[0010] The following matters become clear from this specification and the accompanying drawings:

[0011] (Aspect 1) A container set comprising an absorbent article container and a cleaning liquid container, wherein the absorbent article container comprises an article container member having a first mark indicating a brand name and a second mark indicating a cooling sensation, and an absorbent article contained in the article container member, the cleaning liquid container comprises a cleaning liquid container having the first mark and the second mark, and a cleaning liquid contained in the cleaning liquid container, the article container member having a first color region of a first color visible from the outside, or the absorbent article having a first color region visible from the outside when in use, and the cleaning liquid container having a second color region of a second color visible from the outside, and both the first and second colors are L * a * b * In the color space, a indicates the direction of red. * A container set characterized by having a color within the range of a hue angle between 65 degrees and 280 degrees, with the axis of the color being defined as 0 degrees.

[0012] According to the container set of Embodiment 1, since both the first and second colors are within the above range (blue or green), a cooling sensation can be evoked for both the absorbent article and the cleaning solution. Furthermore, since each container is marked with the first and second labels, consumers can associate it with a common brand and the provision of a predetermined quality (in this case, a cooling effect).

[0013] (Aspect 2) The absorbent article comprises a top sheet positioned closer to the skin than the absorbent material, and a second sheet positioned between the absorbent material and the top sheet, wherein the second sheet is provided with the first color region, as described in Embodiment 1.

[0014] According to the containment set of Embodiment 2, the first color area (colored portion) can be prevented from directly touching the skin. In addition, the first color can be seen through the top sheet, which can evoke a feeling of coolness.

[0015] (Aspect 3) The container set according to embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, characterized in that the label attached to the cleaning solution container is provided with the second color area.

[0016] According to the container set of Embodiment 3, the label has a second color area, which allows the second color to be clearly visible from the outside of the cleaning solution container, thus evoking a feeling of coolness.

[0017] (Aspect 4) The container set according to embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, characterized in that the cleaning solution is the second color.

[0018] According to the container set of Embodiment 4, a cooling sensation can be evoked when using the cleaning solution. Furthermore, if the cleaning solution container is transparent or semi-transparent, the color of the cleaning solution (second color) can be seen from the outside, which can also evoke a cooling sensation.

[0019] (Appendix 5) The container set according to embodiment 1 or embodiment 2, characterized in that the label attached to the cleaning liquid container is provided with the second color region, and the cleaning liquid is the second color.

[0020] According to the container set of Embodiment 5, since both the container (label) and the cleaning solution contain a second color, a feeling of coolness can be more reliably evoked.

[0021] (Aspect 6) A container set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 5, further comprising a combination of another absorbent article container having a third color region of a third color different from the first color, and another cleaning liquid container having a fourth color region of a fourth color different from the second color, wherein the range of the hue angle of the first and second colors is 170 degrees or more and 280 degrees or less, and the range of the hue angle of the third and fourth colors is 65 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less.

[0022] According to the containment set of embodiment 6, combinations with different cooling effects can be configured, and the difference in cooling effect can be recognized by the difference in color (for example, blue and green).

[0023] (Aspect 7) A container set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 6, further comprising a combination of another absorbent article container having a fifth color region of a fifth color different from the first color, and another cleaning liquid container having a sixth color region of a sixth color different from the second color, wherein the color difference ΔE between the first color and the fifth color is 0.8 or more, and the color difference ΔE between the second color and the sixth color is also 0.8 or more.

[0024] According to the containment set of Embodiment 7, it is possible to create combinations with different cooling effects, and the difference in cooling effects can be recognized by the difference in color (for example, the difference between blue and dark blue).

[0025] (Pattern 8) The container set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 7, characterized in that the absorbent article and the cleaning solution each contain menthol and another cooling agent that provides a longer-lasting cooling sensation than menthol, and the proportions of menthol and the other cooling agent differ between the absorbent article and the cleaning solution.

[0026] According to the containment set of embodiment 8, by having different ratios of menthol and other cooling agents in the absorbent article and the cleaning solution, a cooling effect suitable for the respective uses of the absorbent article and the cleaning solution can be achieved.

[0027] (Aspect 9) The container set according to embodiment 8, characterized in that the cleaning solution contains more menthol than the other cooling agent than the absorbent article.

[0028] According to the containment set of embodiment 9, the cooling effect can be enhanced in cleaning solutions where a strong cooling sensation is required.

[0029] (Aspect 10) The container set according to embodiment 8 or 9, characterized in that the proportion of menthol in the cleaning solution is greater than the proportion of the other cooling agents, and the proportion of menthol in the absorbent article is smaller than the proportion of the other cooling agents.

[0030] According to the containment set of embodiment 10, the high proportion of menthol in the cleaning solution enhances the cooling effect. In the absorbent article, the high proportion of other cooling agents allows the cooling sensation to be maintained for a longer period when worn.

[0031] (Aspect 11) The container set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 7, characterized in that the absorbent article comprises menthol and another cooling agent that provides a longer-lasting cooling sensation than the menthol, and the cleaning solution comprises only the menthol.

[0032] According to the containment set of embodiment 11, the cooling effect can be enhanced by including menthol in the cleaning solution. The cooling sensation can be maintained for a longer period when worn by including other cooling agents in the absorbent article.

[0033] (Aspect 12) The container set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 7, characterized in that the absorbent article comprises menthol and a first cooling agent that provides a longer-lasting cooling sensation than the menthol, and the cleaning solution comprises menthol and a second cooling agent that provides a longer-lasting cooling sensation than the menthol, wherein the first cooling agent provides a longer-lasting cooling sensation than the second cooling agent.

[0034] According to the containment set of embodiment 12, the cooling agent contained in the absorbent article has a long-lasting effect, allowing the cooling sensation to be maintained for an extended period while wearing the garment.

[0035] (Aspect 13) A container set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 12, characterized in that the cleaning liquid container is provided with a design that shows a cooling effect so that it is visible from the outside, the article container member is provided with the design so that it is visible from the outside, or the absorbent article is provided with the design so that it is visible from the outside when in use.

[0036] According to the container set of embodiment 13, a design that indicates a cooling effect (for example, an ice design) is provided in common to both the cleaning liquid container and the absorbent article container, thereby further evoking a feeling of coolness in each case.

[0037] (Aspect 14) A storage unit set according to any one of embodiments 1 to 13, characterized in that a wet sheet having a cooling effect is further provided in a wet sheet storage unit which is housed in a sheet storage member, and the sheet storage member is also affixed with the first and second markings.

[0038] According to the container set of embodiment 14, the absorbent article container, the cleaning liquid container, and the wet wipe container are each marked with a first and second indicator, which provides a sense of uniformity and reassurance.

[0039] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that identical or equivalent components, members, etc., shown in each drawing will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations may be omitted as appropriate. Furthermore, in this embodiment, "cooling sensation" may be referred to as "cold sensation." For example, a cooling agent may also be called a cold agent.

[0040] ===Implementation Method=== <Containment Set> Figure 1 is an explanatory diagram of the containment set 100.

[0041] The container set 100 comprises an absorbent article container 1 and a cleaning liquid container 50. The absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50 are supplied by a common supplier (in this case, Unicharm Corporation). However, the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50 do not necessarily have to be supplied directly by the supplier; they may be supplied through a so-called OEM. In this embodiment, "set" refers to a combination in the product lineup. When selling, they may be sold together (as a set) or sold individually (in this case, the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50 separately). The same applies to the modifications described later.

[0042] <Absorbent material container> Figure 2 is an explanatory diagram of the absorbent article container 1.

[0043] The absorbent article container 1 is a component that contains an absorbent article 10. The absorbent article container 1 has an absorbent article 10 and an article containing component 40. In the figure, the absorbent article container 1 has multiple absorbent articles 10, but the absorbent article container 1 may have only one absorbent article 10.

[0044] Absorbent item 10 is an item that absorbs the wearer's excretions (e.g., menstrual blood or urine). For example, absorbent item 10 may be a sanitary napkin, panty liner, absorbent pad, or disposable diaper. This explanation will focus on the case where absorbent item 10 is a sanitary napkin. In the following explanation, the area that the absorbent item 10 comes into contact with, such as the wearer's excretory opening (vaginal opening) and its vicinity, may be referred to as the "delicate area."

[0045] Figure 3 is a schematic plan view of the absorbent article 10 in its stretched state, as seen from the skin side. Figure 4 is a schematic plan view of the absorbent article 10 in its stretched state, as seen from the non-skin side. Figure 5 is an explanatory diagram of the laminated structure in the XX cross-section of Figure 3.

[0046] In the following description of the absorbent article 10, the product's longitudinal direction is sometimes referred to as the "longitudinal direction," the product's width direction (perpendicular to the longitudinal direction) is sometimes referred to as the "width direction," and the direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal and width directions 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 that comes into 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 is sometimes referred to as the "non-skin side." Furthermore, "stretched state" refers to the state in which the product (absorbent article 10) is stretched without wrinkles. In the stretched state, the dimensions of each component constituting the product (absorbent article 10) will be the same as or close to the dimensions of the individual component.

[0047] As shown in Figures 3 to 5, the absorbent article 10 has, in order from the skin side in the thickness direction, a pair of side sheets 14, a top sheet 12, a second sheet 15, an absorbent 11, and a back sheet 13. The absorbent article 10 is constructed by laminating these components (the pair of side sheets 14, the top sheet 12, the second sheet 15, the absorbent 11, and the back sheet 13). Each component is joined to an adjacent component in the thickness direction by an adhesive (e.g., hot melt adhesive).

[0048] The absorbent body 11 is a component that absorbs and retains excrement. Here, the absorbent body 11 is composed of an absorbent core 11A, an upper sheet 11B, and a lower sheet 11C. However, the absorbent body 11 is not limited to a configuration in which the absorbent core 11A is sandwiched between two sheets; for example, the absorbent core 11A may be wrapped in a wrap sheet.

[0049] The top sheet 12 is a liquid-permeable sheet positioned closer to the skin than the absorbent core 11. The back sheet 13 is a liquid-impermeable sheet positioned further away from the skin than the absorbent core 11. The top sheet 12 and the back sheet 13 are larger than the absorbent core 11. The absorbent core 11 is held between these sheets by joining the outer edges of the side sheets 14 and the top sheet 12 with those of the back sheet 13.

[0050] The side sheet 14 extends outward in the width direction of the top sheet 12 and, together with the back sheet 13, forms the wing portion 22.

[0051] The second sheet 15 is a liquid-permeable sheet placed between the absorbent material 11 and the top sheet 12. The second sheet 15 has functions such as preventing backflow of excrement, improving the diffusion of excrement, and improving cushioning.

[0052] Furthermore, the second seat 15 of this embodiment is provided with a colored area R1 (corresponding to the first color area). The colored area R1 is an area colored with a color that gives a feeling of coolness.

[0053] The method for forming the colored area R1 is not particularly limited, but for example, it can be formed by applying a coloring agent (ink, etc.) to the surface (skin-facing surface) of the second sheet 15. In this embodiment, by forming the colored area R1 on the second sheet 15, it is possible to prevent the colored area R1 (colored portion) from directly touching the wearer's skin. In addition, since the color of the colored area R1 on the second sheet 15 can be seen through the top sheet 12, it can evoke a feeling of coolness. The color of the colored area R1 will be described later.

[0054] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the absorbent article 10 has a main body portion 21 and a pair of wing portions 22.

[0055] The main body portion 21 is a band-shaped part located in the center of the width direction of the absorbent article 10. The wing portion 22 is a part that extends outward from the main body portion 21 in the width direction. Adhesive portions 23 are provided on the non-skin side of the main body portion 21 and the wing portion 22 (the non-skin side of the back sheet 13).

[0056] The adhesive portion 23 is the part that adheres to underwear, etc. By adhering the adhesive portion 23 to underwear, etc., the absorbent article 10 is fixed to the underwear, etc. The adhesive portion 23 of the main body portion 21 is attached to the skin-facing side of the underwear, and the adhesive portion 23 of the wing portion 22 is attached to the non-skin-facing side of the underwear. Note that the absorbent article 10 does not necessarily have to have an adhesive portion 23.

[0057] The absorbent article 10 contains a cooling agent. The cooling agent is a substance that provides a cooling sensation to the user. The cooling agent can provide a cooling sensation to the wearer of the absorbent article 10, thereby reducing discomfort caused by stuffiness and stickiness. It is desirable that the cooling agent be placed in the center of the width direction of the absorbent article 10. Here, the cooling agent is placed on the main body 21 of the absorbent article 10. Specifically, the cooling agent is applied to the non-skin side of the top sheet 12. By placing the cooling agent in the center of the width direction of the absorbent article 10, the cooling agent can be positioned opposite the wearer's excretory opening (vaginal opening), making it easier to provide a cooling effect to the wearer. Furthermore, by applying the cooling agent to the top sheet 12, the cooling agent can be placed over the entire length of the absorbent article 10. However, the application area of ​​the cooling agent is not limited to this. For example, the cooling agent may also be applied to the skin side of the second sheet 15. Furthermore, the cooling agent may be placed in a portion of the longitudinal direction of the absorbent article 10. Details of the cooling agent will be described later.

[0058] Figure 6 is an explanatory diagram of the form of the absorbent article 10 when it is contained. The absorbent article 10 is packaged in a folded state by the packaging material 31. The component shown in Figure 6 (the component in which the folded absorbent article 10 is packaged in the packaging material 31) is sometimes called an "individual package". The packaging material 31 is a sheet-like component that individually packages the absorbent article 10. The packaging material 31 is removed from the absorbent article 10 when it is to be used. By packaging the absorbent article 10 with the packaging material 31, the volatilization of the cooling agent can be suppressed. It is desirable that the packaging material 31 has a film layer to suppress the volatilization of the cooling agent. The absorbent article 10 may also be contained in the article storage component 40 in a form other than the individual package 30. For example, if the absorbent article 10 is a disposable diaper, it does not need to be individually packaged.

[0059] The article storage member 40 (see Figures 1 and 2) is a member for storing absorbent articles 10. Here, the article storage member 40 stores multiple absorbent articles 10 by storing multiple individual packaging bodies 30 as shown in Figure 6. The absorbent articles 10 are distributed and stored while stored in the article storage member 40. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the article storage member 40 is configured as a roughly hexahedral corner bag with multiple faces having intersecting "up and down directions," "left and right directions," and "front and back directions." Note that the article storage member 40 is not limited to being configured as a hexahedron, but may be configured as other polyhedra or shapes. For example, the article storage member 40 may be configured as gusset packaging with a gusset, or as pillow packaging.

[0060] The article storage member 40 is made of a resin film, for example, polyethylene (PE). However, the material constituting the article storage member 40 is not limited to polyethylene (PE), but may also be made from a film-like material such as a synthetic resin film made of polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Furthermore, the article storage member 40 is not limited to being made of a resin film, but may also be made of paper, for example.

[0061] The front surface (hereinafter referred to as the front) of the article storage member 40 is adorned with various markings and designs (first marking M1, second marking M2, design G1, design G2, etc.). These markings and designs will be described later.

[0062] Furthermore, the front surface of the article storage member 40 is provided with a colored area R1 of the same color as the colored area R1 of the absorbent article 10. In other words, the article storage member 40 has a colored area R1 that is visible from the outside. In this embodiment, the colored area R1 is provided on the front surface of the article storage member 40, but it is not limited to this and may be provided on other surfaces. Also, the colored area R1 may be formed on multiple surfaces. However, it is desirable that the colored area R1 be provided on the surface (in this case, the front surface) to which the various displays and figures described above are attached. This allows the displays (first display M1, second display M2, etc.) and the colored area R1 to be visible simultaneously. In addition, in this embodiment, the colored area R1 (including the colored area R1 of the design G2) is provided on almost the entire front surface of the article storage member 40, but it is not limited to this and may be provided on a part of the surface (for example, the upper half of the front surface).

[0063] <Washing liquid container> As shown in Figure 1, the cleaning liquid container 50 includes a cleaning liquid container 51 and a cleaning liquid 52. A label 53 is attached to the cleaning liquid container 51.

[0064] The cleaning solution container 51 is a container for holding the cleaning solution 52. In this embodiment, it is a push-pump type container, but it is not limited to a push-pump type; other types of containers (for example, a cap type) may also be used.

[0065] Furthermore, the cleaning solution container 51 is a transparent (or semi-transparent) container. This allows the color and amount (remaining amount) of the contained cleaning solution 52 to be visible from the outside, as shown in Figure 1. However, the cleaning solution container 51 may be opaque (it is not necessary for the color and amount of the cleaning solution 52 to be visible from the outside).

[0066] The label 53 attached to the cleaning solution container 51 has the same markings as the article storage member 40 (first marking M1, second marking M2) and a design G1. The label 53 also has a colored area R2 (corresponding to the second color area). The colors of these markings and the colored area R2 will be described later.

[0067] The cleaning solution 52 in this embodiment is a liquid for cleaning delicate areas, and the cleaning solution 52 contains a cooling agent and a fragrance. The cooling agent and other components contained in the cleaning solution 52 will be described later.

[0068] Furthermore, the cleaning solution 52 in this embodiment is the same color as the colored region R2. As mentioned above, since the cleaning solution container 51 is transparent (or semi-transparent), the color of the contained cleaning solution 52 can be seen from the outside, except at the location where the label 53 is attached.

[0069] <Regarding the display and design> As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the article storage member 40 is marked with a first mark M1 indicating the brand name and a second mark M2 indicating the cooling effect. Also, as shown in Figure 1, the label 53 attached to the cleaning liquid storage container 51 is marked with a first mark M1 indicating the brand name and a second mark M2 indicating the cooling effect. Thus, the absorbent article storage body 1 and the cleaning liquid storage body 50 are marked with the first mark M1 and the second mark M2, respectively. These marks are recognized by consumers through their vision. For this reason, these marks are composed of letters, figures, symbols, colors, or combinations thereof so that they can be recognized visually.

[0070] The first mark M1 is a mark designed to allow consumers to recognize the brand name visually. The first mark M1 can also be called the brand mark. The first mark M1 consists of a mark (sign) that distinguishes the product from other products so that the brand name can be recognized. An example of the first mark M1 is a trademark. If a trademark is used for the first mark M1, the trademark may or may not be registered. In this case, the first mark M1 consists of a combination of the letters and figures of "SOFY," but the first mark M1 may consist only of letters, only of figures, or may include elements other than letters and figures (e.g., symbols). Consumers recognize the brand name of the product to which the first mark M1 is attached (in this case, the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50) by visually viewing the first mark M1. Even if the shape, size, etc. of the article container 40 and the label 53 are different, consumers can recognize a common brand name by visually viewing the first mark M1.

[0071] The first marking M1 affixed to the article storage member 40 and the first marking M1 affixed to the label 53 do not have to be exactly the same. For example, if the first marking M1 affixed to the article storage member 40 and the label 53 are the same, it is permissible for them to differ in size, etc. Even if the size of the first marking M1 differs, consumers can recognize the common brand name by visually noticing that the same first marking M1 is affixed to the article storage member 40 and the label 53 (the same applies to the second marking M2, which will be described later, in that it is permissible for them to differ in size, etc.).

[0072] By attaching the common first mark M1 to the article storage member 40 and the label 53, consumers can recognize that the brands are common, and as a result, consumers can associate the absorbent article storage body 1 and the cleaning liquid storage body 50 with a predetermined quality (in this case, a cooling effect).

[0073] The second label, M2, is a label designed to make consumers aware of the cooling effect through visual means. The second label, M2, can also be called a cooling label (or cooling effect label) or a sub-brand. The second label, M2, will include descriptions related to the cooling effect, either directly or indirectly. In this case, the second label, M2, consists of the words "Cooling Fresh," and the cooling effect is primarily indicated by the word "Cooling" (the cooling effect is also indicated secondarily by the word "Fresh"). The second label, M2, is not limited to those containing the word "Cool," as long as it allows consumers to recognize that a cooling effect is obtained. For example, the second label, M2, can be a label that directly indicates that a cooling (cooling) effect is obtained, or it can be a label that indirectly indicates the cooling effect using words different from "cool," such as "freeze," "ice," or "flowing water."

[0074] By attaching the second mark M2 common to both the article storage member 40 and the label 53, consumers can be reminded that the absorbent article storage body 1 and the cleaning liquid storage body 50 both provide a cooling effect.

[0075] Pattern G1 is a visual representation (graphic) designed to convey a sense of coldness. In this example, pattern G1 represents snow. However, it is not limited to snow; it could also represent wind, ice, flowing water, or other elements. In Figure 3, pattern G1 on the absorbent article 10 is formed, for example, by embossing.

[0076] By providing the common design G1 on the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50, consumers can be made to associate that the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50 provide a common cooling effect. In the absorbent article container 1 of the present embodiment, the design G1 is provided on both the article storage member 40 and the absorbent article 10, but it may be provided on either one (the article storage member 40 or the absorbent article 10). Further, the design G1 of the absorbent article 10 only needs to be visible from the outside when the absorbent article 10 is in use. For example, the design G1 may be attached to the packaging material 31 so that the design G1 is visible in the individually packaged state. Note that the design G1 may not be provided on the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50.

[0077] The design G2 is a display (figure) showing the absorbent article 10 stored in the article storage member 40. The coloring region R1 of the absorbent article 10 is also shown in the design G2. Thus, by providing the design G2 on the article storage member 40, the cooling effect of the absorbent article 10 can be more readily recalled from the outside. Note that the design G2 may not be provided on the article storage member 40.

[0078] <Regarding the coloring region> The colors of the coloring region R1 and the coloring region R2 are desirably colors that evoke a cooling sensation (cool feeling). Examples of colors that evoke a cool feeling include green or blue.

[0079] Green is a color within the range of hue angle h of 65 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less when the axis in the red direction is set to 0 degrees in the CIE1976 (L * a * b * ) color space. Therefore, in the L * a * C * h color space, the lightness L * and the chroma C * are arbitrary values. Therefore, the chromaticity a * is a value of 0 or less, and the lightness L * and the chromaticity b *The value of is arbitrary. Preferably, the green color is a h color with a hue angle of 100 degrees or more and 150 degrees or less. An example of the green color defined herein is the color corresponding to 358C in the PANTONE® color chart.

[0080] The blue color is CIE1976(L) as defined in JIS Z 8729. * a * b * ) In the color space, a * When the axis in the red direction is set to 0 degrees, the color is within the range of h h, which is between 170 degrees and 280 degrees. Therefore, L * C * In the h color space, lightness L * and saturation C * is an arbitrary value. Therefore, degree a * This is a value less than or equal to 0, and the brightness L * and chromaticity b * The value of is arbitrary. It is preferable that the blue color is a h color with a hue angle range of 180 degrees or more and 250 degrees or less.

[0081] In other words, it is desirable that the color of colored region R1 (corresponding to the first color) and the color of colored region R2 (corresponding to the second color) have a hue angle h within the range of 65 degrees to 280 degrees.

[0082] In this embodiment, both colored region R1 and colored region R2 are blue, and the range of the hue angle h is 170 degrees or more and 280 degrees or less. Note that the color of colored region R1 and the color of colored region R2 do not have to be exactly the same color (the same hue angle h); it is sufficient if the hue angle h is close within the above range (blue). The same applies to the color of the cleaning solution 52. This makes it possible to imagine that the absorbent article 10 of the container set 100 and the cleaning solution 52 have a similar cooling effect.

[0083] <About cooling agents> A cooling agent is a substance used to provide a cooling sensation to the user. By providing a cooling sensation to the user with a cooling agent, discomfort caused by stuffiness and stickiness can be reduced. As already explained, the cooling agent is provided in the absorbent article 10 and is also included in the cleaning solution 52.

[0084] Cooling agents (hereinafter also referred to as cooling components) are components (substances) that impart a cooling sensation to the user. Cooling components are sometimes called fragrances. Cooling components are substances that stimulate the user's temperature sense and are substances that stimulate temperature-sensitive TRP channels. The mechanisms by which cooling components impart a cooling sensation to the user include: 1) producing a cooling sensation through an endothermic reaction, 2) producing a cooling sensation through evaporative cooling, and 3) producing a cooling sensation by stimulating temperature-sensitive TRP channels. Of these, producing a cooling sensation by stimulating temperature-sensitive TRP channels has the advantage that it can impart a cooling sensation even if the temperature has not actually decreased, thus preventing excessive cooling of the skin.

[0085] Examples of substances that stimulate receptive TRP channels (cooling components) include menthol, eucalyptol, camphor, isopulegol, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, methyl salicylate, menthol glycerin acetal (MGA), menthyl lactate, menthyl ethylaminooxalic acid, menthyl succinate, 3-(menthyloxy)propane-1,2-diol, 3-l-menthoxy-2-methylpropane-1,2-diol, p-menthane-3,8-diol, and N-ethyl-p-menthane-3-carbamide. TRPM8, one of the temperature-sensitive TRP channels, is a cold stimulus receptor that acts as a cold sensor, and examples of substances that activate TRPM8 (cooling components) include menthol (for example, l-menthol). Furthermore, from the perspective of user comfort, it is desirable that the cooling components be plant-derived compounds.

[0086] The cooling agent in the absorbent article 10 and the cooling agent in the cleaning solution 52 do not have to be the same (they may be different). This is because the desired cooling effect differs between the absorbent article 10 and the cleaning solution 52. For example, the cooling agent in the absorbent article 10 gradually provides a cooling effect to the wearer due to body pressure and movement after wearing (because the cooling agent applied to the non-skin side of the top sheet 12 gradually comes into contact with the wearer's skin), so a sustained cooling effect is desired. In contrast, the cooling agent in the cleaning solution 52 comes into direct contact with the user's skin, so an immediate cooling effect is desired. Therefore, by making the cooling agents in the absorbent article 10 and the cleaning solution 52 different, it is possible to provide a cooling effect suitable for the respective uses of the absorbent article 10 and the cleaning solution 52.

[0087] Furthermore, it is desirable that the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10 have the same cooling agent. In this embodiment, the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10 contain menthol as a common cooling agent (cooling component). This allows for a consistent cooling effect from the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10. However, menthol has the disadvantage of having a short-lived cooling effect. Therefore, the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10 in this embodiment also contain another cooling agent (hereinafter referred to as cooling agent A) that has a longer-lasting cooling effect than menthol. An example of cooling agent A is menthyl lactate.

[0088] Thus, when the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10 contain two common cooling agents (in this case, menthol and cooling agent A), the proportions of the common cooling agents in the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10 may be different. By having different proportions of menthol and cooling agent A in the absorbent article 10 and the cleaning solution 52, a cooling effect suitable for the respective uses of the absorbent article 10 and the cleaning solution 52 can be achieved.

[0089] Specifically, in the above case, it is desirable that the cleaning solution 52 contains more menthol than the absorbent article 10 and more menthol than the cooling agent A. This is because, as mentioned above, the cooling agent in the absorbent article 10 is desired to have a sustained cooling effect, while the cooling agent in the cleaning solution 52 is desired to provide an immediate cooling effect. By including a large amount of fast-acting menthol in the cleaning solution 52, the cooling effect can be enhanced in cleaning solutions where a strong cooling sensation is required.

[0090] Furthermore, it is desirable that the proportion of menthol in the cleaning solution 52 is greater than the proportion of cooling agent A, and that the proportion of menthol in the absorbent article 10 is smaller than the proportion of cooling agent A. In the cleaning solution 52, a higher proportion of menthol can enhance the cooling effect. In the absorbent article 10, a higher proportion of cooling agent A can maintain a cooling sensation for a longer period of time when worn.

[0091] Furthermore, the absorbent article 10 may contain menthol and cooling agent A, while the washing solution 52 may contain only menthol. Including menthol in the washing solution 52 can enhance the cooling effect. Including cooling agent A in addition to menthol in the absorbent article 10 allows the cooling sensation to be maintained for a longer period when worn.

[0092] Furthermore, the cooling agents other than menthol may differ between the absorbent article 10 and the washing solution 52. For example, the absorbent article 10 may contain menthol and cooling agent B (corresponding to the first cooling agent), and the washing solution 52 may contain menthol and cooling agent C (corresponding to the second cooling agent). In this case, it is desirable that cooling agent B has a longer-lasting cooling sensation than cooling agent C. The longer-lasting cooling sensation of cooling agent B than that of cooling agent C allows the cooling sensation to be maintained for a longer period when wearing the absorbent article 10.

[0093] Furthermore, the cleaning solution 52 may contain a cooling agent not present in the absorbent article 10, and the absorbent article 10 may contain a cooling agent not present in the cleaning solution 52. This makes it easier to achieve suitable characteristics for both the absorbent article 10 and the cleaning solution 52.

[0094] Furthermore, the above-described configuration is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the proportion of the common cooling agent in the cleaning solution 52 and the absorbent article 10 may be the same. Also, the cooling agent in the cleaning solution 52 and the cooling agent in the absorbent article 10 do not necessarily have to contain a common cooling component.

[0095] As explained above, in this embodiment, the first display M1 and the second display M2 are applied to both the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50. This allows consumers to associate the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50 with a common brand and to provide a predetermined quality (in this case, a cooling effect). Furthermore, since the colored area R1 of the absorbent article container 1 and the colored area R2 of the cleaning liquid container 50 (and the color of the cleaning liquid 52) are both blue, they can evoke a feeling of coolness.

[0096] In this embodiment, the absorbent article container 1 had the colored area R1 provided on both the article container member 40 and the absorbent article 10, but it is sufficient if it is provided on at least one of them (the article container member 40 or the absorbent article 10).

[0097] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the colored area R1 was provided on the second sheet 15 of the absorbent article 10, but this is not limited to this, and it is sufficient as long as it is visible from the outside when the absorbent article 10 is in use. For example, the colored area R1 may be provided on the top sheet 12. Alternatively, the colored area R1 may be provided on the back sheet 13 so that it is visible from the non-skin side. Alternatively, the colored area R1 may be provided on the packaging material 31 so that it is visible in the individually packaged state. The same applies to the modifications described later.

[0098] <<First variation>> Figure 7 is an explanatory diagram of the first modified container set 100A. This container set 100A is a set of containers with a different cooling effect (specifically, a slightly weaker cooling effect than container set 100) compared to the aforementioned container set 100. Except for the cooling effect (and the color indicating the cooling effect), it is the same as the embodiment described above.

[0099] The container set 100A includes an absorbent article container 1A and a cleaning liquid container 50A.

[0100] The absorbent article container 1A is a component that contains the absorbent article 10A. The absorbent article container 1A comprises the absorbent article 10A and the article containing component 40A.

[0101] Figure 8 is a schematic plan view of the absorbent article 10A in its stretched state, as seen from the skin side. As shown in Figure 8, the second sheet 15A of the absorbent article 10A is provided with a colored area R3 (corresponding to the third color area).

[0102] As shown in Figure 7, the article storage member 40A also has a colored area R3. The article storage member 40A is also marked with a pattern G2A representing the absorbent article 10A. The pattern G2A also shows the colored area R3 of the absorbent article 10A.

[0103] The cleaning solution container 51 of the cleaning solution container 50A is affixed with a label 53A. Label 53A has a colored area R4 (corresponding to the fourth color area). The cleaning solution container 51 also contains a cleaning solution 52A of the same color as the colored area R4.

[0104] Here, the color of colored region R3 (corresponding to the third color) and the color of colored region R4 (corresponding to the fourth color) are green. In other words, as mentioned above, the range of the hue angle h between the color of colored region R3 and the color of colored region R4 is 65 degrees or more and 180 degrees or less. Note that, as with the previously described embodiment (colored region R1 and colored region R2), the color of colored region R3 and the color of colored region R4 do not have to be exactly the same color (the same hue angle h), but it is sufficient if the hue angle h is close within the above range (green).

[0105] In Figure 1, the colored areas R1 and R2 of the containment set 100 were blue, while the colored areas R3 and R4 of containment set 100A were green. This allows for the creation of combinations with different cooling effects, and the difference in cooling effect can be recognized by the difference in the color of the colored areas.

[0106] <<Second variation>> Figure 9 is an explanatory diagram of the second modified container set 100B. This container set 100B is a set of containers with a different cooling effect (specifically, a stronger cooling effect than container set 100) compared to the aforementioned container set 100. Except for the cooling effect (and the color indicating the cooling effect), it is the same as the embodiment described above.

[0107] The container set 100B includes an absorbent article container 1B and a cleaning liquid container 50B.

[0108] The absorbent article container 1B is a component that contains the absorbent article 10B. The absorbent article container 1B comprises the absorbent article 10B and the article containing component 40B.

[0109] Figure 10 is a schematic plan view of the absorbent article 10B in its stretched state, as seen from the skin side. As shown in Figure 10, the second sheet 15B of the absorbent article 10B is provided with a colored area R5 (corresponding to the fifth color area).

[0110] As shown in Figure 11, the article storage member 40B also has a colored area R5. The article storage member 40B is also marked with a pattern G2B representing the absorbent article 10B. The pattern G2B also shows the colored area R5 of the absorbent article 10B.

[0111] The cleaning solution container 51 of the cleaning solution container 50B is affixed with a label 53B. The label 53B has a colored area R6 (corresponding to the sixth color area). The cleaning solution container 51 also contains a cleaning solution 52B of the same color as the colored area R6.

[0112] Here, the color of colored region R5 (corresponding to the 5th color) and the color of colored region R6 (corresponding to the 6th color) are dark blue, and their intensity differs from the blue of colored regions R1 and R2.

[0113] The color difference (ΔE) between the color of colored region R1 (blue) and the color of colored region R5 (dark blue) should preferably be 0.8 or greater. Similarly, the color difference (ΔE) between the color of colored region R2 (blue) and the color of colored region R6 (dark blue) should also preferably be 0.8 or greater. This difference in color allows the user to perceive that the containment set 100B has a different cooling effect (a higher cooling effect) compared to the containment set 100.

[0114] The color difference ΔE is measured using a commercially available colorimeter at two points (two regions) to be measured, and the CIE1976(L) colorimeter specified in JIS Z 8729 is used. * a * b * It can be determined by comparing the numerical values ​​obtained based on ). Specifically, the L between the two points to be measured * The difference in values ​​is ΔL * a * The difference is Δa * , b * The difference in values ​​is Δb * When this is the case, the color difference ΔE is given by ΔE = [(ΔL * ) 2 +(Δa * ) 2 +(Δb * ) 2 ] 1 / 2 It is determined by [method].

[0115] This allows for the creation of different combinations of cooling effects, and the differences in cooling effects can be perceived through the difference in color of the colored area (in this case, blue and dark blue).

[0116] <<Third variation>> Figure 11 is an explanatory diagram of a third modified example of the container set 200. The container set 200 in Figure 11 comprises an absorbent article container 1, a cleaning liquid container 50, and a wet wipe container 60. The absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50 are the same as those in the container set 100 (Figure 1) of the previously described embodiment, so their description is omitted.

[0117] <Wet wipe container> Figures 12A and 12B are explanatory diagrams of the wet wipe container 60. Figure 12A is a perspective view of the wet wipe container 60 before opening. Figure 12B is a perspective view of the wet wipe container 60 after opening.

[0118] The wet sheet container 60 is a component that contains the wet sheet 61. The wet sheet container 60 has a wet sheet 61 and a sheet containing member 62.

[0119] The wet sheet 61 is a sheet-like component for wiping the skin. The wet sheet 61 is sometimes called a wet wipe or simply a wipe. The wet sheet 61 in this embodiment is a sheet containing a cooling agent. The wet sheet 61 in this embodiment is a wet sheet (wet wipe) for delicate areas, intended for wiping delicate areas.

[0120] The wet wipe 61 comprises a sheet body and a cooling agent. The sheet body is a sheet-like component made of nonwoven fabric, paper, or the like, and is impregnated with a liquid cooling agent. The cooling agent included in the wet wipe 61 should preferably have a fast-acting cooling effect, similar to the cleaning solution 52.

[0121] The sheet storage member 62 is a member that stores wet wipes 61. In this case, the sheet storage member 62 stores multiple wet wipes 61 (a sheet assembly). The sheet storage member 62 is constructed in the form of gusset packaging having an upper surface and a lower surface. However, the sheet storage member 62 is not limited to being constructed in the form of gusset packaging with a gusset, but may be constructed in other forms as well. For example, the sheet storage member 62 may be constructed in pillow packaging, or in a polyhedral packaging bag such as a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0122] The sheet containment member 62 is made of a liquid-impermeable film. This prevents leakage of the liquid cooling agent impregnated into the wet sheet 61. Examples of liquid-impermeable films include resin films. Furthermore, it is desirable that the sheet containment member 62 be made of a film with gas barrier properties. This prevents the volatilization of the cooling agent. However, the sheet containment member 62 does not necessarily have to have gas barrier properties. Examples of films without gas barrier properties include polyethylene (PE) resin films. Examples of films with gas barrier properties include aluminum foil films, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and biaxially oriented polypropylene (OPP) resin films, aluminum vapor-deposited films, and transparent vapor-deposited films. For example, the sheet containment member 62 is made of a laminated film in which a sealant layer is laminated on a base film on which a thin metal film is laminated.

[0123] The sheet storage member 62 has an opening 62A and a sealing member 62B. The opening 62A is an opening (dispensing port) for taking out the wet sheets 61 stored inside the sheet storage member 62. The sealing member 62B is a member that covers the opening 62A. The sealing member 62B is a member that can be repeatedly adhered to and peeled off the main body of the sheet storage member 62. Here, the sealing member 62B is made of a transparent film. By making the sealing member 62B a transparent material, the display and background color attached to the sheet storage member 62 are made more visible to consumers. However, the sealing member 62B does not have to be made of a transparent film. In this case, some of the various displays (first display M1, second display M2, etc.) described later may be attached to the sealing member 62B. The opening 62A and the sealing member 62B are provided on the upper surface of the sheet storage member 62.

[0124] Furthermore, the aforementioned wet wipe container 60 (specifically the sheet container member 62) is marked with the first indicator M1 and the second indicator M2, similar to the absorbent article container 1 and the cleaning liquid container 50. This allows consumers to recognize that the absorbent article container 1, the cleaning liquid container 50, and the wet wipe container 60 are related, providing a sense of unity and reassurance.

[0125] Furthermore, the sheet storage member 62 is provided with a design G1. In addition, the sheet storage member 62 has a colored area R7 on its upper surface. The colored area R7 is the same color (in this case, blue) as the colored area R1 of the absorbent article storage body 1 and the colored area R2 of the cleaning liquid storage body 50. This allows the absorbent article storage body 1, the cleaning liquid storage body 50, and the wet sheet storage body 60 to evoke a feeling of coolness.

[0126] Here, we have described a set (container set 200) which further adds a wet wipe container 60 to the container set 100 (absorbent article container 1, cleaning liquid container 50), but it is not limited to this. For example, in the combination of the first modified container set 100A (absorbent article container 1A and cleaning liquid container 50A) and the second modified container set 100B (absorbent article container 1B and cleaning liquid container 50B), a corresponding wet wipe container may also be included in each set.

[0127] ===Other=== The embodiments described above are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit its interpretation. The present invention can be modified and improved without departing from its spirit, and it goes without saying that equivalents thereof are included. [Explanation of Symbols]
