[0028] Form 1 is a housing group that includes an absorbent article housing and a wet sheet housing. It is characterized in that the absorbent article housing has: an article housing member to which at least one of a first display showing a brand, a second display showing a cooling effect, and a third display showing a cooling component is attached; and an absorbent article that is housed in the article housing member and contains a cooling agent. The wet sheet housing has: a sheet housing member to which the display attached to the article housing member among the first display, the second display, and the third display is attached; and a wet sheet that is housed in the sheet housing member and contains a cooling agent. According to such a housing group, it is possible to reduce the discomfort and uneasiness of users of absorbent articles containing a cooling agent.

[0029] Based on the housing group described in Form 1, in Form 2, it is characterized in that the solvent of the cooling agent of the wet sheet is different from the solvent of the cooling agent of the absorbent article. Thereby, it is easy to adopt solvents that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article and the wet sheet.

[0030] Based on the housing group described in Form 2, in Form 3, it is characterized in that the viscosity of the cooling agent of the wet sheet is lower than the viscosity of the cooling agent of the absorbent article. Thereby, it is easy to adopt cooling agents that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article and the wet sheet.

[0031] Based on the housing group described in any one of Forms 1 to 3, in Form 4, it is characterized in that the cooling agent of the wet sheet has the cooling component of the cooling agent that the absorbent article has. Thereby, it is possible to continuously impart a unified cooling effect.

[0032] Based on the housing group described in any one of Forms 1 to 4, in Form 5, it is characterized in that the cooling agent that the wet sheet has has a cooling component different from the cooling component contained in the cooling agent that the absorbent article has. Thereby, it is easy to adopt cooling components that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article and the wet sheet.

[0033] Based on the housing group described in any one of Forms 1 to 5, in Form 6, it is characterized in that the absorbent article and the wet sheet respectively have an antibacterial agent. Thereby, it is possible to inhibit the proliferation of bacteria.

[0034] Based on the housing group described in Form 6, in Form 7, it is characterized in that the antibacterial agent of the absorbent article is different from the antibacterial agent of the wet sheet. Thereby, it is easy to adopt antibacterial agents that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article and the wet sheet.

[0035] Based on the housing body group described in any one of Forms 1 to 7, in Form 8, it is characterized in that more than half of the area of the surface of the article housing member to which the at least one display is attached has a hue in the range of 5PB to 10G in the Munsell color system, and more than half of the area of the surface of the sheet housing member to which the at least one display is attached has a hue in the range of 5PB to 10G in the Munsell color system. Thus, consumers can be made to associate that the absorbent article housing body and the wet sheet housing body jointly provide a cooling effect.

[0036] Form 9 is a wet sheet housing body, characterized in that the wet sheet housing body has: a sheet housing member, the sheet housing member is attached with at least one of a first display showing the brand, a second display showing the cooling effect, and a third display showing the cooling component, and is attached with the display attached to the absorbent article housing body among the first display, the second display, and the third display; and a wet sheet, the wet sheet is housed in the sheet housing member and has a cooling agent. According to such a wet sheet housing body, the discomfort and uneasiness of users of absorbent articles having a cooling agent can be alleviated.

[0039] Based on the wet sheet described in Form 10 or 11, in Form 12, it is characterized in that lactic acid is contained in the cooling agent. Thus, the effect of softening the cutin and the effect of maintaining the moisture of the skin can be imparted.

[0040] Based on the wet sheet described in any one of Forms 10 to 12, in Form 13, it is characterized in that the hydrophilic fibers include water-absorbing fibers and are exposed on the surface. Thus, it is easy to coat the cooling agent on the skin with the wet sheet.

[0041] ===Embodiment===

[0042] <Absorbent article housing group>

[0043] Figure 1 This is an explanatory diagram of the absorbent article housing group 100.

[0044] The absorbent article housing group 100 includes an absorbent article housing 1 and a wet sheet housing 50. In addition, the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 are supplied by a common supplier (here, Unicharm Corporation). However, the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 may not be directly supplied by the supplier and may be supplied by so-called OEM.

[0045] <Absorbent article housing>

[0046] Figure 2 This is an explanatory diagram of the absorbent article housing 1.

[0047] The absorbent article housing 1 is a component that houses the absorbent article 10. The absorbent article housing 1 includes the absorbent article 10 and an article housing member 40. In addition, the absorbent article housing 1 in the figure includes a plurality of absorbent articles 10, but the number of absorbent articles 10 included in the absorbent article housing 1 may also be one.

[0048] The absorbent article 10 is an article that absorbs the excretions (such as menstrual blood, urine, etc.) of the wearer. For example, the absorbent article 10 is a sanitary napkin, a panty liner, an absorbent pad, a disposable diaper, etc. Here, the case where the absorbent article 10 is a liner-type sanitary napkin is described. However, the absorbent article 10 is not limited to the liner-type sanitary napkin and may be a short-pant-type sanitary napkin or may not be a sanitary napkin. In addition, in the following description, the area that comes into contact with the absorbent article 10, such as the wearer's excretory opening (vaginal opening) and its vicinity, is sometimes referred to as the "sensitive area".

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic top view of the absorbent article 10 in the extended state as viewed from the skin side. Figure 4 This is a schematic top view of the absorbent article 10 in the extended state as viewed from the non-skin side. Figure 5 This is Figure 3 an explanatory diagram of the laminated structure at the X-X cross section of

[0050] In the following description related to the absorbent article 10, the product long side direction of the absorbent article 10 is sometimes referred to as the "long side direction", the product width direction of the absorbent article 10 (the direction orthogonal to the long side direction) is sometimes referred to as the "width direction", and the direction orthogonal to the long side direction and the width direction is sometimes referred to as the "thickness direction". In the thickness direction, the side that should be located on the wearer's skin side (the side in contact with the wearer's skin) is sometimes referred to as the "skin side", and the side that should be located on the non-skin side of the wearer is sometimes referred to as the "non-skin side". In addition, the "elongated state" is a state in which the product (absorbent article 10) is elongated without wrinkles. Further, in the elongated state, the dimensions of the respective components constituting the product (absorbent article 10) are dimensions that are the same as or close to the dimensions of the component alone.

[0051] The absorbent article 10 has a pair of side sheets 14, a topsheet 12, a subsidiary sheet 15, an absorbent body 11, and a backsheet 13 in this order from the skin side in the thickness direction. The absorbent article 10 is constituted by laminating these components (a pair of side sheets 14, a topsheet 12, a subsidiary sheet 15, an absorbent body 11, and a backsheet 13). Each component is joined to an adjacent component in the thickness direction by an adhesive (such as a hot melt adhesive) or the like.

[0052] The absorbent body 11 is a component that absorbs and retains excrement. Here, the absorbent body 11 is constituted by an absorbent core 11A, an upper sheet material 11B, and a lower sheet material 11C. However, the absorbent body 11 is not limited to a structure in which the absorbent core 11A is sandwiched between two sheets, and for example, it may also be a structure in which the absorbent core 11A is covered with a covering sheet. The topsheet 12 is a liquid-permeable sheet material disposed at a position closer to the skin side than the absorbent body 11. The backsheet 13 is a liquid-impermeable sheet material disposed at a position closer to the non-skin side than the absorbent body 11. The topsheet 12 and the backsheet 13 are shaped larger than the absorbent body 11. By joining the outer peripheral portions of the side sheets 14 and the topsheet 12 and the backsheet 13 to each other, the absorbent body 11 is held between these sheets. The side sheets 14 extend to the outside in the width direction of the topsheet 12 and form wing portions 22 together with the backsheet 13. The subsidiary sheet 15 is a liquid-permeable sheet material disposed between the absorbent body 11 and the topsheet 12. The subsidiary sheet 15 has functions such as preventing the backflow of excrement, improving the diffusibility of excrement, and improving the cushioning property. However, the absorbent article 10 may not have the subsidiary sheet 15.

[0053] The absorbent article 10 has a main body portion 21 and a pair of wing portions 22. The main body portion 21 is a strip-shaped portion located at the central portion in the width direction of the absorbent article 10. The wing portions 22 are portions extending outward from the main body portion 21 in the width direction. An adhesive portion 23 is provided on the non-skin side surface (the non-skin side surface of the backsheet 13) of the main body portion 21 and the wing portions 22. The adhesive portion 23 is a portion for attaching to an undergarment or the like. By attaching the adhesive portion 23 to an undergarment or the like, the absorbent article 10 is fixed to the undergarment or the like. The adhesive portion 23 of the main body portion 21 is attached to the skin side surface of the undergarment, and the adhesive portion 23 of the wing portions 22 is attached to the non-skin side surface of the undergarment. In addition, the absorbent article 10 may not have the adhesive portion 23.

[0054] The absorbent article 10 contains a cooling agent. The cooling agent is a substance that gives a cooling sensation to the user. By using the cooling agent to give a cooling sensation to the wearer of the absorbent article 10, the discomfort caused by stuffiness and stickiness can be reduced. Desirably, the cooling agent is disposed at the central portion in the width direction of the absorbent article 10. Here, the cooling agent is disposed in the main body portion 21 of the absorbent article 10. Specifically, the cooling agent is coated on the non-skin side surface of the topsheet 12. By disposing the cooling agent at the central portion in the width direction of the absorbent article 10, the cooling agent can be disposed facing the excretory opening (vaginal opening) of the wearer, and it is easy to give a cooling effect to the wearer. In addition, by coating the cooling agent on the topsheet 12, the cooling agent can be disposed over the entire region in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 10. In addition, the coating region of the cooling agent is not limited to this. For example, the cooling agent may also be coated on the skin side surface of the auxiliary sheet 15. In addition, the cooling agent may be disposed on a part of the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 10. In addition, the cooling agent will be described later.

[0055] Figure 6 It is an explanatory view of the form of the absorbent article 10 during storage.

[0056] The absorbent article 10 is packaged by a packaging member 31 in a folded state. Sometimes the Figure 6 member shown (the member obtained by packaging the absorbent article 10 in a folded state with the packaging member 31) is called an "individually packaged body". The packaging member 31 is a sheet-shaped member that individually packages the absorbent article 10. The packaging member 31 is removed from the absorbent article 10 during use. By packaging the absorbent article 10 with the packaging member 31, the volatilization of the cooling agent can be suppressed. Desirably, the packaging member 31 has a film layer for suppressing the volatilization of the cooling agent. In addition, the absorbent article 10 may be housed in an article housing member 40 in a form different from the individually packaged body 30.

[0057] The article housing member 40 (refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2) is a member for accommodating the absorbent article 10. Here, the article accommodating member 40 is Figure 6 The plurality of independent packaging bodies 30 shown in the figure can contain a plurality of absorbent articles 10. The absorbent articles 10 are circulated and stored in a state of being contained in the article containing member 40. The article containing member 40 is configured as a square bag-like shape of a roughly hexahedron having a plurality of faces. In addition, the article containing member 40 is not limited to being configured as a hexahedron, and can also be configured as other polyhedrons or shapes. For example, the article containing member 40 can be configured as a gusset-type packaging with side gussets (Japanese: マチ付き) or a pillow-type packaging.

[0058] The article storage member 40 is composed of, for example, a resin film formed of polyethylene (PE). However, the material constituting the article storage member 40 is not limited to polyethylene (PE), and may be formed of a film-like raw material such as a synthetic resin film composed of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). In addition, the article storage member 40 is not limited to being composed of a resin film, and may be composed of, for example, paper.

[0059] Various displays (a first display M1, a second display M2, a third display M3, etc.) are added to the article storage member 40. These displays will be described later.

[0060] <Wet sheet container>

[0061] Figure 7A and Figure 7B It is an explanatory diagram of the wet sheet container 50 . Figure 7A It is a perspective view of the wet sheet container 50 before opening. Figure 7B It is a perspective view of the wet sheet container 50 after opening.

[0062] The wet sheet container 50 is a member that stores wet sheets 51. The wet sheet container 50 includes wet sheets 51 and a sheet storage member 52.

[0063] The wet sheet 51 is a sheet-like member for wiping the skin. The wet sheet 51 is also referred to as a wet wipe or simply a wipe. The wet sheet 51 of the present embodiment is a sheet having a cooling agent. The wet sheet 51 of the present embodiment is a wet sheet (wet wipe) for sensitive areas (the areas contacted by the absorbent article 10; for example, the vaginal orifice and its vicinity) envisaged for wiping. The wet sheet 51 has a sheet body and a cooling agent. The sheet body is a sheet-like member made of non-woven fabric, paper, etc., and is a member impregnated with a liquid cooling agent. The sheet body is a rectangular member, and is formed in a size of 200 mm × 150 mm here. Desirably, the sheet body is made of a non-woven fabric containing hydrophilic fibers. Thereby, the sheet body easily retains the cooling agent having water as a solvent. The cooling agent is disposed in the entire area of the sheet body. When the wet sheet 51 is used, the solution oozes out from the sheet body by pressing. Therefore, by using the wet sheet having a liquid cooling agent, (1) the cooling component can be sufficiently attached to the skin (for example, the sensitive area around the vaginal orifice and its vicinity), (2) the dirt and oil on the skin surface can be wiped off, and thus the cooling component can easily contact the skin, and (3) the temperature of the skin surface can also be lowered by the heat of vaporization (for example, it can be lowered by about 0.5°C to 2°C). By making the above (1) to (3) act simultaneously, a cooling effect with high quick-acting property can be imparted to the user. In addition, the cooling agent and the quick-acting cooling effect of the wet sheet 51 will be described later.

[0064] The wet sheet 51 is housed in the sheet housing member 52 in a folded state. For example, the wet sheet 51 is folded in a Z shape three times and then housed in a folded state with a double fold. In addition, the wet sheet 51 may not be folded in such a state. For example, it may be folded four times or more, or may be folded in a double fold or a triple fold so that the creases are only in a specified direction. In addition, the wet sheet 51 may not be folded. However, as long as the wet sheet 51 is folded and housed, both the large size of the wet sheet 51 and the miniaturization of the sheet housing member 52 can be achieved. In addition, a plurality of wet sheets 51 are overlapped and housed in the sheet housing member 52. In addition, a plurality of wet sheets 51 that are folded and overlapped are sometimes referred to as a sheet aggregate. The detailed structure of the wet sheet 51 will be described later.

[0065] The sheet housing member 52 is a member for housing the wet sheet 51. Here, the sheet housing member 52 houses a sheet aggregate and houses a plurality of wet sheets 51. The wet sheets 51 are circulated and stored in a state of being housed in the sheet housing member 52. The sheet housing member 52 is formed in the shape of a snap-on package having an upper surface and a lower surface. However, the sheet housing member 52 is not limited to being formed of a snap-on package with side snap plates, and may be formed in other shapes. For example, the sheet housing member 52 may be formed of a pillow package or a polyhedral packaging bag such as a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0066] The sheet housing member 52 is formed of a liquid-impermeable film. Thereby, leakage of the liquid cooling agent impregnated into the wet sheet 51 can be suppressed. Examples of the liquid-impermeable film include resin films. In addition, it is desirable that the sheet housing member 52 be formed of a film having gas barrier properties. Thereby, volatilization of the cooling agent can be suppressed. However, the sheet housing member 52 may not have gas barrier properties. Examples of the film without gas barrier properties include resin films of polyethylene (PE). In addition, examples of the film having gas barrier properties include resin films such as aluminum foil films, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), biaxially oriented polypropylene (OPP), aluminum vapor deposition films, and transparent vapor deposition films. For example, the sheet housing member 52 is formed of a laminated film in which a sealant layer is laminated on a base film laminated with a metal thin film.

[0067] The sheet housing member 52 has an opening 52A and a sealing member 52B. The opening 52A is an opening (take-out port) for taking out the wet sheet 51 housed inside the sheet housing member 52. The sealing member 52B is a member that covers the opening 52A. The sealing member 52B is a member that can be repeatedly bonded and peeled from the main body of the sheet housing member 52. Here, the sealing member 52B is formed of a transparent film. By forming the sealing member 52B of a transparent member, a structure is formed that makes it easy for consumers to visually confirm the display and background color attached to the sheet housing member 52. The sealing member 52B may not be formed of a transparent film. In this case, a part of various displays (first display M1, second display M2, third display M3, etc.) described later may also be attached to the sealing member 52B. The opening 52A and the sealing member 52B are provided on the upper surface of the sheet housing member 52.

[0068] Various displays (first display M1, second display M2, third display M3, etc.) are attached to the sheet housing member 52. These displays will be described later.

[0069] <Cooling agent>

[0070] A cooling agent is a substance that imparts a cooling sensation to the user. By using a cooling agent to impart a cooling sensation to the wearer, discomfort caused by stuffiness and stickiness can be reduced. As already described, the cooling agent is provided in the absorbent article 10 and is also provided in the wet sheet 51. The cooling agent has a cooling component and a solvent.

[0071] The cooling component is a component (substance) that imparts a cooling sensation to the user. The cooling component is sometimes also referred to as a fragrance. The cooling component is a substance that stimulates the user's temperature sensation and is a substance that stimulates the temperature-sensitive TRP channel. In addition, as the mechanism for imparting a cooling sensation to the user, the following can be cited: 1) imparting a cooling sensation through an endothermic reaction; 2) imparting a cooling sensation through the heat of vaporization; 3) imparting a cooling sensation by stimulating the temperature-sensitive TRP channel. Among them, in the case of imparting a cooling sensation by stimulating the temperature-sensitive TRP channel, even if the temperature does not actually drop, a cooling sensation can be imparted. Therefore, it has the advantage that a cooling sensation can be imparted without excessively cooling the skin. As a substance (cooling component) that stimulates the temperature-sensitive TRP channel, for example, menthol, cineole, camphor, isopulegol, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, methyl salicylate, menthone glycerol acetal (MGA), menthyl lactate, menthyl ethylamino oxalate, menthyl succinate, 3-(menthoxy)propane-1,2-diol, 3-l-menthoxy-2-methylpropane-1,2-diol, p-menthane-3,8-diol, N-ethyl-p-menthane-3-carboxamide can be cited. In addition, as TRPM8, one of the temperature-sensitive TRP channels, is a cold-stimulus receptor as a cold sensor, and as a substance (cooling component) that activates TRPM8, for example, menthol (as an example, l-menthol) etc. can be cited. Here, the cooling component is composed of menthol and menthyl lactate (menthol lactate), but the cooling component is not limited thereto. From the viewpoint of the user's sense of security, it is desirable that the cooling component is a plant-derived compound.

[0072] The solvent is a liquid substance that dissolves or disperses the cooling component. As the solvent, for example, lipophilic solvents and hydrophilic solvents can be cited. As lipophilic solvents, for example, natural oils (such as fatty acid esters such as triglycerides, coconut oil, linseed oil, etc.), hydrocarbons (such as paraffin) and other oils and fats can be cited. In addition, as hydrophilic solvents, water, ethanol, etc. can be cited, but since it will come into contact with the user's mucous membrane, it is desirable that the hydrophilic solvent is water. When the solvent is mainly composed of water, dipropylene glycol can also be included in the solvent. Thereby, benzoic acid and fragrance as antibacterial agents can be dissolved. In addition, by including dipropylene glycol, the moisturizing effect can also be improved. In addition, through the heat of vaporization of the solvent of the cooling agent, a cooling sensation can also be imparted to the user.

[0073] The cooling agent may also have substances other than the cooling component and the solvent. For example, the cooling agent has an antibacterial agent, a pH regulator, and a deodorant.

[0074] Examples of the antibacterial agent include benzalkonium chloride, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, methylbenzethonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, cetrimonium bromide, dofa chloride, tetraethylammonium bromide, dicetyldimethylammonium chloride, domiphen, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride, octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, polyaminopropyl biguanide, benzyl alcohol, potassium sorbate, dehydroacetic acid, sodium dehydroacetate, methyl paraben, ethyl paraben, iodopropynyl butylcarbamate, phenoxyethanol, chlorphenesin, ethylhexylglycerin, pentylene glycol, 1,2 - hexanediol, octanediol, decanediol, propylene glycol, etc.

[0075] In addition, examples of the pH regulator include regulators containing weakly acidic components such as benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, malic acid, succinic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, lactic acid, etc. for maintaining the skin at a weakly acidic state. In addition, it is desirable that the pH of the cooling agent is in the range of 3.5 to 6.3. Thus, it is easy to maintain the skin at a weakly acidic state. In addition, it is desirable that lactic acid is contained in the cooling agent. Thus, the effect of softening the cutin and the effect of maintaining the moisture of the skin can be imparted.

[0076] Examples of the deodorant include activated carbon, zeolite, silica gel, alumina, porous glass, silver ions, bamboo charcoal, cyclodextrin, persimmon tannin, chitin, chitosan, tea catechins, perilla extract, ethylhexylglycerin, benzalkonium chloride, etc. By containing a deodorant in the cooling agent, the odor can be suppressed.

[0077] In addition, it may be that the antibacterial agent and the deodorant are not contained in the cooling agent. In this case, the cooling agent and the antibacterial agent (or deodorant) may be provided separately. For example, the antibacterial agent (or deodorant) may be disposed in a region different from the region where the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 is disposed (here, the non - skin side of the topsheet). In addition, for example, a capsule - shaped antibacterial agent (or deodorant) may be disposed in the sheet body of the wet sheet 51.

[0078] In addition, the cooling agent may also have substances other than the cooling component, the solvent, the antibacterial agent, and the pH regulator. For example, the cooling agent may also have a skin astringent, an anti - inflammatory agent, a moisturizing agent, etc.

[0079] The cooling agent contained in the absorbent article 10 is different from the cooling agent contained in the wet sheet 51. This is because different cooling effects are desired for the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. For example, this is because the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 gradually imparts a cooling effect to the wearer due to body pressure and movement after wearing (since the cooling agent coated on the non-skin side of the topsheet 12 gradually comes into contact with the wearer's skin), and thus a persistent cooling effect is desired. In contrast, since the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 comes into direct contact with the user's skin, a rapid-acting cooling effect is desired (it is also possible to directly wipe the vagina with the wet sheet 51, and in this case, a cooling effect with a high rapid-acting property is provided). Thus, by making the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 different from the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51, different cooling effects can be imparted to the user who uses the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 in combination, and the persistence and rapid-acting property of the cooling effect can be balanced. In addition, the balance between the persistence and rapid-acting property of the cooling effect will be described later.

[0080] The solvent of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 is different from the solvent of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51. Specifically, the solvent of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 is a lipophilic solvent (such as triethyl citrate), while the solvent of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 is a hydrophilic solvent (such as water). This is because it is desired that the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 is not easily absorbed by the absorbent body 11, while it is desired that the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 is easily coated on the user's skin. Thus, by making the solvent of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 different from the solvent of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51, it is easy to adopt solvents that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. In addition, by selecting a solvent in the absorbent article 10 such that the persistence of the cooling effect increases, and selecting a refrigerant in the wet sheet 51 such that the rapid-acting property of the cooling effect increases, it is easy to balance the persistence and rapid-acting property of the cooling effect when the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 are used in combination. However, the solvent of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 and the solvent of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 may also be the same.

[0081] In addition, it is desirable that the viscosity of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 is lower than that of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10. This is because it is desirable that the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 gradually imparts a cooling effect to the wearer through body pressure and movement after wearing, whereas it is desirable that the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 is applied to the skin of the user and imparts an immediate cooling effect. Thus, by making the viscosity of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 lower than that of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10, it becomes easy to adopt cooling agents that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. However, the viscosity of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 and the viscosity of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 may be of the same degree, or the viscosity of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 may be lower than that of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51.

[0082] It is desirable that the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 contains the cooling component of the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10. In other words, it is desirable that the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 contain a common cooling component. Here, as the common cooling component, menthol and menthyl lactate are contained in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10. Thereby, a unified cooling effect can be imparted from the wet sheet 51 and the absorbent article 10. In particular, in a situation where an immediate cooling effect is imparted using the wet sheet 51 and a continuous cooling effect is imparted using the absorbent article 10, a unified cooling effect can be continuously imparted to the user, and thus, a further sense of security can be given to the user.

[0083] In addition, when the same cooling component is included in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10, the blending ratio of the same cooling component can be made different between the wet sheet 51 and the absorbent article 10. For example, when menthol is included as the same cooling component in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10, it is desirable that the blending ratio of menthol in the wet sheet 51 is higher than the blending ratio of menthol in the absorbent article 10. This is because menthol has a relatively rapid cooling effect. In addition, when menthyl lactate is included as the same cooling component in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10, the blending ratio of menthyl lactate in the absorbent article 10 can also be made higher than the blending ratio of menthyl lactate in the wet sheet 51. This is because menthyl lactate has a relatively sustained cooling effect. In addition, when a first cooling component and a second cooling component are included as the same cooling components in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 and the volatility of the first cooling component (e.g., menthol) is higher than that of the second cooling component (e.g., menthyl lactate), it is desirable that the blending ratio of the first cooling component in the wet sheet 51 is higher than the blending ratio of the first cooling component in the absorbent article 10, and the blending ratio of the second cooling component in the absorbent article 10 is higher than the blending ratio of the second cooling component in the wet sheet 51. However, the blending ratio of the cooling component can also be the same between the wet sheet 51 and the absorbent article 10.

[0084] In addition, the same cooling component may not be included in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10. Alternatively, the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 may have a cooling component not included in the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10, or the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 may have a cooling component not included in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51. Thus, it is easy to adopt cooling components that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. For example, it is easy to adopt a cooling agent having a rapid-acting characteristic in the wet sheet 51 and a cooling agent having a sustained characteristic in the absorbent article 10.

[0085] It is desirable that the cooling agents of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 each have an antibacterial agent. By making the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 have an antibacterial agent, the proliferation of bacteria in the absorbent article 10 can be inhibited. In addition, by making the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 have an antibacterial agent, since the antibacterial agent is applied to the skin when the skin is wiped with the wet sheet 51, the proliferation of bacteria on the skin can be inhibited. In addition, by applying the antibacterial agent to the skin when the skin is wiped with the wet sheet 51 and wiping the bacteria attached to the skin, or by reducing the skin temperature using the heat of vaporization of the cooling agent, the proliferation of bacteria can also be synergistically inhibited.

[0086] In addition, it is desirable that the antibacterial agent of the absorbent article 10 is different from the antibacterial agent of the wet sheet 51. Thus, it is easy to adopt antibacterial agents that are respectively suitable for the characteristics of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. For example, as the antibacterial agent of the absorbent article 10, it is easy to adopt an antibacterial agent having the characteristic of inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria caused by the absorbed excreted fluid (such as menstrual blood, urine, etc.). In addition, as the antibacterial agent of the wet sheet 51, it is easy to adopt an antibacterial agent having the characteristic of inhibiting the proliferation of bacteria on the skin.

[0087] As already described, the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 is coated on the non-skin side surface of the topsheet 12, and there are areas where the cooling agent is disposed and areas where the cooling agent is not disposed in the absorbent article 10. Thus, in the case of the absorbent article 10, the cooling agent can be selectively disposed at a position (a position facing the vaginal orifice of the wearer) where it is easy to impart a cooling effect during wearing. In contrast, in the case of the wet sheet 51, since the position of use depends on the user, it is difficult to imagine which part of the wet sheet 51 comes into contact with the user's skin. Therefore, by making the entire area of the wet sheet 51 contain the cooling agent, the wet sheet 51 is configured such that the cooling agent can be coated on the user's skin regardless of which part of the wet sheet 51 the user uses. Thus, in the case of the wet sheet 51, the area where the cooling agent is disposed is the entire area of the wet sheet 51 (there is almost no area where the cooling agent is not disposed).

[0088] <Combined with display>

[0089] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, on the article housing member 40, a first display M1 showing the brand, a second display M2 showing the cooling effect, and a third display M3 showing the cooling component are attached. In addition, as Figure 1 and Figure 7A shown, on the sheet housing member 52, a first display M1 showing the brand, a second display M2 showing the cooling effect, and a third display M3 showing the cooling component are attached. In addition, a fourth display M4 (display of the company name) showing the supplier is attached to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52. These displays are recognized through the consumer's vision. Therefore, these displays are composed of characters, graphics, symbols, colors, or a combination thereof, etc., so as to be recognizable through vision.

[0090] The first display M1 is a display for visually identifying a brand. The first display M1 can also be referred to as a brand display. The first display M1 is composed of a display (mark) for distinguishing it from other products so that the brand can be identified. As the first display M1, for example, a trademark can be cited. When a trademark is used for the first display M1, the trademark can be either registered or unregistered. Here, the first display M1 is composed of a combination of characters and graphics such as "SOFY (Sophie)", but the first display M1 can be composed of only characters, only graphics, or can also include elements other than characters and graphics (such as symbols). Consumers identify the brand of the product (here, the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50) to which the first display M1 is attached by visually confirming the first display M1. In addition, even if the packaging form, shape, size, etc. of the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52 are different, consumers can identify the common brand by visually confirming the first display M1.

[0091] The first display M1 attached to the article housing member 40 and the first display M1 attached to the sheet housing member 52 may not be configured to be exactly the same. For example, as long as the first display M1 attached to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52 respectively is common, even if the size, etc. are different, this is permitted. Even if the size of the first display M1 is different, consumers can also identify the common brand by visually confirming that the common first display M1 is attached to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52 (the same applies to the second display M2 and the third display M3 described later regarding the size, etc.).

[0092] By attaching the common first display M1 to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52, consumers can be made to recognize that the brands are common. As a result, consumers can be made to associate that the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 provide a specified quality (here, a cooling effect). In addition, the display showing the provider (the fourth display M4; provider display) is not included in the first display M1 showing the brand. Here, the fourth display M4 showing the provider as "Unicharm Corporation" is attached to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52 respectively, but the fourth display M4 is not included in the first display M1. This is because even if the fourth display M4 is common, it is more difficult for consumers to associate the two products compared to the case where the first display M1 is common.

[0093] The second display M2 is a display for visually recognizing that a cooling effect can be obtained. The second display M2 can also be referred to as a cooling display (or a cooling effect display). The second display M2 contains descriptions directly or indirectly related to the cooling effect. Here, the second display M2 is composed of words such as "Cooling Fresh", and mainly shows that a cooling effect can be obtained through the description of "Cooling" (through the description of "Fresh", it can also assist in showing that a cooling effect can be obtained). As long as it can be recognized that a cooling effect can be obtained, the second display M2 is not limited to including the statement "Cool". For example, the second display M2 can be a display that directly shows that a cooling effect can be obtained, such as "A cooling effect can be obtained", or a display that indirectly shows the cooling effect through words different from "cold", such as "cool", "frozen", "ice", "running water", etc., or a display that shows the cooling effect through onomatopoeia, such as "chilly". In addition, the second display M2 is not limited to words. For example, it can also be a graphic showing wind, snow, ice, running water, etc.

[0094] By attaching the common second display M2 to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52, consumers can be made to associate that the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 jointly provide a cooling effect.

[0095] The third display M3 is a display for visually recognizing the cooling components. The third display M3 can also be referred to as a cooling component display. The third display M3 contains descriptions related to the cooling components included in the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. For example, when "menthol" is included in the cooling agent, the description "menthol" is included in the third display M3. Here, the third display M3 is composed of words such as "Cooling effect: Menthol formulation".

[0096] By attaching the common third display M3 to the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52, consumers can be made to associate that the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 provide a common cooling effect.

[0097] In Figure 1In the housing body group 100 shown, a first display M1, a second display M2, and a third display M3 are respectively attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50. However, it is also possible not to attach all of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 respectively. That is, as long as at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 is attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 (specifically, the article housing member 40) and the display among the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 that is attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 (specifically, the article housing member 40) is attached to the wet sheet housing body 50 (specifically, the sheet housing member 52). Thus, by commonly attaching at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, consumers can be made to associate the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 with each other.

[0098] Therefore, for example, like the housing body group 100 of the modified example (the first modified example) shown in Figure 10 , it may also be that the displays commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 are only the first display M1 and the second display M2, and the third display M3 (and the fourth display M4) is not attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 or the wet sheet housing body 50. In addition, the display commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 may be only the first display M1, may be only the second display M2, or may be only the third display M3. However, compared with the case where only one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 is commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, when two or more of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 are commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, consumers can be made to more strongly associate the article housing member 40 and the sheet housing member 52 with each other. In addition, in this case, preferably, the first display M1 is commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, and at least one of the second display M2 and the third display M3 is commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 (see Figure 10 ). This is because, compared with the second display M2 and the third display M3, the first display M1 showing the brand can make consumers more strongly associate the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 with each other. In addition, this is because by displaying the second display M2 and the third display M3 together with the first display M1, consumers can be made to more strongly associate the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 with jointly providing a cooling effect.

[0099] It is desirable that at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 commonly attached to the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 is provided on the surface (front surface) of the product (the absorbent article housing 1, the wet sheet housing 50). Thereby, it is easy for consumers to visually confirm the displays of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3, and it becomes easy for consumers to associate with the structure related to the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50.

[0100] In addition, the surface (front surface) is the surface facing the consumer side when displaying the product (here, the absorbent article housing 1 or the wet sheet housing 50). That is, the surface is the surface where consumers mainly perform visual confirmation. For example, the surface is the first-wide or second-wide surface among the outer packaging surfaces of the product (the surfaces constituting the article housing member 40, the sheet housing member 52). In addition, it is desirable that the widest surface among the outer packaging surfaces of the product is the surface, but since the widest surface may sometimes be the bottom surface, it is also preferable that the second-wide surface is the surface. In the case of joining the outer packaging film to form the outer packaging of the product (the article housing member 40, the sheet housing member 52), the surface is the surface where the joint (sealing portion) of the outer packaging film is not provided. In addition, when the product stands up by itself, the surface is a surface substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface of the product. For example, Figure 1 in the case of the absorbent article housing 1 shown, the surface is the front surface of the absorbent article housing 1. However, the surface is not limited to the front surface, and for example, it may also be the upper surface (a surface substantially parallel to the bottom surface; a surface on the side opposite to the bottom surface). For example, Figure 1 the surface of the wet sheet housing 50 shown is the upper surface and is the surface on the side opposite to the bottom surface (the surface facing the surface on which the wet sheet housing 50 is placed) of the wet sheet housing 50.

[0101] It is desirable that more than half of the area of the surface (the surface to which at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 is attached) is occupied by colors in the cool color system. By making the background colors of various displays in the cool color system, consumers can be made to associate with the cool feeling effect. In addition, the colors in the cool color system correspond to the hues in the range of 5PB to 10G in the Munsell color system (or white). Therefore, it is desirable that more than half of the area of the surface of the article housing member 40 has a hue in the range of 5PB to 10G in the Munsell color system, and more than half of the area of the surface of the sheet housing member 52 has a hue in the range of 5PB to 10G in the Munsell color system. Thereby, consumers can be made to associate that the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 jointly provide a cool feeling effect.

[0102] As described above, in the present embodiment, by commonly attaching at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 to the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50, consumers can be made to associate the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50. Thus, consumers can be prompted to use the absorbent article 10 with a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 with a cooling agent together. Here, the effects in the case of using the absorbent article 10 with a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 with a cooling agent together will be described.

[0103] Figure 8 It is a graph showing the results of the cooling sensation evaluation. The horizontal axis of the graph represents time (unit: minutes). The vertical axis of the graph represents the average score of the cooling sensation evaluations of a plurality of test subjects. The scores of the cooling sensation evaluations are shown in 11 levels where "no cooling sensation" is set to 0, "just the right coolness" is set to 5, and "very cold" is set to 10. There are 6 test subjects, 3 of whom have experience using the absorbent article 10 with a cooling agent, and the remaining 3 have no experience using the absorbent article 10 with a cooling agent. Each test subject used the absorbent article 10 with a cooling agent once a day and conducted a cooling sensation evaluation. In addition, each test subject conducted the cooling sensation evaluation four times (for four days). Based on the four cooling sensation evaluations of each test subject, two of the cooling sensation evaluations were in the case of using only the absorbent article 10 with a cooling agent (comparative example), and the remaining two cooling sensation evaluations were in the case of using the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 together. In the absorbent article 10 used, a cooling agent was coated on the non-skin side of the topsheet 12. In addition, the wet sheet 51 used was impregnated with a cooling agent. In the case of using the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 together, it was assumed that the sensitive area (the area in contact with the absorbent article 10; for example, the vaginal opening and its vicinity) was wiped with the wet sheet 51 and the absorbent article 10 was worn. For each test subject, the scores of the cooling sensation evaluations were recorded in the above 11 levels at intervals of more than 30 minutes starting from the time of wearing the absorbent article 10. In addition, the scores of the cooling sensation evaluations were recorded in the above 11 levels at intervals shorter than 30 minutes immediately after wearing.

[0104] As Figure 8As shown in the graph after the initial wearing (in the range of 0 to 30 minutes), when the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 are used in combination, a cooling sensation can be quickly imparted to the user compared to the case where only the absorbent article 10 is used. In particular, when focusing on the time until the score reaches 4 or more, which is the standard for eliminating discomfort and uneasiness caused by stuffiness, it is quicker in the case of using the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 in combination compared to the case where only the absorbent article 10 is used. This can be considered that the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 is in direct contact with the user's skin, thereby imparting an immediate cooling effect to the user. In addition, since the wet sheet 51 is a member that can be in direct contact with the user's mucous membrane, it can be considered that when the wet sheet 51 having a cooling agent is used in combination with the absorbent article 10, it is particularly effective in imparting an immediate cooling effect to the user.

[0105] In addition, as Figure 8 shown, for the duration with a score of 4 or more, it is about 180 minutes in the case of using the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 in combination, which is about 30 minutes longer than about 150 minutes in the case of using only the absorbent article 10. The duration of the cooling effect in the case of using only the wet sheet 51 is a short time (about 10 minutes). Although the duration of the cooling effect of the wet sheet 51 is shorter than that of the absorbent article 10, the cooling effect in the case of using the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 in combination exceeds the duration of the cooling effect in the case of using only the absorbent article 10 (about 150 minutes) and lasts for a long time. Thus, it was confirmed that when the absorbent article 10 having a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 are used in combination, the persistence of the cooling effect that cannot be obtained when used separately can be obtained. In addition, as described above, it was confirmed that when the absorbent article 10 having a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 are used in combination, not only the immediacy of the cooling effect can be improved, but also the persistence of the cooling effect can be improved.

[0106] In addition, the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent tends to be used by users who want to alleviate discomfort and uneasiness caused by stuffiness in the wearing area. Therefore, as long as a cooling effect with a score of 4 or more can be continuously imparted to the user of the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent, a greater sense of security can be given to users who have discomfort and uneasiness caused by stuffiness. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, by commonly attaching at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 to the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50, the combined use of the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 containing a cooling agent can be promoted. Thus, as long as a continuous cooling effect can be imparted, a greater sense of security can be given to users who have discomfort and uneasiness caused by stuffiness.

[0107] In addition, since the cooling agent (cooling component) is a substance that gives a stimulus such as a cooling sensation to the user, consumers will carefully select products containing a cooling agent. In particular, since the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent is used in a sensitive area (e.g., the vaginal orifice and its vicinity), consumers have an even stronger tendency to carefully select the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent. In such a situation, as long as a display promoting the combined use of the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 (a product carefully selected) and a display indicating that there is no problem even when the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 are used in combination are attached to the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50, an effect of enabling the user to use the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 with confidence can be provided to the user. In addition, since the user can obtain a sense of security, a stronger cooling effect can also be set for the cooling agent of the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51. As a result, a synergistic effect of further improving the user's satisfaction when the absorbent article 10 and the wet sheet 51 are used in combination can also be obtained.

[0108] In addition, there are countries / regions (such as Southeast Asia, etc.) where, when wearing the absorbent article 10 (during replacement), it is customary to use a shower to clean sensitive areas (areas in contact with the absorbent article 10; for example, the vaginal orifice and its vicinity). In such countries / regions with such a habit, when it is impossible to use a shower and the absorbent article 10 needs to be worn, users of the absorbent article 10 may feel discomfort and uneasiness. In contrast, in the present embodiment, by using the wet sheet 51 in combination when using the absorbent article 10, the area wiped with the wet sheet 51 becomes a moist state similar to that after shower cleaning. Therefore, the absorbent article 10 can be worn in a state similar to that after shower cleaning, and thus, the effect of being able to reduce discomfort and uneasiness can also be obtained. Moreover, since a cold feeling effect generated by the cold feeling agent of the wet sheet 51 and the absorbent article 10 is imparted to the moist area of the skin, there is also an advantage that it is easy to impart a cold feeling effect to the user. For such reasons, it can also be considered that by commonly attaching at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 to the absorbent article housing 1 and the wet sheet housing 50 as in the present embodiment, it is particularly effective to promote the combined use of the absorbent article 10 with a cold feeling agent and the wet sheet 51 with a cold feeling agent.

[0109] Figure 9 is a graph showing another cold feeling evaluation result. The horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the graph are the same as Figure 8 the same. There were 5 subjects, 3 of whom had experience using the absorbent article 10 with a cold feeling agent, and the remaining 2 had no experience using the absorbent article 10 with a cold feeling agent. Each subject used the absorbent article 10 with a cold feeling agent once a day and conducted a cold feeling evaluation. In addition, each subject conducted the cold feeling evaluation twice (for two days). Based on one of the two cold feeling evaluations of each subject, it was the cold feeling evaluation when only the sensitive area was wiped with the wet sheet 51 when wearing the absorbent article 10, and the other was the cold feeling evaluation when the sensitive area was wiped with a new wet sheet 51 at the time of wearing, two hours after wearing, and four hours after wearing, respectively. In the absorbent article 10 used, a cold feeling agent was coated on the non-skin side of the topsheet 12. In addition, a cold feeling agent was impregnated in the wet sheet 51 used. For each subject, the scores of the cold feeling evaluation were recorded at intervals of 30 minutes from the start of wearing the absorbent article 10 on the above 11 grades.

[0110] As Figure 9As shown, when using the wet sheet 51 during wearing, two hours after wearing, and four hours after wearing, a higher cooling sensation can be imparted to the user compared to using the wet sheet 51 only during wearing. Additionally, when considering the duration with a score of 4 or more as a standard for eliminating discomfort and uneasiness caused by stuffiness, the duration is about 180 minutes when using the wet sheet 51 only during wearing. In contrast, by using the wet sheet 51 two hours after wearing, the duration is extended to about 210 minutes. The duration of the cooling effect when using only the wet sheet 51 is short (about 10 minutes). Although the duration of the cooling effect of the wet sheet 51 is shorter than that of the absorbent article 10, by using the wet sheet 51 two hours after wearing, the cooling effect lasts longer. Thus, it was confirmed that by using the wet sheet 51 in combination with the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent during wearing and using the wet sheet 51 containing a cooling agent at intervals after wearing the absorbent article 10, the persistence of the cooling effect that cannot be obtained when used separately can be achieved.

[0111] As Figure 9 shown, when using the absorbent article 10 containing a cooling agent and the wet sheet 51 containing a cooling agent in combination, it is effective to use the wet sheet 51 not only during wearing the absorbent article 10 but also after wearing. Therefore, it is also possible that a display (fifth display; usage method display) of a usage method for promoting the use of the wet sheet 51 at intervals after wearing the absorbent article 10 is attached to the sheet housing member 52 of the wet sheet housing body 50.

[0112] <Modification Example>

[0113] Figure 11 is an explanatory view of the housing body group 100 of the modification example (second modification example). Figure 12 is a cross-sectional explanatory view of the absorbent article housing body 1 of the second modification example. Figure 13A is an explanatory view of the absorbent article 10 of the second modification example. Figure 13B is an explanatory view of the individual package 30 of the second modification example.

[0114] In the second modification example, the housing body group 100 also includes the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50. Additionally, in the second modification example, the absorbent article housing body 1 also has the absorbent article 10 and the article housing member 40, the absorbent article 10 contains a cooling agent, the wet sheet housing body 50 has the wet sheet 51 and the sheet housing member 52, and the wet sheet 51 contains a cooling agent. Since the wet sheet housing body 50 of the second modification example is the same as the Figure 1 wet sheet housing body 50 shown, the description thereof is omitted here.

[0115] As the absorbent article 10, Figure 11 the article housing member 40 of the absorbent article housing body 1 houses Figure 13A the panty-type sanitary napkin shown. Thus, the absorbent article 10 is not limited to the pad-type sanitary napkin. The absorbent article 10 is in a state folded along the crease indicated by the Figure 13A one-dot chain line and is housed in the article housing member 40 in the form of the individually packaged body 30 packaged by the Figure 13B package 31 shown (see Figure 12 ).

[0116] In the second modification, too, at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 is attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 (specifically, the article housing member 40), and the display attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 (specifically, the article housing member 40) among the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 is attached to the wet sheet housing body 50 (specifically, the sheet housing member 52). Thus, by commonly attaching at least one of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, consumers can be made to associate the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 with each other.

[0117] In addition, in the housing body group 100 of the second modification shown in Figure 11 , the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 are attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, respectively. However, as already described, not all of the first display M1, the second display M2, and the third display M3 need to be attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50, respectively. For example, in the second modification, the displays commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 may be only the first display M1 and the second display M2, and the third display M3 (and the fourth display M4) may not be attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 or the wet sheet housing body 50. Alternatively, the display commonly attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 and the wet sheet housing body 50 may be only the first display M1, may be only the second display M2, or may be only the third display M3.

[0118] <Structure of Wet Sheet>

[0119] Next, a preferred structure of the wet sheet 51 (the wet sheet 51 for wiping around the excretory opening) used in combination with the absorbent article 10 will be described.

[0120] As described above, the wet sheet 51 includes a liquid cooling agent having a cooling component and a sheet body impregnated with the cooling agent. The sheet body is made of a nonwoven fabric containing hydrophilic fibers. As described above, this is because the solvent of the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51 is composed of a hydrophilic solvent (here, water). Therefore, by making the sheet body made of a nonwoven fabric containing hydrophilic fibers, it is easy to impregnate the cooling agent into the sheet body.

[0121] Desirably, the weight per unit area of the sheet body made of the nonwoven fabric (the fiber weight per unit area of the sheet body; equivalent to the basis weight) is 50 gsm or more and 80 gsm or less. As long as the weight per unit area of the sheet body (the fiber weight per unit area of the sheet body) is 50 gsm or more and 80 gsm or less, the sheet body can be configured to be easily impregnated with a cooling agent suitable for a user to wipe the vicinity of the excretory opening. In addition, when the weight per unit area is less than 50 gsm, it is difficult to impregnate a sufficient amount of the cooling agent into the sheet body, and it is difficult to impart a cooling effect when the user wipes the vicinity of the excretory opening with the wet sheet 51 (for example, it is difficult to provide the user of the wet sheet with the above state similar to after shower washing). Further, if the weight per unit area exceeds 80 gsm, the sheet body will have an overly thick structure, and it will be difficult for the user to wipe the vicinity of the excretory opening with the wet sheet 51 (for example, it will be overly impregnated with the cooling agent, and it will be difficult to handle the wet sheet 51 when using the absorbent article 10 in combination).

[0122] In addition, the weight per unit area of the sheet body is measured as follows. First, the side surface of the sheet housing member 52 is cut off, and the sheet aggregate (multiple wet sheets 51 folded and overlapped) is taken out in a state where the wet sheets 51 are stacked. Next, the wet sheets 51 are unfolded one by one without stretching, and the wet sheets 51 are dried at 110 °C for 4 hours using a heating device. After the wet sheets 51 are dried, they are left in an environment of 25 °C and 60% humidity for 24 hours, and then the weight (A) of the sheet is measured, and the weight per unit area is calculated.

[0123] In addition, it is desirable that the thickness of the sheet body is 0.35 mm or more and less than 0.55 mm. Thereby, the sheet body becomes a structure suitable for wiping near the excretory opening. Further, when the thickness of the sheet body is less than 0.35 mm, it is difficult to impregnate a sufficient amount of the cooling agent into the sheet body, and it is difficult to impart a cooling effect when the user wipes near the excretory opening with the wet sheet 51 (for example, it is difficult to provide the user of the wet sheet with the above state similar to after shower cleaning). In addition, when the thickness of the sheet body is 0.55 mm or more, the sheet body becomes too thick, and it is difficult for the user to wipe near the excretory opening with the wet sheet 51 (for example, it is excessively impregnated with the cooling agent, and it becomes difficult to handle the wet sheet 51 when using the absorbent article 10 in combination). Further, in this specification, the thickness when wet is measured using a THICKNESS GAUGE UF-60 manufactured by Dainichi Kagaku Seimitsu Kikai Co., Ltd. In addition, in the UF-60, the diameter of the measurement surface is 44 mm.

[0124] In addition, it is desirable that the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 2.3 times or more and less than 3.0 times. The impregnation rate of the cooling agent refers to the ratio of the weight of the cooling agent to the weight of the sheet body. The impregnation rate is sometimes also referred to as the impregnation multiple. Further, when measuring the above weight per unit area, the weight (B) of the wet sheet 51 before being put into the heating device is measured, and the value calculated as (B - A) / A based on the weight (B) measured at this time and the above weight (A) after being left for 24 hours is set as the impregnation rate (impregnation multiple). For example, when the size of the sheet body is 200 mm × 150 mm and the weight per unit area is 60 gsm (the weight of the sheet body is 1.8 g), if 5 g of the cooling agent is impregnated into the sheet body, the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 2.8 times. As long as the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 2.3 times or more and less than 3.0 times, it is possible to impregnate the sheet body with an amount of the cooling agent suitable for the user to wipe near the excretory opening. Further, when the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is less than 2.3 times, the amount of the cooling agent becomes insufficient, and it is difficult to impart a cooling effect when the user wipes near the excretory opening with the wet sheet 51 (for example, it is difficult to provide the user of the wet sheet with the above state similar to after shower cleaning). In addition, if the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 3.0 times or more, the cooling agent is excessively impregnated, and it is possible to impart an excessive cooling feeling to the user. In addition, when the cooling agent is excessively impregnated, if the user presses the wet sheet against the skin with an appropriate pressure, a large amount of the cooling agent may leak from the wet sheet, or if the user weakens the pressure of pressing the wet sheet in order to suppress the leakage of the cooling agent, it is difficult to appropriately wipe near the excretory opening, and thus the wet sheet 51 becomes difficult to handle.

[0125] In addition, it is desirable that the pH of the cooling agent in the wet sheet 51 is in the range of 3.5 to 6.3. Thus, it is easy to keep the skin weakly acidic.

[0126] In addition, it is desirable that lactic acid is included in the cooling agent of the wet sheet 51. Thus, it is possible to impart an effect of softening the cutin and an effect of maintaining the moisture retention of the skin.

[0127] In addition, it is desirable that the hydrophilic fibers contained in the non-woven fabric constituting the sheet body include absorbent fibers and are exposed on the surface of the sheet body. Thus, since the fibers that have absorbed the cooling agent can be brought into direct contact with the skin, it is easy to apply the cooling agent to the skin using the wet sheet.

[0128] The performance of the wet sheets was evaluated using wet sheets (Examples 1 to 3) that satisfied all the conditions of the above-mentioned unit area weight, thickness, and impregnation rate, and wet sheets (Comparative Examples 1 to 3) that did not satisfy any of the conditions. The following table is a table showing the evaluation results of the respective wet sheets of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3.

[0129] [Table 1]

[0130]

[0131] "Cooling agent (present / absent)" in the table indicates the presence or absence of the cooling agent (the presence or absence of the cooling component) in the wet sheet. In addition, the "score" in the table is a cooling sensation evaluation based on 11 levels where "no cooling sensation" is set to 0, "just the right coolness" is set to 5, and "very cold" is set to 10. In addition, "persistence of the cooling effect" in the table shows the change result (sensory evaluation result) of the duration of the cooling effect in the case of using the wet sheet and the absorbent article in combination compared to the case of using only the absorbent article, and shows the evaluation result of 3 levels where it is set to excellent (◎) when the duration becomes longer by 5% or more, good (○) when the duration becomes longer, and failure (×) when the duration remains the same or becomes shorter. In addition, "satisfaction when used in combination" in the table shows the satisfaction of the test subjects (sensory evaluation result) in the case of using the wet sheet and the absorbent article in combination compared to the case of using only the absorbent article, and shows the evaluation result of 2 levels where it is set to good (○) when the satisfaction when using the wet sheet and the absorbent article in combination is higher than when using only the absorbent article, and failure (×) when the satisfaction when using the wet sheet and the absorbent article in combination remains the same or is lower than when using only the absorbent article.

[0132] As shown in the table, since the wet sheet 51 of Examples 1 to 3 satisfies all the conditions that the basis weight (fiber weight per unit area of the sheet body) is 50 gsm or more and 80 gsm or less, the thickness of the sheet body is 0.35 mm or more and less than 0.55 mm, and the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 2.3 times or more and less than 3.0 times, when the wet sheet and the absorbent article are used in combination, a high and continuous cooling effect can be provided, and a high degree of satisfaction can be provided. On the other hand, in the wet sheets of Comparative Examples 1 to 3, since the cooling agent is excessive or insufficient, it is considered that the evaluation is lower than that of the wet sheets of Examples 1 to 3. For example, in Comparative Example 1, since the amount of the cooling agent contained in the wet sheet is insufficient, it is considered that the cooling effect imparted to the test subject is low. In addition, in Comparative Example 2, it is considered that an excessive cooling effect was imparted to the test subject. In addition, in Comparative Example 3, since there is no cooling agent (cooling component), it is considered that the cooling effect imparted to the test subject is low in the cooling effect based only on the heat of vaporization. As also shown in the table, it is desirable that in the wet sheet 51, the basis weight (fiber weight per unit area of the sheet body) is 50 gsm or more and 80 gsm or less, the thickness of the sheet body is 0.35 mm or more and less than 0.55 mm, and the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 2.3 times or more and less than 3.0 times. According to such a wet sheet 51, it is possible to reduce the discomfort and uneasiness of the users of the absorbent article having a cooling agent.

[0133] In addition, the wet sheet 51 is housed in the sheet housing member 52 of the wet sheet housing body 50, and the wet sheet 51 satisfies the conditions that the basis weight (fiber weight per unit area of the sheet body) is 50 gsm or more and 80 gsm or less, the thickness of the sheet body is 0.35 mm or more and less than 0.55 mm, and the impregnation rate of the cooling agent is 2.3 times or more and less than 3.0 times. In addition, the above-mentioned first display M1, second display M2, and third display M3 are attached to the wet sheet housing body 50 (specifically, the sheet housing member 52) that houses such a wet sheet 51, and the display attached to the absorbent article housing body 1 (specifically, the article housing member 40) is attached.
