Disposable wear article

The present invention relates to disposable wear articles that absorb and retain excrement.

It has a front waist area and a rear waist area in the vertical direction and an inseam area located between those waist areas, and is located on the skin contact side and the skin non-contact side. It is composed of an impermeable back sheet and a liquid-absorbent core that extends between the front and rear waist circumferences between the front and back sheets, and is formed of an upper core and a lower core in which the cores overlap in the thickness direction. There are disposable diapers (see Patent Document 1).

The upper core is formed of a front core extending from the front waist circumference area to the inseam region and a rear core extending from the inseam region to the rear waist circumference region. The facing ends of the front and rear cores located in the inseam region are separated by a predetermined dimension in the vertical direction. The lower core coated on the surface sheet is exposed between the opposite ends of the front and rear cores. The surface sheet covering the upper surface of the upper layer core is bent toward the lower layer core at the opposite ends of the front and rear cores, and is folded between the upper layer core and the lower layer core. In this diaper, a step is formed between the front-rear core and the lower core in the inseam region, and a recess is formed which is recessed in the thickness direction of the diaper from the opposite end of the front-rear core and the lower core.<patcit num="1"><text>Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 8-196565</text></patcit>

<p> In the diaper disclosed in Patent Document 1, the lower surface of the front and rear cores and the upper surface of the lower core easily come into contact with each other, and it is difficult to form a space between the front core and the lower core. Since it is difficult to form a space between the two, even if the excrement enters the recess formed in the inseam area, the excrement can be placed between the front core and the lower core or between the rear core and the lower core. Cannot be accommodated. In this diaper, even if a small space is formed between the anterior-posterior core and the lower core, a large amount of excrement cannot be accommodated in the space, and the excrement covers the upper surface of the anterior-posterior core and the lower core. It diffuses and may mix urine and stool in the excrement and stain the wearer's skin. In addition, since the upper core and the lower core overlap each other in the front and rear waist circumference area of this diaper, the thickness dimension of the core in the front and rear waist circumference area increases more than necessary, and the core feels uncomfortable with the diaper worn in a bulky manner.

Article 20A is curved so that the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is convex upward toward the base sheet 21, and the inseam area 28 to the rear waist circumference area is between the base sheet 21 and the free rear area 24. Since the pocket 69 that opens toward 29 is formed, even if the stool excreted in the inseam area 28 and the rear waist circumference area 29 flows toward the front waist circumference area 27, the stool is stored in the pocket 69. be able to. In Article 20A, urine is absorbed and held in the second panel 24, stool is absorbed and held in the first panel 23, and is stored in the pocket 69, so that urine and stool can be separated, and urine and stool can be separated. It is possible to prevent the wearer's skin from becoming dirty due to the mixture of urine.

In the article 20A, the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is fixed to the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22, and the free rear region 56 is lifted above the base sheet 21 by the free portion 35. , The shape of the free rear region 56 that is convex upward of the seat 21 is held by the free portion 35, and the leg portion 65 extending upward of the seat 21 does not inadvertently fall down, and the free portion 35 is used for the pocket. It can retain 69 forms. Article 20A has pocket 69 that is difficult to close its mouth, and pocket 69 can reliably accommodate stool.

In article 20A, a part of the central part 66 of the free posterior region 56 extends upward from the top part 38 of the free part 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22, and the central part 66 extends to the wearer's genitals and anus while wearing article 20A. The central part 66 forms a barrier that separates the wearer's genitals and anus, so that urine and stool can be reliably separated, and the wearer due to the mixture of urine and stool. You can surely prevent the dirt on your skin.

In the article 20A, since the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 extends upward from the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, the upper surface of the second panel 24 (liquid permeable sheet). Even if the urine diffusing (upper surface of 52) flows toward the bilateral region 57, the urine flow is blocked by the apical portion 38, and lateral leakage of urine from the bilateral region 57 can be prevented. In the article 20A, since the central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 located above the apex portion 38 comes into contact with the wearer's skin before the apex portion 38, the apex portion 38 should lie down laterally of the article 20A. No, the apex 38 does not lose its function as a barrier to urine. In article 20A, the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 forms a barrier against urine, so that the urine that diffuses the upper surface of the first panel 23 (the upper surface of the liquid-permeable sheet 40) is directed toward both side portions 32 of the base sheet 21. Even if it flows, the flow of urine is blocked by the free portion 35, and lateral leakage of urine from both side portions 32 can be prevented.

In the article 20A, since the inner end portion 70 of the first panel 23 is located below the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 and extends into the pocket 69, urine penetrates the second panel 24 and pockets 69. Even if it leaks to the pocket 69, urine and stool can be absorbed and held by the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the urine and stool can be prevented from being mixed in the pocket 69. In the article 20A, the first and second panels 23,24 do not overlap in the front-rear waist circumference 27,29, and the panels 23, 24 do not become bulky, so that there is no discomfort with the worn article 20A.

5 and 6 are a perspective view of the worn article 20B shown as another example, and a partially broken plan view of the article 20B of FIG. 5 shown from the side of the first and second panels 23 and 24, and FIGS. Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 7-7 in FIG. 5 and a cross-sectional view taken along the line 8-8 in FIG. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the horizontal direction is indicated by an arrow L, the vertical direction is indicated by an arrow M, and the thickness direction is indicated by an arrow N (only in FIG. 5). FIG. 6 shows the article 20B in a state of being unfolded in the vertical and horizontal directions against the contraction force of the elastic members 33, 37, 77.

Article 20B includes an impermeable base sheet 21, a pair of impermeable and leak-proof sheets 22 arranged inside the sheet 21 and extending in the vertical direction, and body fluids arranged inside the sheet 21 and arranged in the vertical direction. It is identical to article 20A in FIG. 1 in that it is composed of absorbent first and second panels 23, 24. This article 20B differs from that of FIG. 1 in that a spacer 76 extending laterally is arranged in the pocket 69, a bending guide 81 is formed in the second panel 24, and other configurations. Is the same as the article 20A in FIG. 1, so the same reference numerals as those in the article 20A in FIG. 1 are added, and the description of other configurations is omitted.

In the pocket 69, a spacer 76 having elastic elasticity in the lateral direction is arranged so as to be retractable. The spacer 76 is formed of a water-permeable sheet 78 to which a plurality of elastic elastic members 77 extending in the lateral direction are contractably attached so as to be separated by a predetermined dimension in the vertical direction. The elastic member 77 is fixed to the sheet 78 in a state of being stretched to a predetermined magnification in the lateral direction. The spacer 76 has a fixed end portion 79 fixed near the lower end of the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56, and a free intermediate portion 80 extending between the fixed end portions 79. The legs 65 of the free rear region 56 are pulled inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 by the contraction force of the spacer 76. In the first panel 23, both side areas 45 are pulled inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 by the contraction force of the spacer 76, and the fixed front area 43 is curved so as to be convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20B together with the base sheet 21. are doing.

The fixed end portions 79 of the spacer 76 need be fixed to at least one of the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 and the side region 57. Further, the fixed both ends 79 may be interposed between the side areas 45 of the first panel 23 and the side areas 57 of the second panel 24, and may be fixed to the side areas 45, 57 of the panels 23, 24. .. A stretchable water-permeable sheet without an elastic member can also be used for the spacer 76. A stretchable and hydrophilic fiber non-woven fabric can be used for the stretchable water-permeable sheet. Further, only a non-stretchable water permeable sheet can be used for the spacer 76. A hydrophilic fiber non-woven fabric can be used for the non-stretchable water permeable sheet. When a non-stretchable permeable sheet is used for the spacer 76, the lateral dimension of the spacer 76 should be smaller than the lateral dimension between the side edges 61 of the core 54 forming the second panel 24. As a result, the legs 65 of the free rear region 56 are pulled inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21.

A pair of bending guides 81 extending in the vertical direction are formed between the legs 65 and the central portion 66 in the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 with a predetermined dimension in the horizontal direction. The bent guide portion 81 is fixed by drawing an arc in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 so that the distance between the bent guide portions 81 gradually increases from the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56 toward the side of the fixed front region 55. It reaches both sides 57 on the side of the front 55. The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide 81.

The density, basis weight, and thickness of the core 54 in the bent guide portion 81 are smaller than those of the core 54 excluding the guide portion 81. Therefore, the rigidity of the second panel 24 in the bent guide portion 81 is lower than that of the second panel 24 excluding the guide portion 81. In the bent guide portion 81, at least the density and basis weight of the core 54 are made smaller than those of the core 54 excluding the guide portion 81, so that the second panel in the guide portion 81 The rigidity of 24 can be made lower than that of the second panel 24 excluding the guide portion 81. The bending guide portion 81 may be formed of only the liquid permeable sheets 52 and 53 excluding the core 54. The folding guide portion 81 may vertically traverse the free rear region 56 without reaching the both side regions 57 from the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56.

The legs 65 of the free rear region 56 extend upward from the base sheet 21 and form an arc so as to be convex upward of the base sheet 21. The central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 is arced so as to be convex upward of the leg portion 65. A part of the leg portion 65 is fixed to a central portion 39 located on the side of the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 in the vicinity of the bending guide portion 81. At the legs 65, the outer surface of the liquid permeable sheet 52 is fixed to the leak-proof sheet 22 via an adhesive 67.

The central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 has a maximum height dimension N1 from the lower end 68 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 to the maximum height dimension N1 from the lower end 68 to the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22. It is larger than N2, and a part of it (the central part in the lateral direction of the central part 66) extends upward from the top part 38 of the free part 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 and is located above the top part 38 (Fig. 8). reference). The top 38 extends above the legs 65.

The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide portion 81, the leg portion 65 is pulled inward in the lateral direction by the spacer 76, and the free portion of the leak-proof sheet 22 is further provided. It is lifted above the base sheet 21 by 35. A pocket 69 is formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, which opens from the inseam region 28 toward the rear waist circumference region 29. The pocket 69 is formed in the approximately front half of the inseam area 28. Below the free rear region 56, the inner end portion 70 of the fixed front region 43 of the first panel 23 is located. The inner end portion 70 extends into the pocket 69.

Since the procedure for wearing the article 20B is the same as that in FIG. 1, the description thereof will be omitted. In Article 20B, the urine excreted in the front waist area 27 and the front half of the inseam area 28 during its wearing is absorbed and held by the core 54 of the second panel 24, and the rear half of the inseam area 28 and the rear waist area. The stool excreted in 29 is absorbed and held in the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the stool that has flowed toward the front waist circumference 27 is stored in the pocket 69.

Article 20B has a pocket 69 formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24, which opens from the inseam area 28 toward the rear waist circumference area 29, so that the inseam area 28 and the rear body are formed. Even if the stool excreted in the circumference area 29 flows toward the front waist circumference area 27, the stool can be stored in the pocket 69. In article 20B, urine is absorbed and held in the second panel 24, stool is absorbed and held in the first panel 23, and is stored in the pocket 69, so that urine and stool can be separated, and urine and stool can be separated. It is possible to prevent the wearer's skin from becoming dirty due to the mixture of urine. The article 20B is arced so that the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23 is convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20B together with the base sheet 21, so that the stool in the pocket 69 is compared with the article 20A in FIG. It has a large storage volume and can store a large amount of excreted stool in the pocket 69.

In the article 20B, since the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is lifted above the base sheet 21 by the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22, the form of the free rear area 56 that is convex upward of the sheet 21 is formed. The leg 65, which is held by the free portion 35 and extends upward of the seat 21, does not inadvertently fall down, and the free portion 35 can be used to hold the shape of the pocket 69. Article 20B has pocket 69 that is difficult to close its mouth, and pocket 69 can reliably accommodate stool.

In the article 20B, a spacer 76 having elastic elasticity in the lateral direction is arranged so as to be retractable in the pocket 69, and the leg portions 65 of the free rear region 56 are laterally inward of the base sheet 21 due to the contraction force of the spacer 76. Since it is attracted to, the shape of the free rear portion 56 which is convex upward of the seat 21 is held by the spacer 76, and the leg portion 65 extending upward of the seat 21 does not inadvertently fall down, and the spacer 76 contracts. The shape of the pocket 69 can be reliably held by using the force. Even if the wearer's body pressure is applied to the article 20B in the thickness direction and the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23 and the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 are crushed, the spacer 76 is released when the body pressure is released. Because the fixed front area 43 becomes convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20B and the free rear area 56 becomes convex upward in the base sheet 21 due to the elastic force of the free rear area 56, a pocket is formed again between the sheet 21 and the free rear area 56. 69 is formed.

In the article 20B, the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is fixed to the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 in the vicinity of the bending guide portion 81, and the free portion 35 uses the free rear region 56 of the base sheet 21 as the base sheet 21. Since the free rear area 56 is bent at the bending guide portion 81 as it is lifted upward, the free rear area 56 is surely bent at the guide portion 81. In the article 20B, the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide portion 81, so that the free rear region 56 is located between the legs 65 and the guide portion 81 located on both sides of the guide portion 81. Clearly partitioned from the central portion 66, the legs 65 easily stand above the base seat 21, the free rear region 56 easily protrudes above the seat 21, and between the seat 21 and the free rear region 56. The pocket 69 can be reliably formed.

In article 20B, a part of the central part 66 of the free posterior region 56 extends upward from the top part 38 of the free part 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22, and the central part 66 extends to the wearer's genitals and anus while wearing article 20B. The central part 66 forms a barrier that separates the wearer's genitals and anus, so that urine and stool can be reliably separated, and the wearer due to the mixture of urine and stool. You can surely prevent the dirt on your skin.

In the article 20B, since the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 extends upward from the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, the upper surface of the second panel 24 (liquid permeable sheet). Even if the urine diffusing (upper surface of 52) flows toward the bilateral region 57, the urine flow is blocked by the apical portion 38, and lateral leakage of urine from the bilateral region 57 can be prevented. In the article 20B, since the central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 located above the apex portion 38 comes into contact with the wearer's skin before the apex portion 38, the apex portion 38 should lie down laterally of the article 20B. No, the apex 38 does not lose its function as a barrier to urine. In article 20B, the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 forms a barrier against urine, so that urine diffusing the upper surface of the first panel 23 (the upper surface of the liquid permeable sheet 40) is directed toward both side portions 32 of the base sheet 21. Even if it flows, the flow of urine is blocked by the free portion 35, and lateral leakage of urine from both side portions 32 can be prevented.

In the article 20B, since the inner end portion 70 of the first panel 23 is located below the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 and extends into the pocket 69, urine penetrates the second panel 24 and pockets 69. Even if it leaks to the pocket 69, urine and stool can be absorbed and held by the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the urine and stool can be prevented from being mixed in the pocket 69. In the article 20B, the first and second panels 23 and 24 do not overlap in the front and rear waist circumference 27,29, and the panels 23 and 24 do not become bulky, so that there is no discomfort with the worn article 20B.

In article 20B, the contracted lateral dimension of the spacer 76 is in the range of 20-93% of the lateral dimension L1 between the side edges 61 of the core 54 forming the second panel 24. The lateral dimension of the spacer 76 when contracted is preferably in the range of 50 to 80% with respect to the lateral dimension L1.

In Article 20B, the lateral elongation stress of the spacer 76 including the elastic member 77 at 100 to 250% elongation is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 N. If the elongation stress of the spacer 76 is less than 0.5 N, the contraction force of the spacer 76 cannot sufficiently pull the leg 65 of the free rear region 56 inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21, and the extension stress of the spacer 76 is slightly in the thickness direction of the article 20B. The free rear region 56 may be easily crushed and the pocket 69 may close its mouth just by applying a large amount of body pressure. When the elongation stress of the spacer 76 exceeds 1.5 N, the inseam area 28 contracts inward in the lateral direction due to the contraction force of the spacer 76, and the base sheet 21 and the first panel 23 are fixed in the front area 43 and the second panel 24. A large number of irregular gathers were formed in the free posterior region 56 of the body, which not only failed to retain the morphology of the pocket 69, but also reduced the fluid absorption function of the first and second panels 23 and 24 in the inseam region 28. , Inseam area 28 cannot absorb urine and stool sufficiently. Since the extension stress of the spacer 76 is in the above range, the article 20B can reliably hold the shape of the pocket 69, and the body fluid absorption functions of the first and second panels 23 and 24 in the inseam region 28 are reduced. There is no. The elongation stress of the spacer 76 was measured by the following method. (1) The spacer 76 (including the elastic member 77) was separated from the article 20B, and the spacer 76 was cut to prepare a sample for elongation stress measurement having a vertical dimension of 30 mm and a horizontal dimension of 100 mm. A tensile tester manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation was used for the tensile stress measurement. (2) Both ends of the sample in the lateral direction shrunk due to the contraction of the elastic member 77 are sandwiched between the chucks of the tensile tester (the sample pinching size by the chuck: about 35 mm, the inter-chuck size: The sample was pulled laterally at a speed of about 30 mm) and 100 mm / min, the sample was stretched to 260%, and then the stretched state was released. Again, pull the sample laterally at a speed of 100 mm / min through the tester, stretch the sample in the range of 100-250%, measure the force applied to the tester at that time, and measure the measured value with the spacer 76. The lateral elongation stress of. The lateral elongation stress of the measured sample at 100 to 250% elongation was 0.5 to 1.5 N. Here, extending the sample to 200% means, for example, when the horizontal dimension of the sample is 30 mm, it is extended to 60 mm, which is a value obtained by multiplying 30 mm by 2.0.

In Article 20B, the lateral rigidity value of the free rear region 56 (including the core 54) of the second panel 24 including the bending guide 81 is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 mN, and the bending guide 81 is excluded. The rigidity value of the free rear region 56 (including the core 54) of the 2 panel 24 is in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 mN. When the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 including the folding guide portion 81 exceeds 1.5 mN, the free rear region 56 is difficult to bend at the bending guide portion 81, and the leg portion 65 is difficult to stand above the base sheet 21. When the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 excluding the folding guide portion 81 is less than 1.0 mN, the free rear region 56 contracts inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 due to the contraction force of the spacer 76, and the shape of the pocket 69 is changed. Can't hold. When the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 excluding the folding guide 81 exceeds 2.0 mN, the flexibility of the second panel 24 decreases, and the second panel 24 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin causes an unpleasant stimulus to the wearer. May be given. In addition, those rigidity values of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 are the Gale method (JIS L). Measured according to 1096-01-8.20.1). The measuring method is as follows. (1) The second panel 24 was separated from the article 20B, and the second panel 24 was cut to prepare a sample for measuring the rigidity value having a vertical dimension of 25 mm and a horizontal dimension of 30 mm. As samples, a first sample (including the core 54) including the bending guide 81 and a second sample (including the core 54) excluding the bending guide 81 were prepared. A Gale flexibility tester was used to measure the flexural rigidity. (2) Hold one end of the first sample in the vertical direction between the chucks of the testing machine, and hang the other end of the first sample in the vertical direction on the pendulum of the testing machine to assist so that the scale of the testing machine is between 3 and 6. I attached the weight. The tester was switched on, the scale at the moment when the rotating rod of the pendulum was separated from the first sample was read, and the first rigidity value was measured. Next, the other end in the vertical direction of the first sample is sandwiched between the chucks of the testing machine, and the one end in the vertical direction of the first sample is hung on the pendulum of the testing machine to assist the scale of the testing machine to be between 3 and 6. I attached the weight. Next, the tester was switched on, the scale at the moment when the rotating rod of the pendulum was separated from the first sample was read, and the second rigidity value was measured. The average of the measured first and second rigidity values was taken as the bending rigidity value of the first sample, and the bending rigidity value of the first sample was taken as the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 including the bending guide portion 81. The flexural rigidity value of the first sample is 0.5 to 1. It was 5 mN. (3) Hold one end of the second sample in the vertical direction between the chucks of the testing machine, and hang the other end of the second sample in the vertical direction on the pendulum of the testing machine to assist so that the scale of the testing machine is between 3 and 6. I attached the weight. The tester was switched on, the scale at the moment when the rotating rod of the pendulum was separated from the second sample was read, and the third rigidity value was measured. Next, the other end in the vertical direction of the second sample is sandwiched between the chucks of the testing machine, and the one end in the vertical direction of the second sample is hung on the pendulum of the testing machine to assist the scale of the testing machine to be between 3 and 6. I attached the weight. Next, the tester was switched on, the scale at the moment when the rotating rod of the pendulum was separated from the second sample was read, and the fourth rigidity value was measured. The average of the measured third and fourth rigidity values was taken as the bending rigidity value of the second sample, and the bending rigidity value of the second sample was taken as the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 excluding the bending guide portion 81. The flexural rigidity value of the second sample was 1.0 to 2.0 mN.

9 and 10 are a perspective view of the worn article 20C shown as another example, and a partially fractured plan view of the article 20C of FIG. 9 shown from the side of the first and second panels 23 and 24, and FIGS. Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 11-11 in FIG. 9 and a cross-sectional view taken along the line 12-12 in FIG. In FIGS. 9 and 10, the horizontal direction is indicated by an arrow L, the vertical direction is indicated by an arrow M, and the thickness direction is indicated by an arrow N (only in FIG. 9). FIG. 10 shows the article 20C in a state of being unfolded in the vertical and horizontal directions against the contraction force of the elastic members 33, 37, 77.

Article 20C is a liquid-impermeable base sheet 21, a pair of impermeable and leak-proof sheets 22 arranged inside the sheet 21 and extending in the vertical direction, and body fluids arranged inside the sheet 21 and arranged in the vertical direction. It is identical to article 20A in FIG. 1 in that it is composed of absorbent first and second panels 23, 24. This article 20C differs from that of FIG. 1 in that a spacer 76 extending laterally is arranged in the pocket 69, and bending guides 81 and 82 are formed in the first and second panels. At the inner end portion 64 of the rear region 56, the leg portion 65 and the central portion 66 are bent upward toward the second panel 23, and the other configurations are the same as those of the article 20A in FIG. The same symbols as those of the article 20A in FIG. 1 are attached, and the description of other configurations is omitted.

In the pocket 69, a spacer 76 having elastic elasticity in the lateral direction is arranged so as to be retractable. The spacer 76 is formed of a water-permeable sheet 78 to which a plurality of elastic elastic members 77 extending in the lateral direction are contractably attached so as to be separated by a predetermined dimension in the vertical direction. The elastic member 77 is fixed to the sheet 78 in a state of being stretched to a predetermined magnification in the lateral direction. The spacer 76 has a fixed end portion 79 fixed near the lower end of the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56, and a free intermediate portion 80 extending between the fixed end portions 79. The legs 65 of the free rear region 56 are pulled inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 by the contraction force of the spacer 76.

In the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23, a pair of bending guide portions 82 extending in the vertical direction separated by a predetermined dimension in the horizontal direction are formed. The folding guides 82 are fixed by drawing an arc in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 so that the distance from each other gradually increases from the inner end portion 70 of the fixed front region 43 toward the side of the fixed rear region 44. On the side of the rear region 44, it reaches the bilateral region 45. In the first panel 23, both side areas 45 are pulled laterally inward of the base sheet 21 by the contraction force of the spacer 76, the fixed front area 43 is bent via the bending guide 82, and the fixed front area 43 is the seat 21. At the same time, an arc is drawn so as to be convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20C.

A pair of bending guides 81 extending in the vertical direction are formed between the legs 65 and the central portion 66 in the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 with a predetermined dimension in the horizontal direction. The bent guide portion 81 is fixed by drawing an arc in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 so that the distance between the bent guide portions 81 gradually increases from the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56 toward the side of the fixed front region 55. It reaches both sides 57 on the side of the front 55. The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide 81.

The density, basis weight, and thickness of the cores 42, 54 in the bent guides 81, 82 are smaller than those of the cores 42, 54 excluding the guides 81, 82. Therefore, the rigidity of the first and second panels 23,24 in those bent guides 81,82 is lower than that of the first and second panels 23,24 excluding the guides 81,82. In those bent guides 81,82, at least the density and basis weight of the cores 42,54 should be smaller than those of the cores 42,54 excluding the guides 81,82. Therefore, the rigidity of the first and second panels 23,24 in the guide portions 81, 82 can be made lower than that of the first and second panels 23, 24 excluding the guide portions 81, 82.

The bending guide portion 82 may be formed only of the liquid permeable sheet 40 and the impermeable sheet 41 excluding the core 42. The folding guide portion 81 may be formed only of the liquid permeable sheets 52 and 53 excluding the core 54. The folding guide 82 may vertically traverse the first panel 23 without reaching both sides 45. The folding guide portion 81 may vertically traverse the free rear region 56 without reaching the bilateral regions 57.

The legs 65 of the free rear region 56 extend upward from the base sheet 21 and form an arc so as to be convex upward of the base sheet 21. The central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 is arced so as to be convex upward of the leg portion 65. The leg portion 65 and the central portion 66 are bent upward in the second panel 24 at the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56. A part of the bent leg portion 65 is fixed to a central portion 39 located on the side of the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 in the vicinity of the bent guide portion 81. At the legs 65, the outer surface of the liquid permeable sheet 52 is fixed to the leak-proof sheet 22 via an adhesive 67.

The central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 has a maximum height dimension N1 from the lower end 68 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 to the maximum height dimension N1 from the lower end 68 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 to the top portion 39. Larger than N2. The bent central portion 66 extends upward from the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 and is located above the top portion 38. The top 38 extends above the legs 65.

The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide portion 81, the leg portion 65 is pulled inward in the lateral direction by the spacer 76, and the free portion of the leak-proof sheet 22 is further provided. It is lifted above the seat 21 by 35. A pocket 69 is formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, which opens from the inseam region 28 toward the rear waist circumference region 29. The pocket 69 is formed in the approximately front half of the inseam area 28. The inner end portion 70 of the first panel 23 is located below the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 and extends into the pocket 69, and together with the base sheet 21, protrudes downward in the thickness direction of the article 20C to form the pocket 69. Is forming.

Since the procedure for wearing the article 20C is the same as that in FIG. 1, the description thereof will be omitted. In Article 20C, the urine excreted in the front waist area 27 and the front half of the inseam area 28 during its wearing is absorbed and held by the core 54 of the second panel 24, and the rear half of the inseam area 28 and the rear waist area. The stool excreted in 29 is absorbed and held in the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the stool that has flowed toward the front waist circumference 27 is stored in the pocket 69.

Article 20C has a pocket 69 formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24, which opens from the inseam area 28 toward the rear waist circumference area 29, so that the inseam area 28 and the rear body are formed. Even if the stool excreted in the circumference area 29 flows toward the front waist circumference area 27, the stool can be stored in the pocket 69. In Article 20C, urine is absorbed and held in the second panel 24, stool is absorbed and held in the first panel 23, and is stored in the pocket 69, so that urine and stool can be separated, and urine and stool can be separated. It is possible to prevent the wearer's skin from becoming dirty due to the mixture of urine. The article 20C is arced so that the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23 is convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20C together with the base sheet 21, so that the stool in the pocket 69 is compared with the article 20A in FIG. It has a large storage volume and can store a large amount of excreted stool in the pocket 69.

In the article 20C, since the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is lifted above the base sheet 21 by the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 21, the form of the free rear area 56 that is convex upward of the sheet 21 is formed. The leg 65, which is held by the free portion 35 and extends upward of the seat 21, does not inadvertently fall down, and the free portion 35 can be used to hold the shape of the pocket 69. The article 20C has a pocket 69 that is difficult to close its mouth, and the pocket 69 can reliably accommodate stool.

In the article 20C, a spacer 76 having elastic elasticity in the lateral direction is arranged to be retractable in the pocket 69, and the contraction force of the spacer 76 causes the legs 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 to be placed on the base sheet 21. Since the seat 21 is pulled inward in the lateral direction, the shape of the free rear portion 56 which is convex upward of the seat 21 is held by the spacer 76, and the leg portion 65 extending upward of the seat 21 does not inadvertently fall down. , The shape of the pocket 69 can be reliably maintained by utilizing the contraction force of the spacer 76. Even if the wearer's body pressure is applied to the article 20C in the thickness direction and the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23 and the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 are crushed, the spacer 76 is released when the body pressure is released. Because the fixed front area 43 becomes convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20C and the free rear area 56 becomes convex upward in the base sheet 21 due to the elastic force of, the pocket is again between the sheet 21 and the free rear area 56. 69 is formed.

In the article 20C, the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is fixed to the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 in the vicinity of the bending guide portion 81, and the free portion 35 uses the free rear region 56 of the base sheet 21 as the base sheet 21. Since the free rear area 56 is bent at the bending guide portion 81 as it is lifted upward, the free rear area 56 is surely bent at the guide portion 81. In the article 20C, the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide portion 81, so that the free rear region 56 is located between the legs 65 and the guide portion 81 located on both sides of the guide portion 81. The leg 65 is easily raised above the base seat 21, the free rear area 56 is easily convex above the seat 21, and the seat 21 and the second panel 24 are free. A pocket 69 can be reliably formed between the region 56 and the region 56.

In the article 20C, the central portion 66 is bent upward of the second panel 24 at the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56, and the central portion 66 at the inner end portion 64 is from the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leakproof sheet 22. Since it extends upward, the central part 66 bent while wearing the article 20C is firmly attached between the wearer's genitals and the anus, and the central part 66 is a barrier separating the wearer's genitals and the anus. To form. In Article 20C, the central part 66 is in close contact with the wearer's genitals and anus, so that urine and stool can be reliably separated, and the mixture of urine and stool causes the wearer's skin. Dirt can be reliably prevented.

In the article 20C, since the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 extends upward from the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, the upper surface of the second panel 24 (liquid permeable sheet). Even if the urine diffusing (upper surface of 52) flows toward the bilateral region 57, the urine flow is blocked by the apical portion 38, and lateral leakage of urine from the bilateral region 57 can be prevented. In the article 20C, since the central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 located above the apex portion 38 comes into contact with the wearer's skin before the apex portion 38, the apex portion 38 should lie down laterally of the article 20C. No, the apex 38 does not lose its function as a barrier to urine. In Article 20C, the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 forms a barrier against urine, so that the urine that diffuses the upper surface of the first panel 23 (the upper surface of the liquid-permeable sheet 40) is directed toward both side portions 32 of the base sheet 21. Even if it flows, the flow of urine is blocked by the free portion 35, and lateral leakage of urine from both side portions 32 can be prevented.

In the article 20C, since the inner end portion 70 of the first panel 23 is located below the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 and extends into the pocket 69, urine penetrates the second panel 24 and pockets 69. Even if it leaks to the pocket 69, urine and stool can be absorbed and held by the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the urine and stool can be prevented from being mixed in the pocket 69. In the article 20C, the first and second panels 23 and 24 do not overlap in the front and rear waist circumference 27,29, and the panels 23 and 24 do not become bulky, so that there is no discomfort with the worn article 20C.

In article 20C, the lateral dimension of the spacer 76 when contracted is in the range of 20-93% of the lateral dimension L1 between the side edges 61 of the core 54 forming the second panel 24. The lateral dimension of the spacer 76 when contracted is preferably in the range of 50 to 80% with respect to the lateral dimension L1.

In Article 20C, the lateral elongation stress of the spacer 76 including the elastic member 77 at 100 to 250% elongation is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 N. If the elongation stress of the spacer 76 is less than 0.5 N, the contraction force of the spacer 76 cannot sufficiently pull the leg 65 of the free rear region 56 inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21, and the extension stress of the spacer 76 is slightly in the thickness direction of the article 20C. The free rear region 56 may be easily crushed and the pocket 69 may close its mouth just by applying a large amount of body pressure. When the elongation stress of the spacer 76 exceeds 1.5 N, the inseam area 28 contracts inward in the lateral direction due to the contraction force of the spacer 76, and the base sheet 21 and the first panel 23 are fixed in the front area 43 and the second panel 24. A large number of irregular gathers were formed in the free posterior region 56 of the body, which not only failed to retain the morphology of the pocket 69, but also reduced the fluid absorption function of the first and second panels 23 and 24 in the inseam region 28. , Inseam area 28 cannot absorb urine and stool sufficiently. Since the extension stress of the spacer 76 is in the above range, the article 20C can reliably hold the shape of the pocket 69 formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, and the inseam. The fluid absorption function of the first and second panels 23 and 24 in region 28 is not reduced. The method for measuring the elongation stress of the spacer 76 is the same as that in FIG.

In Article 20C, the lateral rigidity value of the free rear region 56 (including the core 54) of the second panel 24 including the bending guide 81 is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 mN, and the bending guide 81 is excluded. The rigidity value of the free rear region 56 (including the core 54) of the 2 panel 24 is in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 mN. When the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 including the folding guide portion 81 exceeds 1.5 mN, the free rear region 56 is difficult to bend at the bending guide portion 81, and the leg portion 65 is difficult to stand above the base sheet 21. When the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 excluding the folding guide portion 81 is less than 1.0 mN, the free rear region 56 contracts inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 due to the contraction force of the spacer 76, and the shape of the pocket 69 is changed. Can't hold. When the rigidity value of the free rear region 56 excluding the folding guide 81 exceeds 2.0 mN, the flexibility of the second panel 24 decreases, and the second panel 24 that comes into contact with the wearer's skin causes an unpleasant stimulus to the wearer. May be given. The rigidity values of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 were measured in accordance with the Gale method (JIS L 1096-01-8.20.1). The measurement method is the same as that in FIG.

13 and 14 are a perspective view of the worn article 20D shown as another example, and a partially fractured plan view of the article 20D of FIG. 13 shown from the side of the first and second panels 23 and 24, and FIGS. Is a cross-sectional view taken along the line 15-15 in FIG. 13 and a cross-sectional view taken along the line 16-16 in FIG. In FIGS. 13 and 14, the horizontal direction is indicated by an arrow L, the vertical direction is indicated by an arrow M, and the thickness direction is indicated by an arrow N (only in FIG. 13). FIG. 14 shows the article 20D in a state of being unfolded in the vertical and horizontal directions against the contraction force of the elastic members 33, 37, 77.

Article 20D includes a liquid-impermeable base sheet 21, a pair of impermeable and leak-proof sheets 22 arranged inside the sheet 21 and extending in the vertical direction, and body fluids arranged inside the sheet 21 and arranged in the vertical direction. It is identical to article 20A in FIG. 1 in that it is composed of absorbent first and second panels 23, 24. This article 20D differs from that of FIG. 1 in that a spacer 76 extending laterally is arranged in the pocket 69, and bending guides 81, 82 are formed in the first and second panels 23, 24. Point, the thickness dimension of the leg portion 65 and the central portion 66 in the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56 is larger than that of the remainder of the free rear region 56 excluding the inner end portion 64, and the other configurations are shown in the figure. Since it is the same as the article 20A of No. 1, the same reference numerals as those of the article 20A of FIG. 1 are added, and the description of other configurations is omitted.

In the pocket 69, a spacer 76 having elastic elasticity in the lateral direction is arranged so as to be retractable. The spacer 76 is formed of a water-permeable sheet 78 to which a plurality of elastic elastic members 77 extending in the lateral direction are contractably attached so as to be separated by a predetermined dimension in the vertical direction. The elastic member 77 is fixed to the sheet 78 in a state of being stretched to a predetermined magnification in the lateral direction. The spacer 76 has a fixed end portion 79 fixed near the lower end of the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56, and a free intermediate portion 80 extending between the fixed end portions 79. The legs 65 of the free rear region 56 are pulled inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 by the contraction force of the spacer 76.

In the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23, a pair of bending guide portions 82 extending in the vertical direction separated by a predetermined dimension in the horizontal direction are formed. The folding guides 82 are fixed by drawing an arc in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 so that the distance from each other gradually increases from the inner end portion 70 of the fixed front region 43 toward the side of the fixed rear region 44. On the side of the rear region 44, it reaches the bilateral region 45. In the first panel 23, both side areas 45 are pulled laterally inward of the base sheet 21 by the contraction force of the spacer 76, the fixed front area 43 is bent via the bending guide 82, and the fixed front area 43 is the seat 21. At the same time, an arc is drawn so as to be convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20D.

A pair of bending guides 81 extending in the vertical direction are formed between the legs 65 and the central portion 66 in the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 with a predetermined dimension in the horizontal direction. The bent guide portion 81 is fixed by drawing an arc in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21 so that the distance between the bent guide portions 81 gradually increases from the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56 toward the side of the fixed front region 55. It reaches both sides 57 on the side of the front 55. The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide 81.

The density, basis weight, and thickness of the cores 42, 54 in the bent guides 81, 82 are smaller than those of the cores 42, 54 excluding the guides 81, 82. Therefore, the rigidity of the first and second panels 23,24 in the bent guides 81,82 is lower than that of the first and second panels 23,24 excluding the guides 81,82. The bending guide portions 81 and 82 may be formed only of the liquid permeable sheets 40, 52, 53 and the impermeable sheet 41 excluding the cores 42 and 54. The folding guide 82 may vertically traverse the first panel 23. The folding guide 81 may vertically traverse the free rear region 56.

The legs 65 of the free rear region 56 extend upward from the base seat 21 and form an arc so as to be convex upward of the seat 21. The central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 is arced so as to be convex upward of the leg portion 65. At the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56, the thickness dimension of the leg portion 65 and the central portion 66 is larger than that of the remainder of the free rear region 56 excluding the inner end portion 64. A part of the leg portion 65 is fixed to a central portion 39 located on the side of the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 in the vicinity of the bending guide portion 81. At the legs 65, the outer surface of the liquid permeable sheet 52 is fixed to the leak-proof sheet 22 via an adhesive 67.

The central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 has a maximum height dimension N1 from the lower end 68 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 to the maximum height dimension N1 from the lower end 68 to the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22. Larger than N2 (see Figure 16). The central portion 66 of the inner end portion 64 extends upward from the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 and is located above the top portion 38. The top 38 extends above the legs 65.

The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide portion 81, the leg portion 65 is pulled inward in the lateral direction by the spacer 76, and the free portion of the leak-proof sheet 22 is further provided. It is lifted above the seat 21 by 35. A pocket 69 is formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, which opens from the inseam region 28 toward the rear waist circumference region 29. The pocket 69 is formed in the approximately front half of the inseam area 28. The inner end portion 70 of the first panel 23 is located below the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 and extends into the pocket 69, and together with the base sheet 21, protrudes downward in the thickness direction of the article 20D to form the pocket 69. Is forming.

The procedure for wearing the article 20D is the same as that in FIG. 1, so the description thereof will be omitted. In Article 20D, the urine excreted in the front waist area 27 and the front half of the inseam area 28 during its wearing is absorbed and held by the core 54 of the second panel 24, and the rear half of the inseam area 28 and the rear waist area. The stool excreted in 29 is absorbed and held in the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the stool that has flowed toward the front waist circumference 27 is stored in the pocket 69.

Article 20D has a pocket 69 formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24, which opens from the inseam area 28 toward the rear waist circumference area 29, so that the inseam area 28 and the rear body are formed. Even if the stool excreted in the circumference area 29 flows toward the front waist circumference area 27, the stool can be stored in the pocket 69. In Article 20D, urine is absorbed and held in the second panel 24, stool is absorbed and held in the first panel 23, and is stored in the pocket 69, so that urine and stool can be separated, and urine and stool can be separated. It is possible to prevent the wearer's skin from becoming dirty due to the mixture of urine. The article 20D is arced so that the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23 is convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20D together with the base sheet 21, so that the stool in the pocket 69 is compared with the article 20A in FIG. It has a large storage volume and can store a large amount of excreted stool in the pocket 69.

In the article 20D, since the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is lifted above the base sheet 21 by the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22, the form of the free rear region 56 that is convex upward of the seat 21 is formed. The leg 65, which is held by the free portion 35 and extends upward of the seat 21, does not inadvertently fall down, and the free portion 35 can be used to hold the shape of the pocket 69. The article 20D has a pocket 69 that is difficult to close its mouth, and the pocket 69 can reliably accommodate stool.

In the article 20D, a spacer 76 having elastic elasticity in the lateral direction is arranged so as to be retractable in the pocket 69, and the contraction force of the spacer 76 causes the legs 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 to be placed on the base sheet 21. Since the seat 21 is pulled inward in the lateral direction, the shape of the free rear portion 56 which is convex upward of the seat 21 is held by the spacer 76, and the leg portion 65 extending upward of the seat 21 does not inadvertently fall down. , The shape of the pocket 69 can be reliably held by utilizing the contraction force of the spacer 76. Even if the wearer's body pressure is applied to the article 20D in the thickness direction and the fixed front area 43 of the first panel 23 and the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 are crushed, the spacer 76 is released when the body pressure is released. Due to the elastic force of, the fixed front area 43 becomes convex downward in the thickness direction of the article 20D, and the free rear area 56 becomes convex upward of the base sheet 21, so that the pocket is again between the seat 21 and the free rear area 56. 69 is formed.

In the article 20D, the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is fixed to the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 in the vicinity of the bending guide portion 81, and the free portion 35 uses the free rear region 56 of the base sheet 21 as the base sheet 21. Since the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is bent at the bending guide portion 81 as it is lifted upward, the free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 is surely bent at the guide portion 81. In the article 20D, the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 is bent via the bending guide portion 81, so that the free rear region 56 is located between the legs 65 and the guide portion 81 located on both sides of the guide portion 81. The leg 65 is easily raised above the base seat 21, the free rear area 56 is easily convex above the seat 21, and the seat 21 and the second panel 24 are free. A pocket 69 can be reliably formed between the region 56 and the region 56.

In the article 20D, the thickness dimension of the central portion 66 at the inner end portion 64 of the free rear region 56 is larger than that of the remainder of the free rear region 56 excluding the inner end portion 64, and the central portion 66 at the inner end portion 64 is leakproof. As it extends upward from the top 38 of the free portion 35 of the seat 22, the central portion 66 is firmly in close contact between the wearer's genitals and anus while wearing the article 20D, and the center at the inner end portion 64. Part 66 forms a barrier separating the wearer's genitals from the anus. In Article 20D, the central part 66 is in close contact with the wearer's genitals and anus, so that urine and stool can be reliably separated, and the mixture of urine and stool causes the wearer's skin. Dirt can be reliably prevented.

In the article 20D, since the top portion 38 of the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 extends upward from the leg portion 65 of the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, the upper surface of the second panel 24 (liquid permeable sheet). Even if the urine diffusing (upper surface of 52) flows toward the bilateral region 57, the urine flow is blocked by the apex 38 of the free portion 35, and lateral leakage of urine from the bilateral region 57 can be prevented. In the article 20D, the central portion 66 of the free rear region 56 located above the apex portion 38 of the leak-proof sheet 22 comes into contact with the wearer's skin before the apex portion 38, so that the apex portion 38 is on the side of the article 20D. It does not lie down in the direction and the apex 38 does not lose its function as a barrier to urine. In Article 20D, the free portion 35 of the leak-proof sheet 22 forms a barrier against urine, so that the urine that diffuses the upper surface of the first panel 23 (the upper surface of the liquid-permeable sheet 40) is directed toward both side portions 32 of the base sheet 21. Even if it flows, the flow of urine is blocked by the free portion 35, and lateral leakage of urine from both side portions 32 can be prevented.

In the article 20D, since the inner end portion 70 of the first panel 23 is located below the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24 and extends into the pocket 69, urine penetrates the second panel 24 and pockets 69. Even if it leaks to the pocket 69, urine and stool can be absorbed and held by the core 42 of the first panel 23, and the urine and stool can be prevented from being mixed in the pocket 69. In the article 20D, the first and second panels 23 and 24 do not overlap in the front and rear waist circumference 27,29, and the panels 23 and 24 do not become bulky, so that there is no discomfort with the worn article 20D.

In article 20D, the contracted lateral dimension of the spacer 76 is in the range of 20-93% of the lateral dimension L1 between the side edges 61 of the core 52 forming the second panel 24. The lateral dimension of the spacer 76 when contracted is preferably in the range of 50 to 80% with respect to the lateral dimension L1.

In Article 20D, the lateral elongation stress of the spacer 76 including the elastic member 77 at 100 to 250% elongation is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 N. If the elongation stress of the spacer 76 is less than 0.5 N, the contraction force of the spacer 76 cannot sufficiently pull the leg 65 of the free rear region 56 inward in the lateral direction of the base sheet 21, and the extension stress of the spacer 76 is slightly in the thickness direction of the article 20D. The free rear area 56 of the second panel 24 may be easily crushed by a large amount of body pressure, and the pocket 69 may close its mouth. When the elongation stress of the spacer 76 exceeds 1.5 N, the inseam area 28 contracts inward in the lateral direction due to the contraction force of the spacer 76, and the base sheet 21 and the first panel 23 are fixed in the front area 43 and the second panel 24. A large number of irregular gathers were formed in the free posterior region 56 of the body, which not only failed to retain the morphology of the pocket 69, but also reduced the fluid absorption function of the first and second panels 23 and 24 in the inseam region 28. , Inseam area 28 cannot absorb urine and stool sufficiently. Since the extension stress of the spacer 76 is in the above range, the article 20D can reliably hold the shape of the pocket 69 formed between the base sheet 21 and the free rear region 56 of the second panel 24, and the inseam. The fluid absorption function of the first and second panels 23 and 24 in region 28 is not reduced. The method for measuring the elongation stress of the spacer 76 is the same as that in FIG.

In Article 20D, the lateral rigidity value of the free rear region 56 (including the core 54) of the second panel 24 including the bending guide 81 is in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 mN, and the bending guide 81 is excluded.
