Absorptive article

Abstract

An absorptive article (1) that fits well to the crotch portion of a wearer without promoting bending of a body section (10) of the article (1). The absorptive article (1) worn on a human body has the body section (10) having a longitudinal direction as well as a lateral direction and a thickness direction that are perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the absorptive article (1) also has an absorption body (20) having a liquid absorption member (22) superposed in the thickness direction on the human body side of the body section (10) and absorbing liquid. An end portion (20a) of the absorption body (20) is joined at a joint section (10g) to one end (10a) in the longitudinal direction of the body section (10), and the other end portion (20b) of the absorption body (20) is separated as a free end from the other end portion (10b) of the body section (10) and is movable. With the absorption body (20) and the body section (10) superposed on each other, the absorptive article (1) is folded at folding positions (P1, P2, P3) in the longitudinal direction of the absorptive article (1), and the folding positions (P1, P2, P3) are not located at at least an end (10r) of the free end side of the joint section (10g).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to absorbent articles. Background technique [0002] Sanitary napkins are examples of absorbent articles that absorb liquid excreted from the human body, such as menstrual blood. Recently, the types of sanitary napkins have increased, and as one of them, there is an absorbent article having: a main body portion disposed on underwear; body, and only the front end in the longitudinal direction of the absorber is joined to the joint of the main body, and other parts are not joined, and the rear end of the absorber can move back and forth with the front end as a fulcrum. (For example, refer to JP-A-2002-159534) [0003] And, when using this absorbent article, first, align the longitudinal direction of the aforementioned absorbent body with the front-rear direction of the human body, and place the main body on the inner surface (that is, the human body-side surface) of the underwear, and then In the state of wearing the unde...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, when the lifting operation is performed, the pulling force of the lifting operation concentrates on the rear end of the joint portion, etc., and the main body portion is easily bent in the longitudinal direction at the rear end of the joint portion due to the pulling force. , in the case of bending, the adhesion between the absorbent article and the crotch deteriorates

[0005] On the other hand, when individually packaged, for example, in order to fold the absorbent article into four folds, folding positions are provided at, for example, three places in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article, but, generally, these folding positions, due to their Reduced bending rigidity due to pleating, etc.
