Description

【Technical Field】 【0001】 The present disclosure relates to an article of apparel. 【Background Art】 【0002】 Conventionally, articles of apparel such as underwear that are used with disposable absorbent pads worn inside are known. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which an absorbent pad (absorbent insert) is attached to the inner surface (skin side surface) of an article of apparel (outer cover) worn around the lower body of a wearer via surface fasteners provided at both longitudinal ends of the outer cover. 【Prior Art Documents】 【Patent Documents】 【0003】 【Patent Document 1】 Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2013-534457 【Summary of the Invention】 【Problems to be Solved by the Invention】 【0004】 As disclosed in Patent Document 1, in a method of fixing (coupling) only the longitudinal ends of the absorbent pad to the article of apparel, in the worn state, the absorbent pad may be sandwiched between the wearer's groin area, and there is a risk of the absorbent core disposed inside the absorbent pad becoming distorted. As a result, there is a risk that urine leakage or the like may easily occur. 【0005】 On the other hand, if a method is adopted in which the entire back surface of the absorbent pad (the surface facing the inner surface of the garment) is adhered (bonded) to the inner surface of the garment with adhesive tape (double-sided tape, etc.) in order to avoid the distortion of the absorbent core as described above, it becomes difficult to attach the entire back surface of the absorbent pad to the garment without wrinkles occurring. In other words, when a garment that is stretchable in the longitudinal direction is used, if the absorbent pad is attached while the garment is contracted in the longitudinal direction (not fully stretched), there is a risk of misalignment or wrinkles occurring at the adhesive surface between the garment and the absorbent pad. Furthermore, if the adhesive area between the garment and the absorbent pad is large, the flexibility and comfort of the garment will be impaired, and a large force will be required to remove (peel off) the absorbent pad from the garment. 【0006】 Therefore, one aspect of this disclosure is to provide a wearable article that is used in combination with an absorbent pad, which allows for easy attachment and detachment of the absorbent pad while suppressing the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent pad when worn. [Means for solving the problem] 【0007】 An article relating to one aspect of the present disclosure is a reusable cloth undergarment worn around the lower torso of a wearer via an absorbent pad, comprising: a main body having an abdominal portion located on the wearer's ventral side when worn, a dorsal portion located on the wearer's dorsal side when worn, and a crotch portion located between the abdominal and dorsal portions; and a plurality of connecting portions provided on the inner surface of the main body facing the absorbent pad when worn, and configured to be connectable to the absorbent pad, wherein the plurality of connecting portions have an abdominal connecting portion provided on the abdominal portion, a dorsal connecting portion provided on the dorsal portion, and a crotch connecting portion provided on the crotch portion, and the abdominal connecting portion, crotch connecting portion, and dorsal connecting portion are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction in which the abdominal portion, crotch portion, and dorsal portion are aligned. [Effects of the Invention] 【0008】 According to this disclosure, it is possible to provide a wearable article that is used in combination with an absorbent pad, which suppresses the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent pad while being worn, and allows for easy attachment and detachment of the absorbent pad.

[Figure 7] This is a plan view of the wearable item according to the second embodiment, as seen from the skin side. [Figure 8] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of a wearable item along the line VIII-VIII. [Figure 9] This figure shows a wearable article according to a modified example of the second embodiment. [Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0010】 This specification and the accompanying drawings will reveal at least the following embodiments 1 to 20. 【0011】 (Aspect 1) A wearable item which is a reusable cloth undergarment worn around the lower part of the wearer's torso via an absorbent pad, The main body of the wearable article has an abdominal portion located on the wearer's ventral side when the wearer is wearing it, a dorsal portion located on the wearer's dorsal side when the wearer is wearing it, and a crotch portion located between the abdominal portion and the dorsal portion. In the aforementioned wearing state, a plurality of connecting parts are provided on the inner surface of the main body facing the absorbent pad and configured to be connectable to the absorbent pad, Equipped with, The plurality of connecting portions include a ventral connecting portion provided on the ventral side, a dorsal connecting portion provided on the dorsal side, and a crotch connecting portion provided in the crotch area. In the longitudinal direction in which the ventral portion, the crotch portion, and the dorsal portion are aligned, the ventral joint, the crotch joint, and the dorsal joint are spaced apart from each other. Items worn. 【0012】 In Embodiment 1, connecting parts (crotch connecting parts) are provided not only at both ends in the longitudinal direction (ventral and dorsal sides) but also in the crotch area. This prevents the absorbent pad from shifting position relative to the garment when it is attached to the garment (hereinafter referred to as "attached state"), and also prevents the absorbent pad from getting caught in the wearer's crotch area. In other words, if the crotch connecting part is not provided and the absorbent pad is detachable from the garment at the wearer's crotch, the wearer's movements may cause only the absorbent pad to dig into the wearer's crotch area, potentially causing the absorbent core to wrinkle. By connecting the absorbent pad to the garment at the crotch connecting part, the occurrence of the above-mentioned situation can be avoided. 【0013】 In Aspect 1, in the longitudinal direction, the ventral coupling part, the crotch coupling part, and the dorsal coupling part are arranged apart from each other. As a result, the following effects are achieved. A wearing article, which is an undergarment, generally has a force that causes it to contract in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, if a coupling part (the part coupled to the wearing article) is provided on the entire back surface of the absorbent pad (for example, when the entire back surface of the absorbent pad is adhered to the wearing article), it is difficult to attach the absorbent pad to the wearing article in a naturally longitudinally contracted state (hereinafter referred to as the "contracted state"). That is, in order to appropriately attach the absorbent pad to the wearing article, it is necessary to attach the absorbent pad in a state where the wearing article is stretched in the longitudinal direction. However, at this time, it is not possible to fully stretch the wearing article, and wrinkles may form on the coupling surface (adhesive surface, etc.) between the absorbent pad and the wearing article. In addition, since the area of the coupling surface is large, it is not easy to remove the absorbent pad from the wearing article. On the other hand, in the absorbent pad described above, since the coupling parts arranged at both longitudinal ends (ventral part and dorsal part) and the crotch part are arranged apart from each other, the absorbent pad can be easily attached to the wearing article in the contracted state. Further, compared with the case where the entire back surface of the absorbent pad is coupled to the wearing article as described above, the area of the coupling surface can be reduced, so that the absorbent pad can be easily removed from the wearing article. As described above, according to the wearing article having the ventral coupling part, the dorsal coupling part, and the crotch coupling part that are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction, it is possible to easily attach and detach the absorbent pad while suppressing the occurrence of wrinkles in the absorbent pad in the worn state. 【0014】 (Aspect 2) The ventral coupling part is arranged between a front end part, which is an end part on the side opposite to the crotch part side of the ventral part in the longitudinal direction, and the instep part of the ventral part. The wearing article of Aspect 1. 【0015】 According to Aspect 2, the ventral coupling part can be disposed at a position sufficiently close to the ventral end part (front end part) (that is, a position close to the position where the ventral end part of the absorbent pad is disposed). As a result, the ventral coupling part can appropriately position and fix the ventral end part of the absorbent pad. 【0016】 (Aspect 3) The ventral part is provided along the front end part, and has a ventral elastic member that contracts in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction so as to tighten the wearer's torso in the worn state. The ventral coupling part is disposed on the crotch part side of the ventral elastic member in the longitudinal direction. The wearing article according to Aspect 1 or Aspect 2. 【0017】 According to Aspect 3, it is possible to prevent the contraction of the ventral elastic member from being inhibited by the ventral coupling part, and it is possible to prevent the ventral coupling part from contracting in the width direction due to the influence of the ventral elastic member (as a result, it becomes difficult to couple the absorbent pad to the ventral coupling part). 【0018】 (Aspect 4) The length of the ventral coupling part in the width direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction is shorter than the width of the narrowest part of the main body part. The wearing article according to any one of Aspects 1 to 3. 【0019】 According to Aspect 4, it is possible to reduce the useless part of the ventral coupling part that is not coupled to the absorbent pad. Further, when the ventral coupling part is formed of a material harder than the fabric of the main body part, there is a possibility that the discomfort felt by the wearer increases as the area of the ventral coupling part increases. By setting the width of the ventral coupling part as in Aspect 4, the discomfort as described above can be suppressed. 【0020】 (Aspect 5) The dorsal coupling part is disposed between the rear end part, which is the end part on the side opposite to the crotch part side of the dorsal part in the longitudinal direction, and the instep part of the dorsal part. The wearing article according to any one of Aspects 1 to 4. 【0021】 According to embodiment 5, the dorsal connecting portion can be positioned sufficiently close to the dorsal end (rear end) (i.e., close to the position where the dorsal end of the absorbent pad is placed). As a result, the dorsal connecting portion can appropriately position and fix the dorsal end of the absorbent pad. 【0022】 (Aspect 6) The aforementioned dorsal portion has a dorsal elastic member provided along the rear end, which contracts in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction so as to tighten around the wearer's waist when worn, The dorsal connecting portion is positioned in the longitudinal direction on the crotch side of the dorsal elastic member. A wearable item according to any of the following descriptions: 1 to 5. 【0023】 According to embodiment 6, it is possible to prevent the dorsal joint from inhibiting the contraction of the dorsal elastic member, and to prevent the dorsal joint from contracting in the width direction due to the influence of the dorsal elastic member (as a result, it becomes difficult to attach the absorbent pad to the dorsal joint). 【0024】 (Aspect 7) The length of the back joint portion in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is shorter than the width of the narrowest part of the main body. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 6. 【0025】 According to Embodiment 7, the amount of wasted material in the back joint that is not connected to the absorbent pad can be reduced. Also, if the back joint is made of a material harder than the fabric of the main body, the larger the area of ​​the back joint, the greater the discomfort the wearer may feel when wearing it. By setting the width of the back joint as in Embodiment 7, the above-mentioned discomfort can be suppressed. 【0026】 (Pattern 8) The aforementioned crotch joint extends along the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, The length of the crotch joint in the width direction is longer than the length of the crotch joint in the longitudinal direction. A wearable item according to any of the following descriptions: 1 to 7. 【0027】 According to embodiment 8, the crotch joint extending in the width direction can effectively suppress the movement (such as twisting) of the absorbent pad (the part connected to the crotch joint) in the width direction. 【0028】 (Aspect 9) The length of the crotch joint in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is shorter than the length of the ventral joint and the length of the dorsal joint in the width direction. Articles worn in aspect 8. 【0029】 According to embodiment 9, by making the widths of the ventral and dorsal connecting portions located at both ends in the longitudinal direction relatively long, the wearable item and the absorbent pad can be firmly connected. On the other hand, by making the width of the crotch connecting portion located in the crotch area, which has a greater impact on the wearer's comfort, relatively short, the discomfort in the crotch area felt by the wearer when wearing the garment can be reduced. 【0030】 (Aspect 10) The length of the crotch joint in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is shorter than the width of the narrowest part of the main body. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 9. 【0031】 According to embodiment 10, the amount of wasted material in the crotch area that is not connected to the absorbent pad can be reduced. Also, if the crotch area is made of a material that is harder than the fabric of the main body, the larger the area of ​​the crotch area, the greater the discomfort the wearer may feel when wearing the garment. By setting the width of the crotch area as in embodiment 10, the aforementioned discomfort can be suppressed. 【0032】 (Aspect 11) The distance from the first end of the crotch joint in the width direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction to the second end of the crotch joint on the opposite side of the first end in the width direction is 1 / 3 or more of the width of the narrowest part of the main body. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 10. 【0033】 According to embodiment 11, by ensuring a certain width or greater for the crotch joint, movement (such as twisting) in the width direction of the absorbent pad (the part connected to the crotch joint) can be effectively suppressed. 【0034】 (Aspect 12) The aforementioned crotch joint has a first crotch joint and a second crotch joint, The first crotch joint is positioned on the ventral side of the second crotch joint in the longitudinal direction. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 11. 【0035】 According to embodiment 12, by configuring the crotch joint with multiple joints (first crotch joint and second crotch joint), the pinching of the absorbent pad into the wearer's crotch area and, consequently, the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core can be suppressed even more effectively. 【0036】 (Aspect 13) The first crotch joint is positioned on the ventral side of the main body in the longitudinal direction, The second crotch joint is positioned on the dorsal side of the central position. Wearable item according to embodiment 12. 【0037】 According to embodiment 13, by providing a first and second crotch joint corresponding to the urinary and fecal openings, respectively, the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core can be suppressed in positions close to the urinary and fecal openings. As a result, leakage of absorbed waste can be effectively suppressed. 【0038】 (Aspect 14) The first crotch joint and the second crotch joint are arranged asymmetrically with respect to the central position. Wearable item according to aspect 13. 【0039】 (Aspect 15) In the longitudinal direction, the distance from the first crotch joint to the central position is longer than the distance from the second crotch joint to the central position. Wearable item according to aspect 14. 【0040】 (Aspect 16) In the longitudinal direction, the distance from the ventral joint to the first crotch joint is shorter than the distance from the second crotch joint to the dorsal joint. Articles to be worn according to the description in 14 or 15. 【0041】 According to embodiments 14, 15, and 16, the first and second crotch joints can be brought closer to positions corresponding to the urinary and fecal openings. As a result, the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core can be effectively suppressed at positions closer to the urinary and fecal openings, and leakage of excrement can be suppressed even more effectively. 【0042】 (Aspect 17) The rigidity of the first portion of the main body, which is composed of the portion overlapping with the crotch joint and the crotch joint, is lower than the rigidity of the second portion of the main body, which is composed of the portion overlapping with the ventral joint and the ventral joint, and the rigidity of the third portion of the main body, which is composed of the portion overlapping with the dorsal joint and the dorsal joint. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 16. 【0043】 According to embodiment 17, the portion of the absorbent core facing the first portion can be flexibly deformed together with the worn item. 【0044】 (Aspect 18) The rigidity of the crotch joint is lower than that of the ventral joint and the dorsal joint. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 17 to 17. 【0045】 According to embodiment 18, by adjusting the rigidity of the joint, a configuration in which the rigidity of the first part is lower than that of the second part and the third part can be easily realized. 【0046】 (Aspect 19) The multiple connecting portions have a structure in which the connection at the crotch connecting portion is weaker than the connection at the ventral connecting portion and the connection at the dorsal connecting portion. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 18. 【0047】 According to embodiment 19, the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core while wearing the garment can be suppressed, and the absorbent pad can be easily attached and detached. 【0048】 (Aspect 20) The longitudinal length of the region formed by combining the first non-connected region between the ventral joint and the crotch joint and the second non-connected region between the dorsal joint and the crotch joint is more than half the distance between the ventral joint and the dorsal joint. A wearable item according to any of the descriptions in 1 to 19. 【0049】 According to embodiment 20, sufficient size (lengthwise size) of the first non-connected region and the second non-connected region can be secured between the ventral and dorsal connecting portions. As a result, the force required to stretch the garment in the longitudinal direction when attaching or detaching the absorbent pad to the garment, as described above, can be reduced. This makes it even easier to attach and detach the absorbent pad to the garment. 【0050】 [Embodiment] The embodiments of this disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same or equivalent elements will be denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions will be omitted. 【0051】 [First Embodiment] The configuration of the wearable item 1 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is a plan view of the wearable item 1 as seen from the skin side. Figure 2 is a plan view of the wearable item 1 as seen from the non-skin side. Figures 1 and 2 show the wearable item 1 in a state where no wrinkles are formed (hereinafter referred to as the "stretched state"). In this embodiment, the wearable item 1 is a tape-type cloth underwear. 【0052】 In this embodiment, "wearer" refers to the person wearing the wearable item 1 to which the absorbent pad 2 is attached. "Skin side" is the side that faces the wearer's skin when the absorbent pad 2 is worn by the wearer together with the wearable item 1 (hereinafter referred to as "wearing state"). "Non-skin side" is the side that faces away from the wearer's skin when wearing the item. 【0053】 In the following, the longitudinal direction of the wearable item 1 in its stretched state (see Figures 1 and 2) will be referred to as the "longitudinal direction L," the short direction of the absorbent pad 2 perpendicular to the longitudinal direction L will be referred to as the "width direction W," and the direction perpendicular to both the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W will be referred to as the "thickness direction T." Furthermore, a straight line passing through the center of the longitudinal direction L of the wearable item 1 and parallel to the width direction W will be referred to as the "centerline CL." The longitudinal direction L is the direction extending from the front (abdominal side) to the back (dorsal side) of the wearer's body when worn. The width direction W is the direction that coincides with the wearer's left-right direction when worn. The thickness direction T is the direction in which the materials constituting the wearable item 1 (main body 10, connecting part 30, etc., described later) are layered. 【0054】 The garment 1 is a reusable cloth undergarment worn around the lower torso of the wearer via an absorbent pad 2. The absorbent pad 2 is attached to the garment 1 and positioned between the garment 1 and the wearer. 【0055】 The wearable item 1 has a main body 10. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the main body 10 has an inner surface 10a that faces the back surface of the absorbent pad 2 (the back sheet 22 described later) when worn, and an outer surface 10b opposite to the inner surface 10a. The main body 10 is divided into an abdominal portion 101 located on the wearer's ventral side when worn, a dorsal portion 102 located on the wearer's dorsal side when worn, and a crotch portion 103 located between the abdominal portion 101 and the dorsal portion 102. The abdominal portion 101, the crotch portion 103, and the dorsal portion 102 are arranged along the longitudinal direction L from the wearer's ventral side (front) to the dorsal side (back). For example, when the main body 10 is divided into four equal parts along its longitudinal direction L, the area located furthest ventrally corresponds to the ventral part 101, the area located furthest dorsally corresponds to the dorsal part 102, and the two areas located between the ventral part 101 and the dorsal part 102 (i.e., the longitudinal center of the main body 10) correspond to the crotch area 103. 【0056】 Fixing parts 11 are provided at both ends in the width direction W of the inner surface 10a of the dorsal portion 102. The fixing parts 11 are, for example, made up of hooks and loops. In addition, fixing parts 12 corresponding to the fixing parts 11 are provided at both ends in the width direction W of the outer surface 10b of the ventral portion 101. The fixing parts 12 are, for example, made up of loops and loops. As shown in Figure 6, when worn, each fixing part 11 is connected to each fixing part 12. As a result, the leg opening portion 13 is formed by the entire area of ​​the crotch 103, and the side edges in the width direction W of a part of the ventral portion 101 on the crotch 103 side and a part of the dorsal portion 102 on the crotch 103 side (area R in Figure 1). 【0057】 The leg opening portion 13 is the part that forms an opening through which the wearer's legs pass when the garment is worn. An elastic member 14 that contracts along the leg opening portion 13 is provided. An elastic member 15 (ventral elastic member) that contracts in the width direction W to tighten around the wearer's waist when the garment is worn is provided along the front end portion 101a of the ventral portion 101. An elastic member 16 (dorsal elastic member) that contracts in the width direction W to tighten around the wearer's waist when the garment is worn is provided along the rear end portion 102a of the dorsal portion 102. The elastic members 14, 15, and 16 are, for example, flat rubber, stretchable sheet, etc. 【0058】 The main body portion 10 is formed in a gourd shape (or hourglass shape) when viewed from the thickness direction T, and the narrowest part 17 is formed in the crotch area 103 where the width of the main body portion 10 (length in the width direction W) is minimized. 【0059】 The inner surface 10a is provided with a plurality of connecting parts 30 configured to be connectable to the absorbent pad 2. "Connecting" means being fixed to the absorbent pad 2 to a degree that allows for attachment and detachment, and includes various means such as engagement and adhesion. The connecting parts 30 may be composed of, for example, a region including a plurality of pins (hook structures) having claw portions at their ends. The plurality of connecting parts 30 include a ventral connecting part 31, a dorsal connecting part 32, and a crotch connecting part 33. The ventral connecting part 31 is provided on the ventral portion 101 of the inner surface 10a. The dorsal connecting part 32 is provided on the dorsal portion 102 of the inner surface 10a. The crotch connecting part 33 is provided on the crotch portion 103 of the inner surface 10a. In the longitudinal direction L, the ventral connecting part 31, the crotch connecting part 33, and the dorsal connecting part 32 are spaced apart from each other. 【0060】 The multiple connecting parts 30 have a structure in which the connection at the crotch connecting part 33 is weaker than the connections at the ventral connecting part 31 and the dorsal connecting part 32 (hereinafter referred to as the "specific connecting structure"). In other words, when the absorbent pad 2 is connected to the wearable item 1 via the multiple connecting parts 30, the force required to release the connection between the absorbent pad 2 and the wearable item 1 at the crotch connecting part 33 is smaller than the force required to release the connection between the absorbent pad 2 and the wearable item 1 at the ventral connecting part 31 or the dorsal connecting part 32. Specific examples of the configuration of the connecting parts 30 will be described later. 【0061】 As an example, the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32 have the same rectangular shape when viewed from the thickness direction T. The ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32 are formed in a rectangular shape extending in the width direction W (i.e., a rectangular shape in which the length in the width direction W is longer than the length in the longitudinal direction L). The crotch joint 33 (in this embodiment, the first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332, respectively, described later) have a smaller rectangular shape when viewed from the thickness direction T than the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. The crotch joint 33 is also formed in a rectangular shape extending in the width direction W, similar to the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. As an example, the length in the longitudinal direction L of the crotch joint 33 is the same as the length in the longitudinal direction L of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32, respectively. On the other hand, the length in the width direction W of the crotch joint 33 is shorter than the length in the width direction W of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32, respectively. The center positions in the width direction W of the ventral joint 31, the dorsal joint 32, and the crotch joint 33 coincide with the center position in the width direction W of the main body 10. 【0062】 Next, the absorbent pad 2 attached to the wearable item 1 will be described with reference to Figures 3 to 6. Figure 3 is a plan view of the absorbent pad 2 as seen from the skin side. Figure 4 is a plan view of the absorbent pad 2 as seen from the non-skin side. Figure 5 is a plan view of the wearable item 1 with the absorbent pad 2 attached. Figure 6 is a perspective view of the wearable item 1 with the absorbent pad 2 attached. 【0063】 The absorbent pad 2 has a main body 20. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the main body 20 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the thickness direction T in the extended state. The main body 20 has a surface sheet 21, a back sheet 22, and an absorbent 23. The various components such as the surface sheet 21, the back sheet 22, and the absorbent 23 can be joined together using a known material such as an adhesive. 【0064】 The surface sheet 21 is positioned on the skin side of the wearer and is a liquid-permeable sheet that faces the wearer's skin when worn. The surface sheet 21 can be formed from, for example, a liquid-permeable nonwoven or woven fabric, a synthetic resin film with liquid-permeable pores, or a composite sheet thereof. 【0065】 The backing sheet 22 is positioned on the side not directly against the wearer's skin and is a liquid-impermeable sheet that faces the worn item 1 when worn. The backing sheet 22 can be formed from, for example, a liquid-impermeable nonwoven fabric, a synthetic resin film, or a composite sheet thereof. 【0066】 The absorbent body 23 is positioned between the surface sheet 21 and the back sheet 22. The absorbent body 23 includes an absorbent core 23a and a core wrap (not shown) that covers the absorbent core 23a. The absorbent core 23a is a component that absorbs the wearer's excrement and has liquid absorbency and liquid retention properties. The absorbent core 23a is, for example, a laminate of absorbent materials including crushed pulp or superabsorbent polymer (SAP), or a mixture thereof. The core wrap is, for example, tissue or a nonwoven fabric sheet. 【0067】 As shown in Figure 3, in this embodiment, as an example, the absorbent core 23a is formed in a gourd shape (or hourglass shape) when viewed from the thickness direction T, and has a constricted shape in the central part in the longitudinal direction L of the absorbent core 23a. That is, the width of the absorbent core 23a (length in the width direction W) is maximum in the part including both the ventral and dorsal ends, and minimum in the part including the approximate center in the longitudinal direction L of the absorbent core 23a. 【0068】 A pair of leg-side gathers 24 are provided on both sides of the main body 20 in the width direction W. The leg-side gathers 24 extend along the longitudinal direction L to substantially the entire area of ​​the main body 20. At both ends of the leg-side gathers 24 in the longitudinal direction L, there are fixing regions B (areas shown by diagonal hatching in Figure 3) where the leg-side gathers 24 and the surface sheet 21 are fixed to each other in the fixing regions B, for example, by bonding with adhesive, ultrasonic bonding, or heat fusion using an embossing roll. 【0069】 The leg side gathers 24 are configured to stand upright by contracting in the longitudinal direction L. More specifically, the leg side gathers 24 have an elastic member 25 that extends along the longitudinal direction L between a pair of fixed regions B provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction L. For example, the elastic member 25 is made of one or more (three in this embodiment) elastic threads. The leg side gathers 24 are made to stand upright by the elastic member 25 contracting in the longitudinal direction L. When worn, the elastic member 25 contracts and the leg side gathers 24 stand upright, which suppresses leakage (lateral leakage) of excrement to the outside of the main body 20. That is, when the leg side gathers 24 stand upright, a leak-proof cuff is formed to prevent excrement from leaking to the outside by traveling along the surface of the surface sheet 21. 【0070】 Figure 3 shows the leg side gather 24 folded inward in the width direction W. Therefore, in Figure 3, the top portion 24a of the leg side gather 24 is located inside the outer end portion of the main body portion 20 in the width direction W. In this embodiment, as an example, the back sheet 22 is integrated with the leg side gather 24. As a result, the outer end portion of the main body portion 20 in the width direction W coincides with the upright pivot point 24b of the leg side gather 24. The upright pivot point 24b is the base portion (folding point) of the rising portion of the leg side gather 24 and extends in the longitudinal direction L. 【0071】 As shown in Figure 5, the wearable item 1 has a larger shape than the absorbent pad 2. That is, the length L in the longitudinal direction of the wearable item 1 is longer than the length L in the longitudinal direction of the absorbent pad 2. Also, the width (length W in the width direction) of the absorbent pad 2 is shorter than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17 of the wearable item 1 (see Figure 1). In this embodiment, the absorbent pad 2 is attached to the approximate center of the wearable item 1 in the longitudinal direction L and the width direction W. More specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the surface 22a of the back sheet 22 of the absorbent pad 2 is provided with a plurality of corresponding areas 40 that correspond to each of the plurality of connecting parts 30 provided on the inner surface 10a of the wearable item 1. Each corresponding area 40 is an area having a surface that can be connected to each connecting part 30. The multiple corresponding regions 40 include a corresponding region 41 corresponding to the ventral joint 31, a corresponding region 42 corresponding to the dorsal joint 32, and a corresponding region 43 corresponding to the crotch joint 33 (in this embodiment, a corresponding region 431 corresponding to the first crotch joint 331 and a corresponding region 432 corresponding to the second crotch joint 332). The absorbent pad 2 is attached to the wearable item 1 by the multiple joints 30 being connected to their respective corresponding regions 40. 【0072】 Furthermore, areas of the back sheet 22 other than the corresponding area 40 (non-corresponding areas) may also be configured to be connectable to the connecting portion 30, but it is preferable that the corresponding area 40 is configured to be more strongly connected to the connecting portion 30 than the non-corresponding areas. Also, from the viewpoint of convenience for the wearer who attaches the absorbent pad 2 to the wearable item 1, it is preferable that the corresponding area 40 is configured in a manner that can be distinguished from the non-corresponding areas (for example, by a different material, color, etc.). 【0073】 [Effects of the First Embodiment] In the wearable item 1, connecting parts 30 (crotch connecting parts 33) are provided not only at both ends in the longitudinal direction L (ventral part 101 and dorsal part 102) but also at the crotch area 103. This prevents the absorbent pad 2 from shifting position relative to the wearable item 1 when the absorbent pad 2 is attached to the wearable item 1 (hereinafter referred to as "attached state"), and also prevents the absorbent pad 2 from getting caught in the wearer's crotch area. In other words, if the crotch connecting parts 33 were not provided and the absorbent pad 2 could be separated from the wearable item 1 at the wearer's crotch area, the wearer's movements could cause only the absorbent pad 2 to dig into the wearer's crotch area, potentially causing the absorbent core 23a to wrinkle. By connecting the absorbent pad 2 to the wearable item 1 at the crotch connecting parts 33, the occurrence of the above situation can be avoided. 【0074】 Furthermore, in the garment 1, the ventral joint 31, the crotch joint 33, and the dorsal joint 32 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction L. This provides the following effect. The garment 1, being a cloth undergarment, generally has a tendency to contract in the longitudinal direction L. In this embodiment, the elastic member 14 is provided along the leg opening portion 13 of the garment 1, making the crotch area 103 particularly prone to contraction in the longitudinal direction L. For this reason, if a joint (the portion that connects to the garment 1) were provided across the entire back surface of the absorbent pad 2 (for example, if the entire back surface of the absorbent pad 2 were to be bonded to the garment 1), it would be difficult to attach the absorbent pad 2 to the garment 1 in its naturally contracted state in the longitudinal direction L (hereinafter referred to as the "contracted state"). In other words, in order to properly attach the absorbent pad 2 to the garment 1, it is necessary to attach the absorbent pad 2 while the garment 1 is stretched in the longitudinal direction L. However, in this case, the garment 1 may not be stretched sufficiently, and wrinkles may form on the bonding surface (adhesive surface, etc.) between the absorbent pad 2 and the garment 1. Furthermore, because the bonding surface area is large, it is not easy to remove the absorbent pad 2 from the garment 1. In contrast, with the absorbent pad 2 described above, the bonding parts 30 located at both ends in the longitudinal direction L (ventral part 101 and dorsal part 102) and the crotch area 103 are spaced apart from each other, so the absorbent pad 2 can be easily attached to the garment 1 when it is contracted. Also, compared to the case where the entire back surface of the absorbent pad 2 is bonded to the garment 1 as described above, the bonding surface area can be reduced, making it possible to easily remove the absorbent pad 2 from the garment 1. As described above, a wearable article 1 having a ventral joint 31, a dorsal joint 32, and a crotch joint 33 that are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction L, makes it possible to easily attach and detach the absorbent pad 2 while suppressing the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent pad 2 when worn. 【0075】 Furthermore, the garment 1 has a specific bonding structure (a structure in which the bond at the crotch bonding portion 33 is weaker than the bonds at the ventral bonding portion 31 and the dorsal bonding portion 32). The ventral bonding portion 31 and the dorsal bonding portion 32 usually require a relatively high bonding force (strength to bond with the absorbent pad 2). For example, when the garment 1 is moved together with the absorbent pad 2 to fit the garment 1 to the wearer's body, the bonding force of the ventral bonding portion 31 and the dorsal bonding portion 32 is set to such an extent that the ends of the absorbent pad 2 in the longitudinal direction L (i.e., the parts bonded by the ventral bonding portion 31 and the dorsal bonding portion 32) do not come off the garment 1 due to friction with the wearer's body. For this reason, if the crotch bonding portion 33 were to be given the same bonding force as the ventral bonding portion 31 and the dorsal bonding portion 32, the absorbent pad 2 would be strongly bonded to the garment 1 throughout the entire ventral, dorsal, and crotch area, making it difficult to remove the absorbent pad 2 from the garment 1. In contrast, in the wearable item 1, the multiple connecting parts 30 have the above-described specific connecting structure, so that the wearable item 1 and the absorbent pad 2 are firmly connected at the ventral connecting part 31 and the dorsal connecting part 32, while the absorbent pad 2 can be easily removed from the wearable item 1 at the crotch connecting part 33. Furthermore, the attachment of the absorbent pad 2 at the crotch connecting part 33 can be easily performed as follows. That is, first, the absorbent pad 2 (corresponding area 41 and corresponding area 43) is connected to the ventral connecting part 31 and the dorsal connecting part 32 of the wearable item 1 in a contracted state. At this time, because the wearable item 1 is contracted in the longitudinal direction L, there is a possibility that the crotch connecting part 33 may not be connected to the appropriate position (corresponding area 43) of the absorbent pad 2. Even in that case, by forcefully stretching the garment 1, which is connected to the absorbent pad 2 at the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32, in the longitudinal direction L, the connection between the absorbent pad 2 and the garment 1 at the crotch joint 33 will temporarily detach. Then, when the garment 1 is sufficiently stretched in the longitudinal direction L and the crotch joint 33 and the absorbent pad 2 come into contact (i.e., the crotch joint 33 faces the appropriate mounting position (corresponding area 43) on the absorbent pad 2), the crotch joint 33 and the absorbent pad 2 can be reconnected.As described above, the wearable article 1 having a specific bonding structure allows for easy attachment and detachment of the absorbent pad 2 while suppressing the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core when worn. 【0076】 The detailed configuration of each part of this embodiment and the effects obtained by this configuration will be described below. 【0077】 As described above, the ventral joint 31, the crotch joint 33 (in this embodiment, the first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332), and the dorsal joint 32 are spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction L. As a result, a non-connected region UR1 (first non-connected region) where no joint 30 exists is formed between the ventral joint 31 and the crotch joint 33 (in this embodiment, the first crotch joint 331 located on the ventral side of the crotch joint 33). Furthermore, a non-connected region UR2 (second non-connected region) where no joint 30 exists is formed between the dorsal joint 32 and the crotch joint 33 (in this embodiment, the second crotch joint 332 located on the dorsal side of the crotch joint 33). The length in the longitudinal direction L of the combined non-connected region UR1 and non-connected region UR2 (i.e., "D1 + D2") is set to be more than half the distance D between the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. In other words, multiple connecting parts 30 are arranged such that "D1 + D2 > D / 2" is satisfied. With the above configuration, sufficient size of the non-connecting regions UR1 and UR2 (size in the longitudinal direction L) can be secured between the ventral connecting part 31 and the dorsal connecting part 32. As a result, the force required to stretch the wearable item 1 in the longitudinal direction L when attaching or detaching the absorbent pad 2 to the wearable item 1 as described above can be reduced. This makes it even easier to attach and detach the absorbent pad 2 to the wearable item 1. 【0078】 As shown in Figure 1, the ventral connecting portion 31 is positioned in the longitudinal direction L between the front end 101a, which is the end of the ventral portion 101 opposite to the crotch area 103, and the leg opening portion 13 of the ventral portion 101 (i.e., the ventral end in the range R of Figure 1). With this configuration, the ventral connecting portion 31 can be positioned sufficiently close to the ventral end (front end 101a) (i.e., close to the position where the ventral end of the absorbent pad 2 is placed). As a result, the ventral connecting portion 31 can appropriately position and fix the ventral end of the absorbent pad 2. 【0079】 The ventral portion 101 is provided along the front end portion 101a and has an elastic member 15 that contracts in the width direction W to tighten around the wearer's waist when worn, and the ventral connecting portion 31 is positioned on the crotch side 103 side of the elastic member 15 in the longitudinal direction L. That is, the ventral connecting portion 31 is positioned so as not to overlap with the elastic member 15. With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the contraction of the elastic member 15 from being hindered by the ventral connecting portion 31, and to prevent the ventral connecting portion 31 from contracting in the width direction W due to the influence of the elastic member 15 (as a result, it is possible to prevent the absorbent pad 2 from being attached to the ventral connecting portion 31). 【0080】 As shown in Figure 1, the width L1 of the ventral joint 31 (length of the ventral joint 31 in the width direction W) is shorter than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17 of the main body 10. As shown in Figure 5, the width of the absorbent pad 2 is usually shorter than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17. In other words, the wearable item 1 has a shape that is larger than the absorbent pad 2 when viewed from the thickness direction T. Therefore, even if the width L1 of the ventral joint 31 is extended longer than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17, the extended portion will not overlap with the absorbent pad 2 and will not be connected to the absorbent pad 2, resulting in waste. Furthermore, if the ventral joint 31 is made of a material harder than the fabric of the main body 10, the larger the area of ​​the ventral joint 31, the greater the discomfort the wearer may feel when wearing it. As described above, by setting the width L1 of the ventral joint 31 to satisfy "width L1 < width Lmin", the waste and discomfort described above can be suppressed. 【0081】 As shown in Figure 1, the dorsal connecting portion 32 is positioned in the longitudinal direction L between the rear end portion 102a, which is the end of the dorsal portion 102 opposite to the crotch portion 103, and the leg opening portion 13 of the dorsal portion 102 (i.e., the dorsal end portion in the range R of Figure 1). With this configuration, the dorsal connecting portion 32 can be positioned sufficiently close to the dorsal end portion (rear end portion 102a) (i.e., close to the position where the dorsal end portion of the absorbent pad 2 is placed). As a result, the dorsal connecting portion 32 can appropriately position and fix the dorsal end portion of the absorbent pad 2. 【0082】 The back portion 102 is provided along the rear end portion 102a and has an elastic member 16 that contracts in the width direction W to tighten around the wearer's waist when worn, and the back connecting portion 32 is positioned on the crotch side 103 side of the elastic member 16 in the longitudinal direction L. That is, the back connecting portion 32 is positioned so as not to overlap with the elastic member 16. With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent the contraction of the elastic member 16 from being hindered by the back connecting portion 32, and to prevent the back connecting portion 32 from contracting in the width direction W due to the influence of the elastic member 16 (as a result, it is possible to prevent the absorbent pad 2 from being attached to the back connecting portion 32). 【0083】 The width L2 of the back joint portion 32 (the length of the back joint portion 32 in the width direction W) is shorter than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17 of the main body portion 10. For the reasons mentioned above, even if the width L2 of the back joint portion 32 is extended longer than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17, the extended portion will not overlap with the absorbent pad 2 and will not be connected to the absorbent pad 2, thus becoming wasted. Furthermore, if the back joint portion 32 is made of a material harder than the fabric of the main body portion 10, the larger the area of ​​the back joint portion 32, the greater the discomfort the wearer may feel when wearing it. As described above, by setting the width L2 of the back joint portion 32 to satisfy "width L2 < width Lmin", the waste and discomfort described above can be suppressed. 【0084】 The crotch joint portion 33 extends along the width direction W, and the lateral width L31 of the crotch joint portion 33 (length of the crotch joint portion 33 in the width direction W) is longer than the vertical width L32 of the crotch joint portion 33 (length of the crotch joint portion 33 in the longitudinal direction L). With the above configuration, the crotch joint portion 33 extending in the width direction W can effectively suppress movement (wrinkling, etc.) of the absorbent pad 2 (the portion connected to the crotch joint portion 33) in the width direction W. Note that, as in this embodiment, when the crotch joint portion 33 has multiple joint portions separated in the longitudinal direction L (in this embodiment, the first crotch joint portion 331 and the second crotch joint portion 332), the vertical width L32 of the crotch joint portion 33 does not mean the sum of the vertical widths of the multiple joint portions (in this embodiment, the first crotch joint portion 331 and the second crotch joint portion 332), but rather the vertical width of the individual joint portions. 【0085】 The width L31 of the crotch joint 33 is shorter than the width L1 of the ventral joint 31 and the width L2 of the dorsal joint 32. With the above configuration, by making the widths L1 and L2 of the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32, which are located at both ends in the longitudinal direction L, relatively long, the wearable item 1 and the absorbent pad 2 can be firmly joined. On the other hand, by making the width L31 of the crotch joint 33, which is located in the crotch area and has a greater impact on the wearer's comfort, relatively short, the discomfort in the crotch area that the wearer feels when wearing the garment can be reduced. 【0086】 The width L31 of the crotch joint 33 is shorter than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17 of the main body 10. For the reasons mentioned above, even if the width L31 of the crotch joint 33 is extended longer than the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17, the extended portion will not overlap with the absorbent pad 2 and will not be joined to the absorbent pad 2, thus becoming wasted. Furthermore, if the crotch joint 33 is made of a material harder than the fabric of the main body 10, the larger the area of ​​the crotch joint 33, the greater the discomfort the wearer may feel when wearing it. As described above, by setting the width L31 of the crotch joint 33 to satisfy "width L31 < width Lmin", the waste and discomfort described above can be suppressed. 【0087】 The distance from the first end 33a of the crotch joint 33 in the width direction W to the second end 33b on the opposite side of the first end 33a of the crotch joint 33 in the width direction W (in this embodiment, the width L31 of the crotch joint 33) is 1 / 3 or more of the width Lmin of the narrowest part 17 of the main body 10. With the above configuration, by ensuring that the width L31 of the crotch joint 33 is above a certain level, movement (wrinkling, etc.) of the absorbent pad 2 (the part connected to the crotch joint 33) in the width direction W can be effectively suppressed. 【0088】 The crotch joint 33 has a first crotch joint 331 and a second crotch joint 332. The first crotch joint 331 is positioned on the ventral side 101 side of the second crotch joint 332 in the longitudinal direction L. With the above configuration, by making the crotch joint 33 a plurality of joints (first crotch joint 331 and second crotch joint 332), the pinching of the absorbent pad 2 into the wearer's crotch area when worn, and consequently the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core 23a, can be suppressed even more effectively. 【0089】 The first crotch joint 331 is positioned on the ventral side 101 of the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction L (i.e., the center line CL). On the other hand, the second crotch joint 332 is positioned on the dorsal side 102 of the center line CL. When worn, the wearer's urinary opening is usually located on the ventral side of the crotch area 103 relative to the center line CL, and the wearer's defecation opening is located on the dorsal side of the crotch area 103 relative to the center line CL. Therefore, with the above configuration, by providing the first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332 to correspond to the urinary opening and the defecation opening, respectively, the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core 23a can be suppressed at positions close to the urinary opening and the defecation opening. As a result, leakage of excrement can be effectively suppressed. 【0090】 The first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332 are positioned asymmetrically with respect to the center line CL. In other words, when the main body 10 is folded in half along the center line CL, the first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332 are positioned so that they do not completely overlap. More specifically, as shown in Figure 1, in the longitudinal direction L, the distance D3 from the first crotch joint 331 to the center line CL is longer than the distance D4 from the second crotch joint 332 to the center line CL. That is, the first crotch joint 331, which is positioned on the ventral side, is positioned further from the center line CL than the second crotch joint 332, which is positioned on the dorsal side. Also, in the longitudinal direction L, the distance D1 from the ventral joint 31 to the first crotch joint 331 is shorter than the distance D2 from the second crotch joint 332 to the dorsal joint 32. Normally, when worn, the part of the crotch area 103 facing the wearer's urinary opening is further from the center line CL than the part of the crotch area 103 facing the wearer's defecation opening. In other words, the distance from the center line CL to the position corresponding to the urinary opening (a position ventrally to the center line CL) is greater than the distance from the center line CL to the position corresponding to the defecation opening (a position dorsal to the center line CL). Therefore, with the above configuration, the first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332 can be brought closer to the positions corresponding to the urinary and defecation openings. As a result, the occurrence of twisting of the absorbent core 23a can be effectively suppressed at positions closer to the urinary and defecation openings, and leakage of excrement can be suppressed even more effectively. 【0091】 The rigidity of the first part of the main body 10, which consists of the portion overlapping with the crotch joint 33 and the crotch joint 33, is lower than the rigidity of the second part of the main body 10, which consists of the portion overlapping with the ventral joint 31 and the ventral joint 31, and the rigidity of the third part of the main body 10, which consists of the portion overlapping with the dorsal joint 32 and the dorsal joint 32. The above "rigidity" is a value measured, for example, by the cantilever method. The first part of the main body 10 is the part that faces the crotch of the wearer, and therefore it is required to deform flexibly in accordance with the wearer's movements when wearing it. With the above configuration, by making the rigidity of the first part lower than that of the second and third parts, it becomes possible to flexibly deform the portion of the absorbent core 23a that faces the first part together with the worn item 1. 【0092】 In this embodiment, the rigidity of the crotch joint portion 33 itself is lower than that of the ventral joint portion 31 itself and the dorsal joint portion 32 itself. With the above configuration, by adjusting the rigidity of the joint portion 30, a configuration in which the rigidity of the first portion is lower than that of the second portion and the third portion can be easily achieved. 【0093】 Next, the structure of the connecting portion 30 will be described in detail. The structure of the connecting portion 30 (i.e., the means and method of joining the absorbent pad 2 and the wearable item 1) is not limited to a specific structure. Furthermore, the corresponding area 40 of the absorbent pad 2 corresponding to the connecting portion 30 should be provided with a structure corresponding to the structure of the connecting portion 30. Several specific examples of the connecting portion 30 are listed below. 【0094】 As a first example, the connecting portion 30 may be formed by a hook material including a plurality of pins having claw portions at their tips (for example, the hook portion of a so-called hook-and-loop fastener). In this case, the corresponding area 40 may be composed of a member to which the hook material is joined (engaged) (for example, the loop portion of a so-called hook-and-loop fastener). 【0095】 As a second example, the joint 30 may be formed by an adhesive structure. The adhesive structure may consist of, for example, an adhesive surface on which an adhesive material such as a hot melt adhesive (HMA) is provided. 【0096】 As a third example, the coupling portion 30 may be formed by a magnetic member (for example, a magnet). The corresponding region 40 may be provided with a magnetic material or the like that is attracted to the coupling portion 30 by magnetic force. 【0097】 As a fourth example, the connecting portion 30 may be formed by one of the components (convex or concave) of the snap button. The corresponding area 40 may be provided with the other component (convex or convex) of the snap button. 【0098】 As a fifth example, the joint 30 may be formed by a friction-resistant member that engages with the wearable article 1 using frictional resistance. Examples of friction-resistant members include a napped material or a member having a surface with an uneven structure configured to increase the contact area. Specific examples of friction-resistant members include materials formed by Nanofront®. 【0099】 As a sixth example, the joint 30 may be formed from a rubber material. For example, the joint 30 may be formed from ultra-strong double-sided tape, a rubber anti-slip material, or the like. 【0100】 Next, we will describe some configuration examples for realizing the specific bonding structure mentioned above. 【0101】 (Example configuration 1) A specific joint structure may be realized by making the area of ​​the crotch joint 33 smaller than the area of ​​the ventral joint 31 and the area of ​​the dorsal joint 32. Here, the area of ​​the crotch joint 33 refers to the individual areas of the multiple joints when the crotch joint 33 is composed of multiple joints (first crotch joint 331 and second crotch joint 332), as in this embodiment. That is, in this embodiment, a specific joint structure is realized by configuring each of the first crotch joint 331 and the second crotch joint 332 to have a smaller area than each of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. According to the first configuration example, a specific joint structure can be realized relatively easily by creating an area difference between the crotch joint 33 and the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. 【0102】 As a specific implementation method of the first configuration example, in the width direction W, the length of the crotch joint 33 (i.e., the width L31) may be shorter than the length of the ventral joint 31 (i.e., the width L1) and the length of the dorsal joint 32 (i.e., the width L2). According to the above configuration, the structure of the first configuration example can be easily realized. Furthermore, by making the width L31 of the crotch joint 33 located in the crotch area 103 shorter than the widths L1 and L2 of the joints at both ends in the longitudinal direction L (ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32), discomfort experienced by the wearer due to the crotch joint 33 can be suppressed when the garment is worn. 【0103】 (Second configuration example) If the above first example is adopted as the structure of the joint 30, a specific joint structure may be realized by making the joint structure of the crotch joint 33 different from the joint structure of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32 in terms of at least one of the number, height, material, and shape of the pins of the crotch joint 33. Several examples of how to make the joint structure different between the crotch joint 33 and the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32 are shown below. For example, the height of the pins of the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32 may be higher than the height of the pins of the crotch joint 33. Also, the number of pins of the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32 may be greater than the number of pins of the crotch joint 33. Furthermore, the joint strength of the crotch joint 33 may be higher than that of the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32 by the above combination of the number, height, material, and shape of the pins. According to the above configuration, a specific joint structure can be easily realized by making the joint structure of each joint 30 (ventral joint 31, dorsal joint 32, and crotch joint 33) composed of hook material different. 【0104】 (Example of configuration 3) If the second example described above is adopted as the structure of the joint 30, a specific joint structure may be realized, for example, by differentiating the coating weight, coating area, coating pattern, etc. of the adhesive material between the crotch joint 33 and the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32. 【0105】 (Example of configuration 4) If the third example described above is adopted as the structure of the joint 30, a specific joint structure may be realized, for example, by making the magnetic force, area, etc. of the magnetic member different between the crotch joint 33 and the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32. 【0106】 (Example of configuration 5) If the fourth example described above is adopted as the structure of the joint 30, a specific joint structure may be realized, for example, by differentiating the number and area of ​​buttons placed between the crotch joint 33 and the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32. 【0107】 (Example 6) A specific joint structure may be realized by making the joining method of the crotch joint 33 (for example, the method corresponding to each of the first to sixth examples described above) different from the joining method of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. With the above configuration, a specific joint structure can be easily realized by making the joining methods of the crotch joint 33 different from those of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32. 【0108】 As a specific example of the sixth configuration example, the following configuration example can be given. That is, a specific joint structure may be realized by adopting the structure of the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32, and adopting the structure of the crotch joint 33, as described in the first example above. With the above configuration, a suitable difference in joint strength can be made between the ventral joint 31 and the dorsal joint 32 and the crotch joint 33 with a relatively simple structure. 【0109】 [Second Embodiment] The configuration of the wearable article 1A according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7 is a plan view of the wearable article 1A as seen from the skin side. Figure 8 is a schematic diagram showing the cross-sectional structure of the wearable article 1A along the line VIII-VIII in Figure 7. 【0110】 Wearable item 1A differs from wearable item 1 in that it is provided with pocket portions 18 on both the ventral portion 101 and the dorsal portion 102, but otherwise its configuration is the same as that of wearable item 1. Note that the pocket portions 18 may be provided on only one of the ventral portion 101 or the dorsal portion 102. 【0111】 Each pocket portion 18 accommodates the end portion 2a of the absorbent pad 2 in the longitudinal direction L, and is configured to cover the outer surface of the end portion 2a (i.e., the surface 21a of the surface sheet 21) when the end portion 2a is accommodated. In this embodiment, as an example, the pocket portion 18 has a rectangular shape when viewed from the thickness direction T (see Figure 8). On the outer portion of the edge of the pocket portion 18 as viewed from the thickness direction T, in the width direction W and in the longitudinal direction L, a fixing portion 18a (dot hatching portion in Figure 7) is formed, which is fixed to the inner surface 10a of the main body portion 10 by embroidery or the like. On the other hand, the inner portion of the edge of the pocket portion 18 as viewed from the thickness direction T in the longitudinal direction L is not fixed to the inner surface 10a of the main body portion 10, and forms an opening into which the absorbent pad 2 can be inserted. 【0112】 With the wearable article 1A having the pocket portion 18 as described above, the absorbent pad 2 can be attached to the wearable article 1 more stably, and the positioning of the absorbent pad 2 on the wearable article 1 can be easily performed. 【0113】 As shown in Figure 7, the ventral pocket portion 18 covers at least a part of the ventral connecting portion 31 when viewed from the thickness direction T, which is the direction in which the main body portion 10 and the connecting portion 30 overlap. In this embodiment, the ventral pocket portion 18 covers the entire ventral connecting portion 31. In other words, in the thickness direction T, the ventral pocket portion 18 overlaps with the entire ventral connecting portion 31. Similarly, the dorsal pocket portion 18 covers at least a part of the dorsal connecting portion 32 when viewed from the thickness direction T. In this embodiment, the dorsal pocket portion 18 covers the entire dorsal connecting portion 32. In other words, in the thickness direction T, the dorsal pocket portion 18 overlaps with the entire dorsal connecting portion 32. With the above configuration, when the absorbent pad 2 is not attached, it is possible to suppress the ventral joint 31 and dorsal joint 32, which have relatively strong bonding forces (i.e., stronger bonding forces than the crotch joint 33), from unintentionally bonding (sticking) to members other than the absorbent pad 2 or to parts of the wearable item 1 itself. The above effect can also be obtained by a structure in which the pocket portion 18 covers at least a part of the joint portion 30 (ventral joint portion 31 or dorsal joint portion 32), but an even greater effect can be obtained by a structure in which the pocket portion 18 covers the entire joint portion 30 (ventral joint portion 31 or dorsal joint portion 32). 【0114】 Here, we consider the case where the ventral connector 31 and the dorsal connector 32 each have a structure having multiple pins with claws at their tips (the structure of the first example above). In this case, the fabric constituting the inner surface 18b (first surface) of the pocket portion 18 facing the surface 21a of the end 2a of the absorbent pad 2 when it is in storage may be made of fibers thicker than the protruding width of the claws. In this case, the claws become less likely to engage with the inner surface 18b. Therefore, with the above configuration, when the absorbent pad 2 is not attached to the wearable article 1 (i.e., when the inner surface 18b is directly facing the ventral connector 31 or the dorsal connector 32), it is possible to prevent the inner surface 18b from becoming fixed to the ventral connector 31 or the dorsal connector 32. As a result, when attempting to insert the absorbent pad 2 into the pocket portion 18, the pocket portion 18 becomes easier to open, thereby improving the convenience of the wearer when attempting to attach the absorbent pad 2 to the wearable article 1. 【0115】 The fabric constituting the inner surface 18b of the pocket portion 18 may be a film. In this case as well, it is possible to prevent the inner surface 18b from becoming fixed to the ventral joint portion 31 or the dorsal joint portion 32, and the same effect as described above can be obtained. 【0116】 Furthermore, the inner surface 18b of the pocket portion 18 may be hydrophobic. For example, the inner surface 18b may be waterproofed. With the above configuration, if the wearer's excrement absorbed by the absorbent pad 2 leaks through the end 2a of the absorbent pad 2 to the pocket portion 18, it is possible to prevent the excrement from seeping out onto the outer surface 18c of the pocket portion 18. 【0117】 On the other hand, the outer surface 18c (second surface) of the pocket portion 18 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin when worn may be hydrophilic. For example, the outer surface 18c may be made of a fabric that retains moisture in the gaps between threads and fabric to exhibit a hydrophilic function (for example, a fabric made of natural fibers such as cotton or constituent fibers such as polyester). With the above configuration, by making the outer surface 18c that comes into contact with the wearer's skin hydrophilic, sweat absorption can be increased and the wearing comfort of the garment 1 can be improved. 【0118】 [Modified version of the second embodiment] A modified example of the second embodiment will be described with reference to Figure 9. This modified example differs from the second embodiment in that it has a pocket portion 18A instead of the pocket portion 18, and a ventral joint portion 131 instead of the ventral joint portion 31, but the other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment. Figure 9(A) is a plan view of the portion where the pocket portion 18A is located, and Figure 9(B) is a schematic diagram showing the cross-sectional structure along line BB in (A). In this modified example, the description will focus on the portion composed of the ventral pocket portion 18A and the ventral joint portion 31, but the portion composed of the dorsal pocket portion 18A and the dorsal joint portion 32 may be configured similarly. 【0119】 In this modified example, the multiple connecting portions 30 further include pocket connecting portions 34 provided on the inner surface 18b (first surface) of the pocket portion 18A. The pocket connecting portion 34 is also connected to the surface 21a (see Figure 8) of the end portion 2a of the absorbent pad 2. That is, the pocket connecting portion 34 has a surface that can be connected to the surface 21a of the absorbent pad 2. With the above configuration, the absorbent pad 2 can be connected to the wearable item 1A and the absorbent pad 2 by sandwiching the absorbent pad 2 between the pocket connecting portion 34 and the ventral connecting portion 131. This increases the bonding strength between the wearable item 1 and the absorbent pad 2. 【0120】 Furthermore, in this modified example, the pocket joint portion 34 is arranged so as not to overlap with the ventral joint portion 131 in the thickness direction T. As an example, as shown in Figure 9(A), the pocket joint portion 34 has multiple (two in this modified example) parts 34a, 34b arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the width direction W. The ventral joint portion 131 also has multiple (three in this modified example) parts 131a, 131b, 131c arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the width direction W. The parts 34a, 34b and parts 131a, 131b, 131c are arranged alternately along the width direction W. That is, the parts 34a, 34b and parts 131a, 131b, 131c are arranged so as not to overlap each other in the thickness direction T. If the thickness of the wearable article 1A becomes large, the rigidity will increase in the thicker parts, and flexibility will be impaired. On the other hand, with the above configuration, the pocket connecting portion 34 and the ventral connecting portion 131 can firmly connect the wearable item 1A and the absorbent pad 2. Furthermore, by arranging the pocket connecting portion 34 and the ventral connecting portion 131 so as not to overlap vertically, the increase in the thickness of the wearable item 1A caused by the overlapping of the connecting portions 30 can be suppressed, and the flexibility of the wearable item 1A can be ensured. 【0121】 [Differentiation] While embodiments of this disclosure have been described above, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above. Various materials and shapes can be used for the materials and shapes of each component, not limited to those described above. Furthermore, some of the components included in the embodiments described above may be modified or omitted, or other components may be added. 【0122】 The number, shape, and arrangement of the multiple connecting parts 30 are not limited to the above embodiment. For example, each connecting part 30 may be composed of multiple parts separated in the width direction W. Also, in the above embodiment, the crotch connecting part 33 was composed of two connecting parts 30 (a first crotch connecting part 331 and a second crotch connecting part 332), but it may be composed of a single connecting part 30 arranged along the center line CL, for example. Also, in the above embodiment, the length in the longitudinal direction L of each connecting part 30 was the same, but the length in the longitudinal direction L of the connecting parts 30 may differ between the connecting parts 30. 【0123】 In the above embodiment, the garment 1 was a tape-type cloth underwear, but the garment 1 may also be a pant-type cloth underwear. 【0124】 In the above embodiment, an example was given in which a corresponding area 40 corresponding to each bonding portion 30 is provided on the surface 22a of the back sheet 22 of the absorbent pad 2. However, if the surface 22a is made of a material that can be bonded to each bonding portion 30, the corresponding area 40 may be omitted. 【0125】 Furthermore, in order to obtain the effects of the specific bonding structure of the multiple bonding portions 30, the ventral bonding portion 31, the crotch bonding portion 33, and the dorsal bonding portion 32 may be provided continuously along the longitudinal direction L (i.e., without spacing). In other words, in order to obtain the above effects, it is not essential that the ventral bonding portion 31, the crotch bonding portion 33, and the dorsal bonding portion 32 are arranged spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction L.
