[0009] At least the following matters will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings. (Aspect 1) A disposable diaper container comprising a diaper row in which a plurality of disposable diapers are arranged adjacent to one another, and a container member housing the diaper row, the container having a top-down direction, a left-right direction, and a front-rear direction, the disposable diapers have an absorbent body and are provided with a volatile insect repellent, the diaper row located at the top in a storage space inside the container member is arranged such that the disposable diapers, with the absorbent body folded in half at a fold portion, are adjacent to each other in the thickness direction of the absorbent body, the disposable diapers are arranged such that the fold portion is at the top or the bottom, and in the storage space, This disposable diaper storage body is characterized in that when the space from the top of the storage space to the bottom of the diaper row is divided into three equal parts, with the uppermost space being the upper region, the lowermost space being the lower region, and the space between the upper region and the lower region being the intermediate region, the reaction force when the upper region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction is smaller than the reaction force when the lower region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction, or the reaction force when the upper region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction is smaller than the reaction force when the intermediate region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction.

[0010] The greater the reaction force when the region of the storage space is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction, the more densely the disposable diapers are packed in that region, and the smaller the reaction force when the region is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction, the more loosely the disposable diapers are packed in that region. According to the disposable diaper storage body of aspect 1, by making the reaction force when the upper region is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction smaller than the reaction force when the lower region is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction, or by making the reaction force when the upper region is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction smaller than the reaction force when the middle region is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction, the upper region in the storage space is more loosely packed with disposable diapers than the lower region, or the upper region is more loosely packed with disposable diapers than the middle region. Therefore, the volatilized insect repellent is more likely to fill the upper region than the lower or middle region, and when a wearer or user of the disposable diaper opens the disposable diaper container, the effect of the insect repellent can be exerted on the person who opens it and the place or space where it is opened. Also, if the insect repellent has a scent, when the wearer or user opens the disposable diaper container, the wearer or user can easily smell the scent of the insect repellent, making it easier for the wearer or user to realize that the disposable diaper contains an insect repellent.

[0011] (Aspect 2) The oxygen permeability of the container is 100 cm 3 / m 2 The disposable diaper container according to aspect 1, wherein the temperature is 0.1 -24h·atm or less.

[0012] According to the disposable diaper container of the second aspect, the oxygen permeability of the container member is 100 cm 3 / m 2 In this case, the risk of the insect repellent in the disposable diaper leaking out of the container member can be reduced compared to when the resistance is greater than 24h atm.

[0013] (Aspect 3) This is a disposable diaper container according to aspect 1 or 2, wherein the repellent provided on the disposable diaper is provided at a position overlapping at least with the lower region, and the reaction force when the middle region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction is greater than the reaction force when the lower region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction.

[0014] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 3, the risk of the insect repellent provided at a position corresponding to the lower region reaching the upper region is reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the insect repellent provided in the disposable diaper leaking outside the container member, making it easier to maintain the insect repellent provided in the disposable diaper.

[0015] (Aspect 4) This is a disposable diaper container according to any one of aspects 1 to 3, wherein the repellent provided on the disposable diaper is provided at a position overlapping at least with the upper region, and the reaction force when the middle region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction is greater than the reaction force when the lower region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction.

[0016] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 4, it becomes easier to fill the upper region with insect repellent, so that when a wearer or user of the disposable diaper opens the disposable diaper container, the insect repellent can be effective against the person who opens it and the place or space where it is opened.

[0017] (Aspect 5) This is a disposable diaper container according to any one of aspects 1 to 4, wherein the repellent provided on the disposable diaper is provided at a position overlapping at least with the middle region, and the reaction force when the middle region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction is greater than the reaction force when the lower region is compressed a predetermined length along the left-right direction.

[0018] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 5, the insect repellent provided at a position overlapping with the middle region can be reduced from migrating to the upper region, thereby reducing the risk of the insect repellent in the disposable diaper leaking outside the container member and making it easier to maintain the insect repellent in the disposable diaper.

[0019] (Aspect 6) In the disposable diaper container according to any one of aspects 1 to 5, the repellent is provided on a surface of the disposable diaper that comes into contact with an adjacent disposable diaper.

[0020] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 6, the risk of the insect repellent volatilizing from the disposable diaper is reduced, making it easier for the disposable diaper to maintain the insect repellent therein.

[0021] (Aspect 7) This is a disposable diaper container described in any of aspects 1 to 6, wherein the container member is provided with an opening means for forming an opening for removing the contained disposable diaper, and the opening means is provided at least in part at a position corresponding to the upper region.

[0022] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 7, when a wearer or user of the disposable diaper opens the disposable diaper container, the insect repellent effect can be exerted on the person who opens it and on the place or space where it is opened.

[0023] (Aspect 8) Aspect 8 is a disposable diaper container according to aspect 7, wherein the opening means is a perforation or a half cut.

[0024] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 8, when the container is unopened, the insect repellent is easily retained in the container, while the wearer or the like can easily form an opening in the container from the perforation or half-cut portion, making it easy to remove the disposable diaper.

[0025] (Aspect 9) A disposable diaper container according to aspect 7 or 8, wherein the sum of the lengths of the opening means at the position corresponding to the upper region of the container member is longer than the sum of the lengths of the opening means at the positions corresponding to the middle region and the lower region.

[0026] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 9, when a wearer or the like opens the disposable diaper container to remove the disposable diaper from the opening, the effect of the insect repellent is exerted on the person who opens it and on the place or space where it is opened, while reducing the risk of the insect repellent volatilizing from the middle or lower region leaking, making it easier for the disposable diaper to maintain its insect repellent-containing state.

[0027] (Aspect 10) This is a disposable diaper container described in any of aspects 7 to 9, wherein the length of the opening means of the container member is greater than or equal to the length of the disposable diaper in the direction along the fold, and is less than or equal to twice the length of the disposable diaper in the direction along the fold.

[0028] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 10, it is easier to remove the disposable diaper from the container than when the length of the opening means is shorter than the length of the disposable diaper in the direction along the folded portion when in the stored state, while reducing the risk of insect repellent leaking to the outside through the opening than when the length of the opening means is longer than twice the length of the disposable diaper in the direction along the folded portion when in the stored state.

[0029] (Aspect 11) The opening means is a perforation and has alternating apertures that penetrate the thickness direction of the containing member and non-perforated portions that do not penetrate the thickness direction of the containing member, and the opening means has portions where adjacent apertures have different lengths, or has portions where adjacent non-perforated portions have different lengths, in a disposable diaper container described in any of aspects 7 to 10.

[0030] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 11, the risk of forming an excessively large opening can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of insect repellent leaking to the outside through the opening.

[0031] (Aspect 12) A disposable diaper container as described in any of aspects 7 to 11, comprising a seal portion for sealing the formed opening, the seal portion having a strong adhesive region having a predetermined adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion and the containing member, and a weak adhesive region having an adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion and the containing member that is weaker than that of the strong adhesive region, and the seal portion is adhered to the containing member so as to cover at least a portion of the opening means.

[0032] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 12, even after an opening is formed in the container member in order to open the disposable diaper container, the opening can be sealed closed using the sealing portion, thereby reducing the risk of insect volatile agent leaking outside the container and making it easier for the disposable diaper to maintain its state containing the insect repellent, and when the container member with the sealed opening is opened again, it becomes easier for the insect repellent to be effective on the person who opened it and in the space such as the room where it was opened.

[0033] (Aspect 13) A disposable diaper container as described in any one of aspects 7 to 11, comprising a seal portion for sealing the formed opening, the seal portion having a strong adhesive region that provides a predetermined adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion and the container member, and a weak adhesive region in which the adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion and the container member is weaker than that of the strong adhesive region, and the seal portion is adhered to the container member so as not to cover the opening means.

[0034] According to the disposable diaper container of aspect 13, an opening is formed in the container member, and even after the disposable diaper container is opened once, the opening can be closed using the seal portion, thereby reducing the risk of insect volatile agent leaking outside the container and making it easier for the disposable diaper to maintain its insect repellent state, and when the container member with the sealed opening is opened again, it becomes easier for the insect repellent to be effective in the person who opened it and in the space such as the room where it was opened.

[0035] ===First embodiment=== <<Basic configuration of container 100>> Hereinafter, as an example of the disposable diaper container according to this embodiment, a container 100 for pants-type disposable diapers for infants (also referred to as "container 100") will be described. However, the disposable diaper according to this embodiment is not limited to the above, and can also be used as pants-type disposable diapers for adults, or tape-type disposable diapers for infants or adults.

[0036] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a container 100. The container 100 has a plurality of pants-type disposable diapers 1 (hereinafter, also simply referred to as "diapers 1") and a container member 120 that contains the plurality of diapers 1 (FIG. 2, etc.). The diapers 1 are distributed and stored in a state in which they are contained in the container member 120. As shown in FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the container 100 in a state in which the diapers 1 are contained in the container member 120 (hereinafter, also referred to as a "contained state") is a substantially hexahedron having a plurality of faces 200 (a front face 200A, a side face 200B, a rear face (not shown), a top face 200D, and a bottom face (not shown)), but is not limited thereto and may be another polyhedron. In the following description, a wearer of the diaper 1 or a person who makes the wearer wear the diaper 1 is referred to as a "wearer, etc."

[0037] <<Basic configuration of pants-type disposable diaper 1>> Fig. 2 is a view of the diaper 1 in a stored state as seen from the back side. Fig. 3 is a schematic plan view of the diaper 1 in an unfolded and stretched state as seen from the skin side. Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line AA in Fig. 3. The diaper 1 in Fig. 2 is the diaper 1 in its natural state and also in its stored state.

[0038] The unfolded state of the diaper 1 refers to a state in which the pair of joints 2 provided on both sides of the pants-type diaper 1 are separated and the diaper 1 is opened and unfolded in a plane. The stretched state of the diaper 1 refers to a state in which the elastic members of the diaper 1 are stretched to an extent that wrinkles in the diaper 1 are no longer visible. More specifically, this refers to a state in which each member constituting the diaper 1 is stretched until its dimensions match or are close to the dimensions of the member alone (i.e., the dimensions when the elastic members are not stretchable).

[0039] The pants-type diaper 1 has a top-bottom direction, a width direction, and a front-rear direction, and is formed with a waist opening BH and a pair of leg openings LH (see FIG. 2). In the front-rear direction, the side facing the wearer's abdomen is the front side, and the side facing the wearer's back is the rear side. The diaper 1 also has a thickness direction, as shown in FIG. 4, and the side in contact with the wearer in the thickness direction is the skin side, and the opposite side is the non-skin side.

[0040] The diaper 1 has an absorbent main body 10 and waist-line sections 20, 30 arranged on the non-skin side of the absorbent main body 10. The diaper 1 of this embodiment is a so-called three-piece type, and the waist-line section has a ventral waist-line section 20 and a rear waist-line section 30, and the non-skin side of the absorbent main body 10 below the ventral waist-line section 20 and the rear waist-line section 30 is exposed to the outside.

[0041] As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the non-skin side of the longitudinal end of the absorbent body 10 on the ventral side is joined to the skin side of the ventral waistline section 20 by adhesive or the like, and the non-skin side of the longitudinal end of the absorbent body 10 on the rear side is joined to the skin side of the back waistline section 30 by adhesive or the like. From the diaper 1 in the unfolded state of Fig. 3, the absorbent body 10 is folded in half at the folding portion F so that the ventral waistline section 20 and the back waistline section 30 face each other, and both widthwise sides of the ventral waistline section 20 and both widthwise sides of the back waistline section 30 are joined by welding (for example, thermal welding or ultrasonic welding) or the like to form a pair of joining portions 2, thereby making the diaper 1 into a pants-type diaper. The folding portion F is provided in the longitudinal center of the diaper 1 in the unfolded state.

[0042] The absorbent body 10 includes a liquid-permeable top sheet 11, an absorbent body 12 that absorbs excrement, a liquid-impermeable back sheet 13, and an exterior sheet 14, which are bonded together by adhesive or the like. An example of the absorbent body 12 is a liquid-absorbent fiber such as pulp fiber that is impregnated with a superabsorbent polymer and molded into a predetermined shape. The absorbent body 12 may be covered with a core wrap sheet such as liquid-permeable tissue paper or nonwoven fabric. Other examples of the absorbent body 12 include a SAP sheet in which a SAP layer is attached to a hydrophilic sheet, and an airlaid sheet in which liquid-absorbent fiber is molded into a sheet by an airlaid method.

[0043] The absorbent body 10 also has leg elastic members 15 (for example, rubber thread) that stretch in the longitudinal direction (up-down direction) on both widthwise sides, allowing the diaper 1 to fit snugly around the legs of the wearer.

[0044] The absorbent body 10 also has leakage preventing walls 16 that can stand up on the skin side on both widthwise sides. For example, both widthwise sides of the exterior sheet 14 are folded back inward in the width direction so as to be positioned on the skin side of the top sheet 11, and leakage preventing wall elastic members 161 (e.g., rubber thread) that stretch in the longitudinal direction are provided in the folded back areas, thereby forming the leakage preventing walls 16.

[0045] As shown in Fig. 4, the ventral waist portion 20 and the back waist portion 30 each have a skin-side sheet 21, 31 and a non-skin-side sheet 22, 32 made of soft nonwoven fabric or the like, and a plurality of waist elastic members 23, 33 (e.g., rubber thread) that stretch in the width direction. The plurality of waist elastic members 23, 33 are arranged in the waist portions 20, 30 at intervals in the vertical direction and are fixed to the sheets in a stretched state in the width direction. Therefore, the ventral waist portion 20 and the back waist portion 30 are stretchable in the width direction to fit the waist of the wearer.

[0046] 3, the ventral waist portion 20 has a rectangular shape. On the other hand, the back waist portion 30 has an extension portion 34 extending downward from the rectangular joint 2. The extension portion 34 has a generally trapezoidal shape with its width direction length decreasing downward.

[0047] Although the basic configuration of the diaper 1 has been described above, the configuration of the diaper 1 is not limited to the above. For example, the diaper 1 may be a two-piece type diaper, in which the ventral waist portion 20 and the rear waist portion 30 are formed from a single continuous member, or a waist portion in the crotch portion that connects the ventral waist portion 20 and the rear waist portion 30 is provided. In addition, the waist elastic members 23, 33 and the leg elastic members 15 may be sheet-like elastic members (stretchable films or stretchable nonwoven fabrics) instead of rubber thread.

[0048] <<Insect repellent AM>> The diaper 1 is provided with an insect repellent AM. The insect repellent AM (hereinafter also referred to as "repellent AM") is a repellent (insect repellent) against pests such as mosquitoes, moths, midges, and flies, and is a synthetic compound or natural plant extract containing a component with an insect repellent effect. For example, lemongrass, citronellal, 1,8-cineole, linalyl acetate, DEET (N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide), sesquiterpene, ethyl butyl acetyl aminopropionate, picaridin, pyrethroid, cinnamon, rosemary, lavender, peppermint, eucalyptus, citronella, lemon eucalyptus, tulsi, etc. can be used. The repellent AM can be selected according to the target pests and the wearer. In this embodiment, an isolated fragrance extracted from citronella grass is used. As a result, a component with an insect repellent effect (citronella grass) is imparted to the diaper 1. In addition, the repellent AM may be prepared by using an isolated fragrance extracted from a repellent component such as lemongrass.

[0049] The repellent AM is preferably an allergen-free substance. For example, it is preferable that the repellent AM does not substantially contain (the ratio of allergens in the repellent AM is 1% or less) any of the 26 types of substances that are required to be labeled as allergens under the EU (European Union) Cosmetics Directive (76 / 768 / EEC). It is also preferable that the repellent AM does not inhibit the adhesive performance of the hot melt adhesive used in the diaper 1.

[0050] The repellent AM in FIG. 2 and the like is also a repellent placement area AM that indicates an area where the repellent AM is applied. The insect repellent AM in this embodiment is a volatile substance and is applied in liquid form. The repellent placement area AM may be applied with only a synthetic compound or a natural plant extract containing an ingredient with an insect repellent effect, or may be applied with a liquid in which a solvent or the like is added to an ingredient (substance) with an insect repellent effect as appropriate.

[0051] In the present embodiment, the repellent AM is applied to the diaper 1 in a liquid form, but this is not limited thereto. The insect repellent AM may be in a solid form, or may be in a form in which the repellent is encapsulated in microcapsules or the like.

[0052] As shown in FIG. 2 etc., in this embodiment, the insect repellent AM is provided on the back side of the diaper 1. Specifically, the repellent AM is provided on the back side of the diaper 1, below the back waist portion 30 (the side of the folded portion F) and above the folded portion F, approximately in the center in the width direction. This makes it easier to exert a repellent effect on the legs of the wearer, and reduces the risk of the wearer's legs being bitten by mosquitoes. In this embodiment, the repellent AM is provided on the absorbent main body 10 on the back side of the diaper 1, but this is not limited to this. The repellent AM can be provided appropriately on parts of the diaper 1 that correspond to the parts of the body where the repellent effect is to be exerted on the wearer.

[0053] <<Housing member 120>> The storage member 120 is formed of a resin (plastic) film, specifically, a resin film made of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH). Note that the material constituting the storage member 120 is not limited to ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), and may be a film-like material such as a synthetic resin film made of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

[0054] The oxygen permeability of this storage member 120 is 100 cm at 23° C. 3 / m 2 It is preferable that the oxygen permeability is 10 cm 3 / m 2 It is more preferable that the oxygen permeability is 24h·atm. The oxygen permeability is measured, for example, according to the coulometric method under the conditions of 23°C and 0% RH.

[0055] Since the insect repellent AM provided in the diaper 1 is volatile, the oxygen permeability of the container member 120 is set to 100 cm 3 / m 2 By setting the temperature at 24h atm or lower, the airtightness of the housing 100 is increased, and the oxygen permeability of the housing member 120 is increased to 100 cm 3 / m 2 The risk of the insect repellent AM provided in the diaper 1 leaking out of the containing member 120 can be reduced compared to when the resistance is greater than ·24h·atm.

[0056] The moisture permeability of the storage member 120 is 2000 g / m 2 For example, a polyethylene (PE) resin film may be used. This allows the moisture permeability of the storage member 120 to be 2000 g / m 2 Compared to when the thickness is greater than 24h, the containment member 120 is less permeable to the repellent AM provided inside the containment member 120 in the thickness direction, so that the risk of the insect repellent AM provided in the diaper 1 leaking out of the containment member 120 can be reduced.

[0057] The housing member 120 has a handle 121 on the upper part of the upper surface 200D. The handle 121 makes it easier for the wearer or the like to carry the housing body 100. The handle 121 may be made of the same material as the housing member 120, or may be made of a different material from the housing member 120. For example, the handle 121 may be made of a resin film made of polyethylene (PE), or a synthetic resin film made of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or the like. In addition, the handle 121 does not necessarily have to be provided, and the housing member 120 (housing body 100) does not necessarily have to have the handle 121.

[0058] <<Containment body 100 in contained state>> 1 and other figures, the container 100 in a stored state has a top-bottom direction, a left-right direction, and a front-rear direction. Regarding the top-bottom direction of the container 100, if the container 100 (container member 120) has a handle 121, the side on which the handle 121 is provided is determined as the top side, and the opposite side is determined as the bottom side. Alternatively, if the handle 121 is not provided, the surface 200 of the container 100 (container member 121) on which the product name is largest is determined as the front side, and the top-bottom direction is determined based on the direction of the characters in the product name.

[0059] In the container 100, a diaper row R in which a plurality of diapers 1 are arranged adjacent to one another is contained in the container member 120. As shown in FIG. 1 and other figures, the container 100 of this embodiment has a plurality (two rows) of diaper rows R in the vertical direction, including an upper diaper row (diaper row) R1 located at the top of the storage space S inside the container member 120, and a lower diaper row R2 located at the bottom of the storage space S below the upper diaper row R1. The diaper row R of this embodiment includes the upper diaper row R1 and the lower diaper row R2, but is not limited thereto. For example, the diaper row R may be composed of only one diaper row, or may include one or more diaper rows between the upper diaper row R1 and the lower diaper row R2. When the diaper row R is composed of only one diaper row, the one diaper row becomes the uppermost diaper row R1 in the storage space S.

[0060] In the diaper rows R1 and R2, the diapers 1 with the absorbent body 12 (absorbent main body 10) folded in two at the folding portion are arranged adjacent to each other in the thickness direction of the absorbent body 12, and the diapers 1 are arranged so that the folding portion F is located above or below. Specifically, the container 100 of this embodiment contains the diaper 1 shown in FIG. 2, which is folded in two at the folding portion F in the center of the longitudinal direction of the diaper 1 in the unfolded state shown in FIG. 3 and joined at the joining portions 2 at both side ends to form a pants-type state. At this time, the absorbent main body 10 (absorbent body 12) is folded in two at the folding portion F. As shown in FIG. 5, the diapers 1 are arranged adjacent to each other in the thickness direction of the absorbent body 12. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining the state in which the diapers 1 are stored. In the stored state, the stored diapers 1 are placed in the storage member 120 in a state in which they are in close contact with each other. For convenience, FIG. 5 shows a state in which two of the stored diapers 1 are separated in the left-right direction. The direction shown in Fig. 5 is the direction of the container 100. As shown in Fig. 5, the thickness direction of the absorbent body 12 is aligned with the left-right direction. Moreover, the diaper 1 of this embodiment is arranged so that the folded portion F faces downward.

[0061] In the diaper row R of the present embodiment, all the stored diapers 1 are arranged so that the thickness direction of the absorbent 12 is aligned in the left-right direction and the folded portion F is downward, but this is not limited thereto. For example, all the diapers 1 may be arranged so that the thickness direction of the absorbent 12 is aligned in the front-rear direction, or some of the diapers 1 may be arranged so that the thickness direction of the absorbent 12 is aligned in the left-right direction or the front-rear direction, and the other diapers 1 may be arranged so that the thickness direction of the absorbent 12 is inclined with respect to the left-right direction or the front-rear direction. Also, it is not necessary to arrange all the diapers 1 so that the folded portion F is downward, and all the diapers 1 may be arranged so that the folded portion F is upward, or some of the diapers 1 may be arranged so that the folded portion F is upward and the folded portion F of the other diapers 1 is downward.

[0062] The storage space S inside the storage member 120 refers to the space surrounded by the inner surface of the storage member 120. As shown in Fig. 6, when the space of the storage space S from the upper end of the storage space S to the lower end of the upper diaper row R1 is divided into thirds, the uppermost space is the upper region SA, the lowermost space is the lower region SC, and the space between the upper region SA and the lower region is the middle region SB. Fig. 6 is a view of the storage body 100 as viewed from the front surface 200A.

[0063] For this container 100, the reaction force when the upper region SA is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction is smaller than the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction. Or, the reaction force when the upper region SA is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction is smaller than the reaction force when the middle region SB is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction. The larger the reaction force when each region (each space) is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction, the more densely the diapers 1 are packed in that region, and the smaller the reaction force when each region is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction, the more loosely the diapers 1 are packed in that region.

[0064] In the container 100, the reaction force when the upper region SA is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction is made smaller than the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction, so that the upper region SA is packed with the diapers 1 more loosely than the lower region SC, and the upper region SA has more blank space than the lower region SC. Therefore, when the repellent AM contained in the diaper 1 has volatilized, the repellent AM is more likely to fill the upper region SA than the lower region SC.

[0065] Similarly, by making the reaction force when the upper region SA of the container 100 is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction smaller than the reaction force when the middle region SB is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction, the upper region SA is packed with more diapers 1 than the middle region SB, and the upper region SA has more blank space than the middle region SB. Therefore, when the repellent AM contained in the diaper 1 has volatilized, the repellent AM is more likely to fill the upper region SA than the middle region SB.

[0066] As a result, when a wearer or the like opens the container 100, the repellent AM that fills the upper region SA is more likely to adhere to the person who opens the container (the wearer or the like) or spread to the place or space where the container is opened, than the lower region SC or middle region SB, so that the effect of the repellent AM can be exerted on the person who opens the container and the room where the container is opened. Also, if the repellent AM is a substance (component) that has a scent, the wearer or the like will be more likely to sense the scent of the repellent AM when he or she opens the container 100, so that the wearer or the like will be more likely to recognize that the diaper 1 contained in the container 100 is a product that has the repellent AM.

[0067] The reaction force when each region is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction can be measured by the following method. Fig. 7 is a diagram explaining the method for measuring the reaction force when each region of the container 100 is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction.

[0068] First, the unopened container 100 is placed on a flat surface G, and one side surface 200B of the container 100 (the surface opposite to the side surface 200B against which the load portion 52 of the resistance measuring device 50 abuts) is abutted against a vertical surface such as a wall E. The "unopened state" refers to a state in which the container 100 has never been opened. Then, the resistance measuring device 50 is used to measure the resistance force (resistance value) when each area of ​​the unopened container 100 is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction. The greater the resistance force (resistance value), the greater the reaction force (value of the reaction force).

[0069] The resistance measuring device 50 is a device for measuring the resistance value at the side surface 200B of the housing 100. The resistance measuring device 50 is used to measure the resistance R (resistance value) when compressed by a predetermined length in the left-right direction. As the resistance measuring device 50, for example, a digital force gauge (model number: FGP-0.2) manufactured by Nidec-Shimpo Corporation can be used for measurement. The resistance measuring device 50 includes a main body 51, a load part 52, and a shaft part 53. The main body 51 measures the load at the load part 52 and displays it as a resistance value. The load part 52 and the shaft part 53 are attachments for measurement. The shaft part 53 is a member that connects between the main body 51 and the load part 52. The load part 52 is a member that abuts against the housing 100 and presses the side surface 200B of the housing 100. The load section 52 abuts against the side surface 200B of the housing 100 in a flat surface, and the abutting surface is large enough to cover the area of ​​the side surface 200B in the area (space) to be measured. Specifically, Fig. 7 illustrates a state in which the reaction force of the upper area SA is measured. In the state shown in Fig. 7, the size of the surface of the load section 52 abutting against the side surface 200B of the housing 100 has a vertical length equal to or greater than the vertical length of the area SA, and a front-rear length equal to or greater than the front-rear length of the housing 100.

[0070] 7, the load portion 52 of the resistance measuring device 50 is placed in contact with the side surface 200B of the upper area SA of the housing body 100. At this time, the load portion 52 of the resistance measuring device 50 is not allowed to apply force to the side surface 200B.

[0071] Then, by measuring the resistance force (resistance value) R when the side 200B is compressed a predetermined distance (4 cm in this embodiment) in the left-right direction from the state shown in Figure 7, the value of the reaction force when the upper region SA is compressed a predetermined length (4 cm) along the left-right direction can be obtained. The reaction force values ​​when the middle region SB and the lower region SC are compressed by a predetermined length (4 cm) in the left-right direction can also be obtained in a similar manner.

[0072] It is also preferable that the insect repellent AM provided on the diaper 1 in a state in which it is contained in the container 100 is provided at a position overlapping at least the lower region SC. In this case, it is preferable that the reaction force when the middle region SB is compressed by a predetermined length in the left-right direction is greater than the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed by a predetermined length in the left-right direction.

[0073] That is, the diapers 1 are packed more densely in the middle region SB than in the lower region SC in the storage space S, and the middle region SB has less blank space than the lower region SC. Therefore, the insect repellent AM provided at the position corresponding to the lower region SC is less likely to pass through the middle region SB, and the risk of the insect repellent AM reaching the upper region SA can be reduced. This reduces the risk of the insect repellent AM provided in the diaper 1 leaking out of the storage member 120. In particular, once the storage member 120 is opened, the insect repellent AM is likely to volatilize out of the storage member 120, but the insect repellent AM is more likely to remain in the lower region SC and middle region SB of the storage space S, making it easier for the diaper 1 to maintain the state in which it contains the insect repellent AM.

[0074] In the present embodiment, the reaction force when the upper region SA is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction is smaller than the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction, and the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction is smaller than the reaction force when the middle region SB is compressed by a predetermined length along the left-right direction. The diaper 1 contained in the container 100 is a pants-type diaper including an absorbent main body 10, a ventral waist portion 20, and a rear waist portion 30, as shown in FIG. 2 and other figures. In general, the absorbent body 12 of the absorbent main body 10 is the thickest and has the highest rigidity in the diaper 1. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, when the diaper 1 is viewed in the front-rear direction, a portion Y where the absorbent core 11, the ventral waist portion 20, and the rear waist portion 30 overlap is thicker and has higher rigidity in the up-down direction than a portion X of the absorbent main body 10 below the portion Y. Furthermore, portion X consisting of the ventral waist portion 20 and the rear waist portion 30 above portion Y does not include an absorbent core 11 and is therefore thinner and less rigid than portion Z. Therefore, the thickness of the diaper 1 in the stored state is portion Y>portion Z>portion X.

[0075] 6, when the diaper 1 is stored with the folded portion F facing downward, most of portion Z of the diaper 1 is located in the lower region SC, most of portion Y is located in the middle region SB, and most of portion X and the space where the diaper 1 is not present are located in the upper region SA. Therefore, when each region of the container 100 is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction, the reaction force is higher in the middle region SB than in the lower region SC, and higher in the lower region SC than in the upper region SA.

[0076] In the container 100 of this embodiment, the reaction force when each region is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction is higher in the middle region SB than in the lower region SC, and higher in the lower region SC than in the upper region SA, but this is not limited to this. The reaction force when each region of the container 100 is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction may be the same for the middle region SB and the lower region SC, and may be higher for the middle region SB (lower region SC) than the upper region SA, or the lower region SC may be higher than the middle region SB, and the middle region SB may be higher than the upper region SA. For example, in the case of a container containing multiple tape-type diapers, the reaction force in the lower region SC is higher than that in the middle region SB, and the reaction force in the middle region SB is higher than that in the upper region SA.

[0077] In addition, in the stored state, the repellent AM of the diaper 1 is provided at a position overlapping the lower region SC, but this is not limited thereto. The repellent AM of the diaper 1 may be provided at a position overlapping the middle region SB or the upper region SA.

[0078] The diaper 1 in the container 100 may be provided with a repellent AM at least at a position overlapping with the middle region SB, and the reaction force when the middle region SB is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction may be greater than the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction. This makes it difficult for the repellent AM provided at the position overlapping with the middle region SB to move to the upper region SA, thereby reducing the risk of the repellent AM provided in the diaper 1 leaking out of the container member 120, and making it easier to maintain the state in which the diaper 1 is provided with the repellent AM.

[0079] The diaper 1 of the container 100 may be provided with the repellent AM at least at a position overlapping with the upper region SA, and the reaction force when the middle region SB is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction may be greater than the reaction force when the lower region SC is compressed a predetermined length in the left-right direction. This makes it easier to fill the upper region with the volatilized repellent AM, so that when a wearer or the like opens the container 100, the repellent AM that has filled the upper region SA tends to adhere to the person who opened it (the wearer or the like) or spread to the place or space such as the room where it was opened, and therefore the effect of the repellent AM can be exerted on the person who opened it and the room where it was opened.

[0080] It is preferable that the diapers 1 contained in the container 100 are provided with a repellent AM on the contact surface with the adjacent diaper 1. In Fig. 5, the diaper 1 on the left side is a contact surface where the rear waistline portion 30 and the rear portion of the absorbent main body 10 contact the ventral waistline portion 20 and the ventral portion of the absorbent main body 10 of the diaper 1 on the right side. As shown in Fig. 5, the diaper 1 on the left side is provided with the repellent AM on the contact surface with the adjacent diaper 1 on the right side, which reduces the risk of the repellent AM volatilizing from the diaper 1, making it easier for the diaper 1 to maintain the state in which it is provided with the repellent AM.

[0081] The container 120 is preferably provided with an opening means for forming an opening for removing the contained diaper 1, and the opening means is preferably provided at least in a part of a position corresponding to the upper region SA. By providing the opening means in the upper region SA, when a wearer or the like opens the container 100, the effect of the repellent AM can be exerted on the person who opens it and the room in which it is opened.

[0082] The storage member 120 of the present embodiment has perforations L as an opening means for forming an opening. The perforations L are portions in which through-holes penetrating the storage member 120 in the thickness direction are provided linearly and intermittently. In this manner, since the storage member 120 has the perforations L as an opening means, the repellent AM is easily retained in the storage member 120 in an unopened state before the storage member 120 is cut at the perforations L. Meanwhile, a wearer or the like can easily form an opening by cutting the perforations L provided in the storage member 120, and therefore the diaper 1 in a stored state can be easily taken out from the inside of the storage member 120 through the opening with a simple operation.

[0083] The perforation L of the storage member 120 of this embodiment is a straight perforation along the left-right direction, provided on the top surface 200D of the storage body 100. The left-right length of the perforation L is shorter than the left-right length of the storage body 100, and both side ends of the perforation L do not reach the side surface 200B of the storage body 100.

[0084] The opening means is not limited to the perforation L, and may be a half-cut portion. The half-cut portion is a recess in which the storage member 120 at the portion where the opening is to be provided is thinned in the thickness direction by a blade or a protrusion. The half-cut portion is a portion where the storage member 120 is more likely to be cut by impact or load than a portion where the half-cut is not provided, since the half-cut portion is thin. Therefore, an opening can be formed by applying force to the opening means (half-cut portion). By having the half-cut portion, the repellent AM is easily retained in the storage member 120 in an unopened state, similar to the perforation L, and the wearer can easily form an opening by cutting the storage member 120 at the half-cut portion provided in the storage member 120, so that the diaper 1 in the stored state can be easily taken out from the inside of the storage member 120 through the opening by a simple operation. In addition, the storage member 120 may be provided with a rail fastener, and the opening may be configured to be openable and closable by the rail fastener. By making the opening openable and closable, the risk of the repellent AM in the diaper 1 leaking excessively to the outside of the storage member 120 can be reduced.

[0085] In addition, it is preferable that the total length of the perforations L at the position corresponding to the upper region SA is longer than the total length of the perforations L at the positions corresponding to the middle region SB and the lower region SC. Since the perforations L at the storage member 120 of this embodiment are provided only on the upper surface 200D of the storage body 100, the total length of the perforations L at the position corresponding to the upper region SA is obviously longer than the total length of the perforations L at the positions corresponding to the middle region SB and the lower region SC. This makes it easier for the effect of the repellent AM filled in the upper region SA to be exerted on the person who opened the storage body 100 to take out the diaper 1 from the opening, or on the place or space such as the room where the repellent AM was opened. In addition, the risk of leakage of the repellent AM volatilized from the middle region SB or the lower region SC is reduced, making it easier for the diaper 1 to maintain the state in which the repellent AM is provided.

[0086] Furthermore, it is preferable that the length of the perforation L is equal to or greater than the length W in the direction along the fold F of the diaper 1, and is equal to or less than twice the length W in the direction along the fold F of the diaper 1 (W≦length of perforation L≦W×2). This makes it easier to remove the diaper 1 from the container 100 than when the length of the perforation L is shorter than the length W in the direction along the fold F of the diaper 1 in the stored state. Also, the risk of the repellent AM leaking out of the container member 120 from the opening can be reduced compared to when the length of the perforation L is longer than twice the length W in the direction along the fold F of the diaper 1 in the stored state. With regard to the length W in the direction along the fold F of the stored diaper 1, it is sufficient that the length of at least one perforation L of the multiple diapers 1 stored in the container 100 is equal to or greater than the length W in the direction along the fold F of the diaper 1 and is equal to or less than twice the length W in the direction along the fold F of the diaper 1; it is not necessary that all of the diapers 1 stored in the container 100 have this length relationship.

[0087] The perforation L as the opening means alternates between openings L1 and L2 penetrating the thickness direction of the storage member 120 and non-openings n that do not penetrate the thickness direction of the storage member 120. It is preferable that the perforation L has a portion with different lengths of adjacent openings L1 and L2. In the perforation L of the storage member 120 of this embodiment, the length of the opening L1 is longer than the length of the opening L2. In the perforation L, the longer the opening is, the easier it is to cut as the opening means. Therefore, by having adjacent openings L1 and L2 with different lengths, it is possible to have a portion of L1 that is easy to cut and a portion of L2 that is more difficult to cut than L1. This reduces the risk of forming an excessively large opening, thereby reducing the risk of the repellent AM leaking out of the opening.

[0088] The perforation L of the present embodiment includes an opening portion L1 and an opening portion L2 that are adjacent to each other and have different lengths, but is not limited thereto. The perforation L may have adjacent non-opening portions n with different lengths. Furthermore, the perforation L may have adjacent opening portions L1 and an opening portion L2, and may have adjacent non-opening portions n with different lengths. For example, for the storage member 120 shown in FIG. 1, the length of the opening portion L1 may be longer than the length of the opening portion L2, and the length of the non-opening portion n located to the right of the opening portion L1 may be shorter than the length of the non-opening portion n located between the opening portion L1 and the opening portion L2. This allows the perforation L to have a portion that is easy to open the storage member 120 and a portion that is difficult to open, thereby reducing the risk of forming an excessively wide opening.

[0089] Furthermore, when multiple (two or more) diaper rows R are provided as in the case of the container 100 of this embodiment, it is preferable to provide the perforation L above the lower end of the upper diaper row R1. By providing the perforation L above the lower end of the upper diaper row R1, it is possible to reduce the risk of volatilization of the repellent AM provided in the diapers 1 positioned below the upper diaper row R1.

[0090] The container 100 (the container member 120) may have an opening marking indicating the position of the perforation L (opening means). The opening marking is a marking indicating the position of the opening means such as the perforation L, and may be, for example, a marking indicating the position of the opening means with a pattern such as an arrow or letters, or a marking of a dotted line on the perforation L. The opening marking allows the wearer to easily recognize the position of the perforation L, and reduces the risk of tearing the container member 120 at a place other than the opening means. In addition, since the perforation L may be difficult to recognize from the outside, the position of the perforation L can be accurately recognized. This makes it easier to form an opening by the preset perforation L, and reduces the risk of the opening becoming excessively large or tearing the container member 120 at a place where no opening means is provided, making it easier to maintain the diaper 1 in a state in which the repellent AM is provided.

[0091] Furthermore, like the container 100 of this embodiment, it is preferable that the handle 121 is provided as a separate member from the containing member 120. Providing the handle 121 allows the portion of the containing member 100 to be specified, and since the handle 121 is a separate member from the containing member 120, even if the containing member 100 is grasped and pulled up, the risk of the containing member 120 being stretched is reduced, and the risk of the oxygen permeability of the contracting member 120 increasing is reduced. This makes it easier to retain the repellent AM within the containing member 120, and makes it easier for the diaper 1 to maintain a state in which the repellent AM is provided.

[0092] It is more preferable to provide information on a method for preventing insect bites on any one of the surfaces 200 of the housing member 120. Examples of methods for preventing insect bites include selecting the color of clothing, disinfecting hands and feet, wiping sweat, etc. By providing this information, the wearer can be made aware of how to prevent insect bites, thereby reducing the risk of the wearer being bitten by insects.

[0093] 8A to 8D are diagrams illustrating modified containers 101 to 104. Regarding containers 101 to 104 shown in Figs. 8A to 8D, differences from the above-described embodiment will be mainly described, and components common to the configuration of the above-described embodiment will be given the same reference numerals and will not be described in detail.

[0094] The housing member 120 of the housing body 101 shown in Fig. 8A has a perforation La on the upper surface 200D. Like the perforation La shown in Fig. 8A, the length of the opening portion and the length of the non-opening portion may be approximately uniform, or the perforation La may be provided only on one side in the left-right direction.

[0095] The housing member 120 of the housing 102 shown in FIG. 8B does not have a perforation La on the top surface 200D. As in the housing 102, the perforation Lb may be provided from the side surface 200B to the front surface 200A and the rear surface. Specifically, the perforation Lb continues from one end in the left-right direction of the front surface 200A through the side surface 200B to one end of the rear surface. It is more preferable that the perforation Lb is provided in the upper region SA.

[0096] As in the case of the housing member 120 of the housing 103 shown in FIG. 8C, the perforation Lc may be provided from the upper surface 200D to the front surface 200A. Specifically, the perforation Lc is continuous from the front end of the upper surface 200D to the upper end of the front surface 200A. This perforation Lc is preferably provided in the upper area SA. In addition, it is preferable that the housing 103 has a seal portion Tc bonded to the housing member 120. The seal portion Tc is a member for sealing the opening formed by the perforation Lc (opening means). The seal portion Tc may be formed of the same material as the housing member 120, or may be formed of a different material from the housing member 120. For example, a resin material such as polyethylene or polypropylene can be exemplified.

[0097] The seal portion Tc has a strong adhesion region Tc1 having a predetermined adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion Tc and the storage member 120, and a weak adhesion region Tc2 having a weaker adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion Tc and the storage member 120 than the strong adhesion region Tc1. It is preferable that such a seal portion Tc is provided in a state of being adhered to the storage member 120 so as to cover at least a part of the perforation Lc. Even after an opening is formed in the storage member 120 in order to open the storage body 103, the seal portion Tc can be used to seal the opening, thereby reducing the risk of the repellent AM leaking from the opening to the outside of the storage member 120.

[0098] Furthermore, it is more preferable that the containing member 120 is provided with a marking for encouraging resealing. For example, by providing a marking with letters or a pattern encouraging the wearer to seal the opening using the seal portion Tc or the like, the wearer or the like can easily seal the opening, reducing the risk of the repellent AM leaking from the opening to the outside of the containing member 120, making it easier for the diaper 1 to maintain the state in which the repellent AM is contained, and when the containing member 120 with the sealed opening is opened again to open the opening, the repellent AM can easily exert its effect on the person who opened it and in the space such as the room where it was opened.

[0099] In addition, it is preferable that the storage member 120 is provided with a warning label to prevent the plurality of diapers 1 from being removed from the storage member 120 and transferred to another container or bag. If the diapers 1 containing the volatile repellent AM are removed from the storage member 120 and transferred to another container or bag, the repellent AM may volatilize during the transfer operation, or in the case of a container or bag that is not compatible with the volatile repellent AM, the repellent AM may volatilize from the container or bag after transfer. Therefore, by providing the storage member 120 with a warning label to prevent the plurality of diapers 1 from being transferred from the storage member 120 to another container or bag, it becomes easier to store the diapers 1 containing the repellent AM in a storage member 120 compatible with the repellent AM, and it becomes easier to maintain the state in which the diapers 1 contain the repellent AM.

[0100] As shown in FIG. 8D, the housing member 120 of the housing body 104 may have a shape in which the material (surface) of the housing member 120 is extended to form a handle 121. The housing body 104 has the extended portions of the side surfaces 200B on both sides bonded together to form the upper surface 200D, and the extended portions of the front surface 200A and the back surface bonded together to form the handle region 200E. The handle region 200E is formed by providing a handle opening 1122 for inserting a hand at the upper end of the handle region 200E. As in the housing body 104, the handle region 200E may have a perforation Ld. Specifically, the perforation Ld is a linear perforation along the left-right direction provided on the surface of the front surface 200A side, below the portion where the front surface 200A and the back surface are bonded together, in the handle region E.

[0101] 8C , the container 104 has a seal portion T in the container member 120. The seal portion Td is a member for sealing the opening formed by the perforation Ld, and may be made of the same material as the container member 120 or may be made of a different material from the container member 120.

[0102] The seal portion Td has a strong adhesion region Td1 having a predetermined adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion Td1 and the storage member 120, and a weak adhesion region Td2 having a weaker adhesive strength between the seal portion Td and the storage member 120 than the strong adhesion region Td1. In this way, it is preferable that the seal Td is provided in a state of being adhered to the storage member 120 so as not to cover the perforation Ld. In the storage body 104, the seal portion Td is adhered to the side surface 200B. Even after an opening is formed in the storage member 120 in order to open the storage body 104, the seal portion Td2 is peeled off from the side surface 200B and the opening is sealed with the seal Td, thereby reducing the risk of the repellent AM leaking from the opening to the outside of the storage member 120, making it easier to maintain the state in which the diaper 1 is provided with the repellent AM, and when the storage member 120 with the sealed opening is opened again to open the opening, the effect of the repellent AM is easily exerted on the person who opened it and on the space such as the room where it was opened.

[0103] Also, the seal portion Td may not have two regions Td1 and Td2 in which the adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion Td and the storage member 120 is different. For example, the seal portion Td may have a configuration in which the adhesive strength per unit area between the seal portion Td and the storage member 120 is uniform over substantially the entire area. With such a seal Td, the opening after opening can be sealed, and the opening can be opened again by removing the seal Td after sealing. In other words, the opening can be repeatedly opened and closed. Furthermore, the seal portion Td may be a collectable material. For example, by providing points or patterns on the seal portion Td, it becomes an opportunity for the wearer to collect the seal portion Td, and it becomes easier to motivate the wearer to purchase the storage body 104.

[0104] The diaper 1 of the container 100 may have the following features. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the reference region aa and the comparison region ab. FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 are diagrams for explaining each region of the diaper 1. FIG. 9 to FIG. 11 are schematic diagrams seen from the non-skin side, and for convenience, members such as the elastic members 23, 33 are omitted. The ventral side in the longitudinal direction is also called one side, and the back side is also called the other side. In the diaper 1, the regions in the vertical range where the joint 2 is located are called the "ventral waistline portion 1F" and the "back waistline portion 1B", and the region below the ventral waistline portion 1F and the back waistline portion 1B is called the "crotch portion 1C". The "crotch portion" is a region that is located under the crotch of the wearer when worn. Specifically, in the case of a pants-type disposable diaper such as the diaper 1, the region below the joints 2 at both ends in the width direction when in the pants-type state is called the crotch portion 1C. In the case of a tape-type disposable diaper, when the disposable diaper is folded in half at the fold in the center of the longitudinal direction, the crotch portion is defined as the lowermost area when the disposable diaper is divided into two equal parts longitudinally.

[0105] As shown in Figure 9, the diaper 1 in an unfolded and stretched state has a square reference area aa measuring 1 cm in the longitudinal and width directions, a square comparison area ba measuring 1 cm in the longitudinal and width directions, and a back end area Hb.

[0106] The center ac of the reference region aa is located at the center cb12 between the center position CL of the diaper 1 and the position of the back end 12bc of the absorbent core in the longitudinal direction, and is located at the center position CC of the diaper 1 in the width direction. The back end region Hb is a region from one side to the other in the width direction of the back waist portion 30, and has a length of 1 cm on one side from the back end 30e in the longitudinal direction of the diaper 1. Regardless of the position of the comparison region ba in the back end region Hb of the diaper 1, the basis weight of the repellent AM in the reference region aa may be higher than the basis weight of the repellent AM in the comparison region ba. For example, even if the comparison region ba is located at the position of the region ba1 in the back end region Hb, the basis weight of the repellent AM in the reference region aa is higher than the basis weight of the region ba1. Even if the comparison region ba is located at the position of the region ba2, the basis weight of the repellent AM in the reference region aa is higher than the basis weight of the region ba2. Even if the comparison region ba is placed at the position of the region ba3, the basis weight of the repellent AM in the reference region aa is higher than that of the region ba3. The length of the longitudinal direction of each of the regions ba1, ba2, and ba3 is 1 cm, and the length of the transverse direction is 1 cm.

[0107] Regardless of where the comparison area ba is positioned in the rear end region Hb, the basis weight of the repellent AM in the reference region aa is higher than the basis weight of the repellent AM in the comparison area ba, so that the amount of repellent AM used in the diaper 1 can be reduced compared to when the basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear end region Hb is equal to or greater than the basis weight of the reference region aa.

[0108] The diaper 1 has an outer sheet (non-skin side sheet) 14 located closest to the skin in the crotch portion 1C, and a back sheet (skin side sheet) 13 adjacent to the outer sheet 14 from the skin side, and the outer sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 are joined with an adhesive such as a hot melt adhesive. As shown in FIG. 10, the crotch portion 1C of the diaper 1 has a ventral crotch region (one side crotch region) 1Ca and a dorsal crotch region (other side crotch region) 1Cb. The ventral crotch region 1Ca is a region from the ventral end of the crotch portion 1C in the longitudinal direction to the central position CL of the diaper 1. The dorsal crotch region 1Cb is a region from the dorsal end of the crotch portion 1C in the longitudinal direction to the central position CL of the diaper 1.

[0109] The maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the dorsal crotch region 1Cb may be higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the ventral crotch region 1Ca. The higher the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13, the more likely it is that the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 will peel off, making it less likely that unevenness due to peeling of the sheets will be formed on the skin-side surface of the exterior sheet 14 or the non-skin-side surface of the back sheet 13, and reducing the risk that insects such as mosquitoes will land on the dorsal crotch portion 1C. This provides an insect repellent effect in the dorsal crotch region 1Cb and allows the amount of insect repellent used in the diaper 1 to be reduced.

[0110] In the case where the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the back crotch region (one side crotch region) 1Cb is higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the ventral crotch region (one side crotch region) 1Ca, it is preferable that the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the back crotch region 1Cb is higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the ventral crotch region 1Ca. This reduces the formation of unevenness on the surface of the back side (back crotch region 1Cb) of the diaper 1 due to peeling between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13, thereby reducing the risk of mosquitoes landing on the back crotch part 1C of the diaper 1, and, together with the effect of the repellent AM provided in the back crotch region 1Cb of the diaper 1, it is possible to increase the repellent effect of the back side portion (back crotch region 1Cb) of the diaper 1 while reducing the risk of excessive use of insect repellent. In addition, when the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire ventral crotch region 1Ca is higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire dorsal crotch region 1Cb, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the ventral crotch region 1Ca may be made higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the dorsal crotch region 1Cb.

[0111] In the case where the maximum peel strength between the outer sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the back crotch region (one side crotch region) 1Cb is higher than the maximum peel strength between the outer sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the back crotch region (one side crotch region) 1Ca, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the back crotch region 1Cb may be higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the back crotch region 1Cb. This reduces the formation of unevenness on the surface of the back side (back crotch region 1Cb) of the diaper 1 due to peeling between the outer sheet 14 and the back sheet 13, thereby reducing the risk of mosquitoes landing on the back crotch part 1C of the diaper 1, and the repellent AM provided in the back crotch region 1Ca exerts an insect repellent effect on both the front and back sides of the wearer while reducing the risk of excessive use of the insect repellent AM, thereby reducing the risk of being bitten by insects. In addition, when the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire ventral crotch region 1Ca is higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire ventral crotch region 1Cb, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear crotch region 1Cb may be higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the ventral crotch region 1Ca.

[0112] As shown in FIG. 10, the crotch portion 1C has a central region Cc and a side region Ce. The central region Cc is a central region in the width direction when the crotch portion 1C is divided into three equal parts in the width direction. The side regions Ce are regions located on both sides of the central region. The central region Cc in the back crotch region 1Cb is the back central region Cbc, and the side regions Ce in the back crotch region 1Cb are the back side region Cbe. The maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire back side region Cbe may be higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire back center region Cbc. By reducing the risk of the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the back side region Cbe peeling off, the risk of insects such as mosquitoes landing on the back side region Cbe can be reduced, which makes it easier to improve the insect repellent effect in the region near the leg opening LH of the diaper 1. As with the rear crotch region 1Cb, the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 throughout the entire ventral side region Cae may be higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 throughout the entire ventral central region Cac.

[0113] On the other hand, the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the back central region Cbc may be higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the back side region Cbe. This reduces the risk that the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 will be completely peeled off in the back crotch region 1Cb, and unevenness caused by peeling between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 will be exposed throughout the entire area of ​​the back crotch region 1Cb. This reduces the risk that insects such as mosquitoes will land on the back crotch region 1Cb, making it easier to improve the insect repellent effect of the back crotch region 1Cb. Note that, similar to the back crotch region 1Cb, the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the ventral central region Cac may be higher than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire area of ​​the ventral side region Cae.

[0114] In the rear crotch region 1Cb, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear side regions Cbe may be higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear central region Cbc. This makes it easier to improve the insect repellent effect in the region near the rear leg opening LH of the diaper 1 when worn, compared to when the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear central region Cbc is higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear side regions Cbe. Similarly, in the ventral crotch region 1Ca, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear side regions Cae may be higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the rear central region Cac.

[0115] On the other hand, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the back central region Cbc of the back crotch region 1Cb may be higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the back side regions Cbe. The repellent AM in the back central region Cbc, which is provided in a larger amount than the back side regions Cbe, can exert its effect toward the leg openings LH on both sides in the width direction, thereby reducing the risk of excessive use of the repellent AM in the diaper 1. Similarly, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the ventral central region Cac of the ventral crotch region 1Ca may be higher than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the ventral side regions Cae.

[0116] 11, the back crotch region 1Cb has a first region Cb1 and a second region Cb2. The first region Cb1 is a region located at the center in the longitudinal direction and the center in the width direction when the back crotch region 1Cb is divided into thirds in the longitudinal direction and the width direction. The second region Cb2 is a region of the back crotch region 1Cb excluding the first region Cb1. The maximum value of the peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire first region Cb1 may be equal to or greater than the maximum value of the peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 in the entire second region Cb2. This reduces the risk that the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 are completely peeled off in the rear crotch region 1Cb, resulting in exposure of unevenness caused by peeling of the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 over the entire rear crotch region 1Cb, compared to when the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 over the entire first region Cb1 is lower than the maximum peel strength between the exterior sheet 14 and the back sheet 13 over the entire second region Cb2. Therefore, it is difficult for insects such as mosquitoes to land on the rear crotch region 1Cb, which makes it easier to increase the insect repellent effect of the rear crotch region 1Cb. The ventral crotch region 1Ca may have the same configuration as the rear crotch region 1Cb.

[0117] In addition, the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the first region Cb1 may be equal to or greater than the maximum basis weight of the repellent AM in the second region Cb2. This allows the repellent AM in the first region Cb provided in the central portion (middle) of the back crotch region 1Cb to be effective toward the leg openings LH on both sides in the width direction. This reduces the risk of excessive repellent AM being provided in the diaper 1.

[0118] Furthermore, as described above, the crotch portion 1C has the back sheet 13, which is a liquid-impermeable sheet provided on the non-skin side of the absorbent core 12. The repellent AM may be provided at least on the non-skin side of the back sheet 13. This reduces the risk that the repellent AM provided on the non-skin side of the back sheet 13 (liquid-impermeable sheet) will permeate into the absorbent core 12, and reduces the risk that the repellent AM will mix with excrement such as urine absorbed during wear.
