012-125270A, and is pressed with a diameter of 3 mm and a depth of 0.7 mm from the non-skin contact surface side of the small absorption part (block part) toward the skin contact surface.
- Part (pin embossing) was provided.
- the length of the liquid absorption layer was 275 mm
- the width of the liquid absorption layer was 80 mm
- the thickness of the liquid absorption layer was 2 mm.
- the groove width of the liquid absorption layer was 2 mm
- the depth was 1 mm.
- the density of the small absorption part of the liquid absorption layer was 0.10 g / cm 3 .
- the density of the recessed portion absorbing portion of the liquid absorbing layer was 0.05 g / cm 3 .
- the basis weight of the pulp in the small absorption part of the liquid absorption layer is 160 g / m 2
- the basis weight of the water-absorbing polymer is 50 g / m 2
- the basis weight of the pulp in the concave absorption part of the liquid absorption layer is 80 g / m 2
- the basis weight of the polymer was 25 g / m 2 .
- Example 2 A sanitary napkin was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the uneven sheet described in Example 1 of JP2012-5701A was used as the surface material.
- Example 1 As a liquid absorption layer, the liquid absorption layer which does not provide a pressing part in a small absorption part was produced with the same dimension as Example 1.
- the basis weight of the pulp of the liquid absorbing layer was 160 g / m 2
- the basis weight of the water absorbing polymer was 50 g / m 2 .
- Example 2 As the absorber, an absorber without a groove was produced with the same dimensions as in Example 1. A sanitary napkin was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 using this laminate and the absorbent. This was used as a sample for comparison. The basis weight of the absorbent pulp was 160 g / m 2 , and the basis weight of the water-absorbing polymer was 50 g / m 2 .
- the surface layer liquid return amount indicates how much the liquid absorbed in the liquid absorption layer returns to the surface layer side by pressurization. The smaller the amount, the higher the liquid retention of the liquid absorption layer, and it is easier to obtain a dry feeling and low stuffiness when worn.
- a sanitary napkin was placed horizontally. On this sanitary napkin, a cylindrical acrylic plate with a 1 cm diameter inlet at the bottom is overlaid, and the viscosity from the inlet to the excretory part facing area of the sample (position 40 mm from the front end in the longitudinal direction of the sample) is 8.
- the absorbent paper After pressurization, the absorbent paper was taken out, the change in mass of the absorbent paper before and after pressurization was measured, and the mass of defibrinated horse blood absorbed by the absorbent paper was taken as the remaining surface layer liquid.
- the above acrylic plate was overlaid again on the sample after the test, and 3 g of defibrinated horse blood was again injected through the injection port 3 minutes after the first injection.
- the position of horse blood injection into the sanitary napkin was the same as the position where the first 3 g was injected.
- the acrylic plate after maintaining the state for 1 minute after the injection, the acrylic plate was removed, and the remaining amount of the surface layer liquid was measured in the same manner as the previous time.
- the sanitary napkin of Example 1 had a small amount of remaining surface layer liquid and was excellent in liquid drawability.
- Example 2 in which the surface sheet was specified, the remaining amount of the surface layer liquid was further reduced.
- the sanitary napkin of each example has excellent liquid retention and can effectively reduce the humidity on the skin side of the wearer, so that the wearer has an excellent dry feeling regardless of the amount of liquid. It is possible to provide a more comfortable wearing feeling.
- the absorbent article of the present invention is provided with a small absorbent part that is divided by a separation part, and by providing a region having a higher density than the surrounding by compression on the non-skin surface side provided in the small absorbent part, more body fluid
- the fixability of the can be improved, and a higher dry feeling can be provided to the wearer.
- the moisture in the absorbent article derived from body fluids and the like is released through the groove of the separation portion, and an effect of reducing the feeling of stuffiness is achieved.
