Description

  The present invention relates to an absorbent article for fecal incontinence, and more particularly to an absorbent article adapted for mild fecal incontinence.

  A decrease in anal muscle function may cause a small amount of soft feces to be excreted unconsciously or unintentionally. This small amount of soft stool contains a lot of moisture. In order to cope with such fecal incontinence, an absorbent article for fecal incontinence is known (Patent Document 1).

  U.S. Patent No. 6,057,031 discloses a device for treating accidental bowel leakage (ABL), also known as fecal incontinence. This device for treating fecal incontinence has a body liner that absorbs and retains accidental anal discharge. The body liner is constituted by a substantially flat sheet having a body facing surface and a rear surface opposite the body facing surface. The main body liner includes an adhesive region on the body-facing surface of the main body liner.

  In use, the main body liner is folded along a crack (crack of the buttock) and disposed in the crack (see, for example, FIG. 1F of Patent Document 1). At this time, the body-facing surface of the main body liner is in close contact with the user's skin (buttock). The adhesion area provided on the body-facing surface of the main body liner brings the main body liner into close contact with the user's skin.

Special table 2015-513302 gazette

  Regarding the device described in Patent Document 1, the inventors of the present application have found the following problems. That is, if the main body liner is placed in a crack and is in close contact with the user's skin (buttock), the main body liner (device) may be misaligned or blown away by the movement or radiating of the user. There are things to do.

  Moreover, since a contact | adherence area | region contacts a user's skin, a user's comfort may be reduced. In particular, when the adhesion region of the main body liner is contaminated with feces, the skin of the user may be stimulated by stimulating both the adhesive and the feces.

  Therefore, an absorbent article for fecal incontinence that can reduce irritation to the skin while suppressing misalignment during use is desired.

  The absorbent article for fecal incontinence according to one aspect is attached to a wearing article to be worn on the lower half of the user. The absorbent article for fecal incontinence has a main body part that is opposed to the user's anus during use and is arranged behind the narrowest position of the crotch of the wearing article, and the main body part is the skin of the user A surface facing the surface, a back surface opposite to the front surface, an adhesive provided on the back surface of the main body, and a fold extending from one end to the other end of the main body. The trace is formed in a valley fold as viewed from the surface.

(1) Outline of Embodiments At least the following matters will become apparent from the description of the present specification and the accompanying drawings.

  An absorbent article for fecal incontinence according to one aspect is an absorbent article for fecal incontinence attached to a wearing article attached to a lower body of a user, facing the user's anus at the time of use, and the wearing article A main body portion disposed behind the narrowest position of the crotch, wherein the main body portion has a surface facing the user's skin, a back surface opposite to the front surface, and the back surface of the main body portion. And a fold extending from one end to the other end of the main body, and the fold is formed in a valley fold when viewed from the surface.

  The absorbent article for fecal incontinence according to this aspect is arranged so that the main body portion faces the user's anus during use. At this time, the absorbent article can be attached to a wearing article worn by a user such as underwear by an adhesive provided on the back surface of the main body. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide an adhesive material on the surface of the main body (the surface facing the user's skin), the stimulation given to the wearer's skin can be reduced.

  After using the absorbent article for fecal incontinence, the user can fold the main body portion based on the fold formed in the valley fold. Thereby, feces adhering to the main body, that is, feces containing a large amount of water discharged from the anus are hidden inside the main body. Therefore, it can suppress that feces adhere to a hand at the time of disposal of an absorptive article.

  Further, the surface of the main body comes into contact with the user's skin during use. At this time, the absorbent article for fecal incontinence according to the present aspect is arranged so that the fold of the main body part faces the anus. This fold is formed in a valley fold as viewed from the surface of the main body. Since the surface of the main body is a surface directed toward the user's skin, the main body bends away from the user's skin at the fold. That is, a gap is generated between the user's skin and the main body at the fold. Since this fold extends from one end of the main body to the other end, the gap between the user's skin and the main body extends from one end of the main body to the other end. When the user releases in this state, the bag passes through the gap between the user's skin and the main body to the outside of the main body. Thus, since the air escape route like a cocoon is formed, it is possible to prevent the absorbent article for fecal incontinence from being displaced or blown away by the user's release.

  According to a preferred aspect, the absorbent article for fecal incontinence has an elastic member that contracts the main body portion in a crossing direction intersecting a direction in which the folding mark extends, and the elastic member includes the folding mark. Extending in the crossing direction.

  By contracting the main body portion in the crossing direction by the elastic member straddling the fold mark, the main body portion tends to be bent with the fold mark as a base point during use. Thereby, the escape route of the air between a user's skin and a main-body part is formed more firmly. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the absorbent article for fecal incontinence from being displaced or blown away by the user's release.

  According to a preferred aspect, the fold is shifted to one side with respect to the center of the main body in the crossing direction intersecting the direction in which the fold extends.

  As described above, the feces incontinence absorbent article according to this aspect is disposed so that the fold of the main body part faces the anus. Therefore, stool adheres to the fold of the main body portion and the periphery thereof. Since this fold is shifted to one side from the center of the main body in the crossing direction, feces are unlikely to adhere to the end of the main body farther from the fold. Therefore, the user can remove the absorbent article from the wearing article by pinching the end located farther than the place where feces are attached, that is, the end that is cleaner.

  Moreover, after removing the absorbent article for stool incontinence from the wearing article, the user can easily fold the absorbent article based on the folding mark so as to cover the stool. At this time, when the absorbent article is folded in a state where the end of the absorbent article far from the fold is picked by hand, the surface of the end of the absorbent article closer to the fold is far from the fold. It is hard to hit the hand that picks the end of the direction. In this way, the user can discard the absorbent article while avoiding touching feces as much as possible.

  Here, the user often removes the absorbent article from the worn article while sitting on a table such as a Western-style toilet seat. In this case, when the worn article is lowered from the waist to the vicinity of the feet, the crotch (inseam portion) of the worn article tends to spread in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the user can easily visually recognize the crotch of the wearing article. In the feces incontinence absorbent article according to the present aspect, the region in front of the fold is located at a position close to the crotch of the wearing article or the crotch. Therefore, the user can easily grasp the front end of the main body when removing the absorbent article from the worn article. In consideration of such circumstances, when the fold mark is arranged along the width direction intersecting the front-rear direction along the direction in which the user's crack extends in use, the fold mark is It is preferable that it is located behind the center.

  According to a preferred aspect, the pressure-sensitive adhesive material is disposed at least in a region overlapping with the fold.

  Since the adhesive material is disposed in the region overlapping the fold mark, the rigidity of the region of the main body portion where the fold mark is disposed is increased. Thereby, a fold mark can be attached firmly to a main-body part, and the escape route of the air between a user's skin and a main-body part is formed more firmly. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent the absorbent article for fecal incontinence from being displaced or blown away by the user's release.

  According to a preferred aspect, the adhesive material extends in a predetermined direction, and the amount of the adhesive material at one end portion in the predetermined direction is smaller than the amount of the adhesive material at the other end portion in the predetermined direction.

  The end portion with the smaller amount of the adhesive material has a lower adhesive force to the worn article. Therefore, when removing the absorbent article from the worn article, the main body can be easily removed by peeling the main body from the worn article toward the end having the larger amount of the adhesive material from the end portion having the smaller amount of the adhesive material. The part can be removed.

  According to a preferred aspect, in use, the fold is disposed along a width direction intersecting a front-rear direction along a direction in which a user's crack extends, and the main body along the direction in which the fold extends. The length of decreases monotonously toward the front side of the fold.

  A wearing article such as underwear has a width that becomes narrower from the region facing the anus toward the crotch. Here, the absorbent article for fecal incontinence according to this aspect is arranged so that the fold of the main body part faces the anus. The length of the main body along the direction in which the fold extends extends monotonously as it goes to the front side of the fold. That is, the main body has a width that becomes narrower toward the crotch of the wearing article such as underwear with the fold as a base point. Therefore, the absorbent article for fecal incontinence can be prevented from protruding from the wearing article such as underwear.

(2) Configuration of Absorbent Article Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description of the drawings, the same or similar parts are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. However, it should be noted that the drawings are schematic and ratios of dimensions and the like may differ from actual ones. Therefore, specific dimensions and the like should be determined in consideration of the following description. Moreover, the part from which the relationship and ratio of a mutual dimension differ also in between drawings may be contained.

The present invention relates to an absorbent article for fecal incontinence. Here, fecal incontinence can be classified into the following four as an example.
1. Stress stool incontinence A small amount of soft stool leaks from the anus when force is applied to the abdomen.
2. Imminent stool incontinence Sudden constipation can result in inability to endure defecation and stool leakage (diarrhea).
3. Overflowing stool incontinence Stool overflows due to accumulation of stools.
4). Functional stool incontinence The stool leaks because it is difficult to determine and operate the bowel movement, such as when you do not know the location of the toilet or you cannot walk to the toilet.

  The present invention relates to an absorbent article particularly adapted to stress stool incontinence among the above four categories. That is, the absorbent article for fecal incontinence is adapted to a small amount of soft feces containing a large amount of water discharged from the user's anus, for example, feces of less than 5 cc.

  FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an absorbent article for fecal incontinence according to one embodiment. FIG. 2 is a plan view of the absorbent article as seen from the side opposite to the surface facing the user's skin. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the absorbent article taken along line QQ in FIG. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the absorbent article along the line P-P in FIG. 2. FIG. 5 is a plan view showing a state in which an individual packaging sheet for wrapping the absorbent article is opened. FIG. 6 is a plan view of the absorbent article with the individual packaging sheet closed. FIG. 7 is a view showing a state in which an absorbent article for fecal incontinence is attached to a wearing article worn by a user. FIG. 8 is a rear view of a user wearing a wearing article to which an absorbent article for fecal incontinence is attached.

  Absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence according to this embodiment is attached to wearing article S that is worn on the lower body of the user (see also FIGS. 5 and 6). Here, the wearing article S worn by the user may be underwear such as shorts, for example. Alternatively, the wearing article worn by the user may be a disposable diaper that can be worn by the user.

  The feces incontinence absorbent article 10 has a front-rear direction L along a direction in which a user's crack extends during use, a width direction W orthogonal to the front-rear direction L, and a thickness direction.

  The absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence has a main body 20 that faces the user's anus during use. The main-body part 20 has the surface which faces a user's skin, and the back surface on the opposite side to the said surface. The main-body part 20 is arrange | positioned back rather than the narrowest position of the crotch of the wearing article S at the time of use (refer FIG.5 and FIG.6).

  The main body portion 20 includes an adhesive material 42 provided on the back surface of the main body portion 20. The adhesive material 42 may be provided in a region overlapping with the absorber 30 in the thickness direction. The adhesive material 42 is provided to fix the absorbent article 10 to the wearing article S worn by the user during use. The adhesive 42 may be arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line Q passing through the center of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L, and is arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line P passing through the center of the main body 20 in the width direction W. Also good.

  The main body 20 may include a front surface sheet 26, a back surface sheet 27, and an absorbent body 30 between the surface sheet 26 and the back sheet 27. Further, a leakproof sheet 28 may be provided between the back sheet 27 and the absorber 30. The leak-proof sheet 28 may be composed of a liquid-impermeable sheet. Examples of the liquid-impermeable sheet include a liquid-impermeable film and a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric.

  The top sheet 26 may be composed of a liquid permeable sheet. For example, the surface sheet 26 can be formed from a nonwoven fabric, a porous plastic film, or a laminate sheet obtained by laminating them. The top sheet 26 may be joined to the back sheet 27 by, for example, an adhesive 52 outside the absorber 30.

  The absorbent body 30 may include an absorbent core 31 and a core wrap sheet 32. The absorptive core 31 can be comprised by the mixture of a wood pulp or superabsorbent polymer particle (SAP), for example. The core wrap sheet 32 encloses the absorbent core 31. The core wrap sheet 32 may be formed of tissue paper or non-woven fabric.

  The back sheet 27 may have a larger dimension in the width direction W than the leak-proof sheet 28. The back sheet 27 has a pair of bent portions 27a formed by bending inward the portions of the back sheet 27 that extend from both side edges of the leak-proof sheet 28 in the width direction W. It's okay. An elastic member 51 may be provided on the pair of bent portions 27a. The elastic member 51 can be formed by, for example, one or a plurality of elastic yarns.

  The elastic member 51 may be attached to the back sheet 27 in a stretched state. A plurality of gathers may be formed in the main body portion 20 by the contracting action of the elastic member 51.

  The adhesive material 42 is covered with a separator 70 before the absorbent article 10 is used. The separator 70 is configured to prevent deterioration of the adhesive force of the adhesive material 42 and to be easily peeled from the adhesive material 42. Separator 70 is removed from main part 20 at the time of use. FIG. 2 shows the absorbent article 10 with the separator 70 peeled off.

  The feces incontinence absorbent article 10 according to the present embodiment is arranged so that the main body portion 20 faces the user's anus during use (see FIG. 8). At this time, the absorbent article 10 can be attached to the wearing article S worn by the user such as underwear by the adhesive material 42 provided on the back surface of the main body portion 20. Therefore, since it is not necessary to provide the adhesive material 42 on the surface of the main body 20 (the surface facing the user's skin), the stimulation given to the wearer's skin can be reduced.

  Furthermore, the main body 20 has a folding mark FL extending from one end of the main body 20 to the other end. In the present embodiment, the folding mark FL extends from one end 23 of the main body 20 to the other end 24 in the width direction W. This fold FL is formed in a valley fold as viewed from the surface side. That is, the fold FL is a crease that bends the main body 20 in a direction in which the top sheets 26 are brought closer to each other. Thereby, the part of the folding mark FL of the main-body part 20 is dented so that it may leave | separate from skin seeing from a user's skin side at the time of use.

  The fold FL may be formed by a fold line for folding the absorbent article 10 during packaging. As a specific example, the absorbent article 10 may be wrapped by the individual wrapping sheet 200 during packaging (see FIG. 6). The individual packaging sheet 200 is disposed on the back side of the absorbent article 10 to which the separator 70 is attached in the unfolded state.

  In the example shown in FIG. 5, one end 200 a of the individual packaging sheet 200 extends to the front side from the front end portion 21 of the absorbent article 10. On the other hand, the other end 200 b of the individual wrapping sheet 200 does not extend to the rear end 22 of the absorbent article 10.

  The absorbent article 10 and the individual packaging sheet 200 are folded based on the fold FL (first fold line) so that the absorbent article 10 is disposed inside the individual packaging sheet 200. At this time, the absorbent article 10 is folded so that the topsheets 26 face each other. Thereafter, the individual packaging sheet 200 is further folded at a second fold line FL2 that passes only through the individual packaging sheet 200, whereby the absorbent article 10 is wrapped by the individual packaging sheet 200 as shown in FIG. In this state, both sides (both sides) of the individual packaging sheet 200 in the width direction W may be sealed by, for example, thermocompression bonding to form the sealing portion 202.

  In the case of an absorbent article adapted for mild fecal incontinence (pressure stool incontinence), the user prefers not to be aware of others wearing the absorbent article. Therefore, the size of the main body 20 is preferably as small as possible as long as fecal leakage can be prevented. The length of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L may be about 100 mm to 140 mm. By setting the length of the main body portion 20 in the front-rear direction L to 100 mm or more, it is possible to suppress stool containing moisture from leaking outward from the edge of the main body portion 20 in the front-rear direction L. Moreover, by making the length of the main body part 20 in the front-rear direction L 140 mm or less, the main body part 20 can be disposed within the range of the crack, thereby reducing the uncomfortable feeling of wearing given to the user. it can.

  The length of the main body 20 in the width direction W may be about 90 mm to 130 mm. By setting the length of the main body portion 20 in the width direction W to 90 mm or more, it is possible to suppress stool containing moisture from leaking outward from the edge of the main body portion 20 in the width direction W. By setting the length of the main body 20 in the width direction W to 130 mm or less, the main body 20 can be arranged at a position facing the user's anus without the main body 20 protruding from the wearing article. Specifically, when the length of the main body portion 20 in the width direction W exceeds 130 mm, the user tries to arrange the main body portion 20 so as not to protrude from the worn article. That is, the main body 20 may be attached to a region above the position where the main body 20 is originally attached (position facing the anus). By setting the length of the main body 20 in the width direction W to 130 mm or less, the main body 20 can be easily installed at a more appropriate position.

  The thickness of the main body 20 may be about 2 mm to 5 mm. If the thickness of the main body portion 20 is too thin, the skin of the main body portion 20 and the skin may be rubbed by the user's action, and as a result, the position of the absorbent article 10 may be displaced. By setting the thickness of the main body portion 20 to 2 mm or more, it is possible to suppress the positional deviation of the main body portion 20 due to the user's operation. Moreover, it can make it inconspicuous that the absorbent article is mounted | worn by the thickness of the main-body part 20 being 5 mm or less.

  In the present embodiment, the main body 20 has a generally circular shape when viewed from the surface (see FIG. 2). Alternatively, the main body 20 may be generally triangular when viewed from the surface.

  When the fold mark FL is arranged along the width direction W in use, the length of the main body 20 along the direction in which the fold mark FL extends monotonously decreases toward the front side of the fold mark FL. Is preferred. Here, “decreasing monotonously” means that there is no portion that increases toward the front side. Therefore, there may be a region having a constant width toward the front side.

  The wearing article S such as underwear has a width that becomes narrower from the region facing the anus toward the crotch (inseam). Here, the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence according to the present aspect is arranged such that the fold FL of the main body 20 faces the anus. When the length of the main body portion 20 along the direction in which the fold mark FL extends monotonously decreases toward the front side of the fold mark FL, the main body portion 20 is a wearing article such as underwear with the fold mark FL as a base point. The width becomes narrower toward the crotch of S. Therefore, the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence can be prevented from protruding from the wearing article S such as underwear.

  When the folding mark FL is arranged along the width direction W during use, the longest length of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L is the length of the main body 20 along the width direction W at the position of the folding mark FL. It is preferably 1.0 times or more and 1.4 times or less. In addition, the longest length of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L is 1.0 times or more and 1.3 times or less of the length of the main body 20 along the width direction W at the position of the folding mark FL. More preferred.

  By shortening the length of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L, it is possible to reduce the user's uncomfortable feeling caused by the absorbent article for fecal incontinence. Moreover, the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence according to this aspect is disposed so that the fold FL of the main body 20 faces the anus. When stool adheres to the main body portion 20 due to slight stool incontinence, the stool slightly spreads in a substantially circular shape from the center. Therefore, in the absorbent article 10 for mild fecal incontinence, the length of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L is sufficient.

  When the folding mark FL is arranged along the width direction W during use, the length of the main body 20 along the direction in which the folding mark FL extends monotonously decreases toward the rear side of the folding mark FL. It is preferable. In this case, the size of the main body 20 can be made as small as possible.

  When the fold mark FL is arranged along the width direction W during use, the fold mark FL may be arranged at the longest part in which the length of the main body 20 in the width direction is the longest.

  The user can fold the main body 20 based on the fold FL formed in the valley fold after using the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence. Thereby, the stool adhering to the main body part 20, that is, the stool containing a large amount of water discharged from the anus is hidden inside the main body part 20. Therefore, it can suppress that feces adhere to a hand at the time of disposal of an absorptive article.

  Moreover, the surface of the main-body part 20 touches a user's skin at the time of use. At this time, the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence according to this aspect is disposed so that the fold FL of the main body 20 faces the anus. The fold FL is formed in a valley fold when viewed from the surface of the main body portion 20. Since the surface of the main body portion 20 is a surface directed toward the user's skin side, the main body portion 20 bends away from the user's skin at the fold FL. That is, a gap is formed between the user's skin and the main body 20 at the fold FL. Since the fold FL extends from one end of the main body 20 to the other end, the gap between the user's skin and the main body 20 extends from one end of the main body 20 to the other end. When the user releases in this state, the heel passes through the gap between the user's skin and the main body 20 to the outside of the main body 20. Thus, since the escape route of air like a sputum is formed, it can suppress that the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence shifts or blows away by a user's release.

  In addition, as for the absorbent article 10 which concerns on this embodiment, it is preferable that the folding mark FL is formed along the width direction W. FIG. In other words, the absorbent article 10 is preferably attached to the wearing article S so that the fold FL formed on the main body portion 20 is along the direction intersecting the direction in which the wearer's crack extends.

  The folding mark FL is shifted to one side from the center of the main body 20 in the intersecting direction (corresponding to the front-rear direction L in the present embodiment, the same applies hereinafter) intersecting the direction in which the folding mark FL extends. The folding mark FL is preferably shifted to the front side or the rear side from the center line Q passing through the center of the main body 20 in the front-rear direction L, and more preferably to the rear side.

  As described above, the feces incontinence absorbent article 10 according to this aspect is disposed such that the fold FL of the main body 20 faces the anus. Therefore, the stool adheres to the fold FL of the main body 20 and the periphery thereof. Since the fold FL is shifted to one side from the center of the main body 20 in the crossing direction, feces are difficult to adhere to the end of the main body 20 farther from the fold FL. Therefore, the user can remove the absorbent article 10 from the wearing article S by pinching the end located farther than the place where feces are attached, that is, the end that is cleaner.

  Moreover, after removing the absorbent article 10 for stool incontinence from the wearing article S, the user can easily fold the absorbent article 10 based on the fold FL so as to cover the stool. At this time, when the absorbent article 10 is folded in a state where the end of the absorbent article 10 far from the fold FL is manually picked, the surface of the end of the absorbent article 10 closer to the fold FL is It is difficult to hit the end far from the fold FL. Thus, the user can discard the absorbent article 10 while avoiding touching feces as much as possible.

  Furthermore, the user often removes the absorbent article from the wearing article S while sitting on a table such as a Western-style toilet seat. In this case, when the worn article S is lowered from around the waist to the vicinity of the feet, the crotch portion (inseam portion) of the worn article S tends to spread in the horizontal direction (see FIG. 7). Therefore, the user can easily visually recognize the crotch of the wearing article S. In the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence according to this aspect, the region in front of the folding mark FL is arranged at a position close to the crotch of the wearing article S or the crotch (see FIG. 7). Therefore, when the user removes the absorbent article 10 from the wearing article S, the user can easily grasp the front end portion of the main body 20. In consideration of such circumstances, when the fold FL is arranged along the width direction W during use, the fold FL is preferably located on the rear side of the center of the main body in the front-rear direction L. .

  From the viewpoint of forming an escape path for the user's heel, the fold FL is preferably arranged as close to the center line Q as possible. For example, the distance between the fold FL and the center line Q may be less than 1 cm, for example.

  It is preferable that the adhesive material 42 is disposed at least in a region overlapping with the folding mark FL. In the present embodiment, a plurality of adhesive materials 42 arranged at intervals in the width direction W extend along the front-rear direction L across the fold FL. Instead of this, a plurality of adhesive materials 42 arranged at intervals in the front-rear direction L may extend along the width direction W. Further, the adhesive material 42 may extend along a direction inclined from the front-rear direction L and the width direction W. Even in these cases, it is preferable that at least a part of the plurality of adhesive materials 42 is disposed in a region overlapping with the fold FL.

  When the adhesive material 42 is disposed in a region overlapping with the fold FL, the rigidity of the region of the main body 20 where the fold FL is disposed is increased. Thereby, the fold mark FL can be firmly attached to the main body portion 20, and the air escape path between the user's skin and the main body portion 20 is more firmly formed. Therefore, it can suppress more that the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence shifts or blows away by a user's release.

  In the direction in which the adhesive material 42 extends, the amount of the adhesive material 42 at one end of the adhesive material 42 is preferably smaller than the amount of the adhesive material 42 at the other end of the adhesive material 42. The end portion with the smaller amount of the adhesive material 42 has a lower adhesive force to the wearing article S. Therefore, when removing the absorbent article 10 from the wearing article S, the main body part 20 is peeled from the wearing article from the end with the smaller amount of the adhesive 42 toward the end with the larger amount of the adhesive 42. Thus, the main body 20 can be easily removed.

  The elastic member 51 contracts the main body 20 in a crossing direction that intersects the direction in which the folding mark FL extends, and extends in the crossing direction across the folding mark FL. In the present embodiment, the elastic member 51 is provided on both sides of the main body 20 in the width direction W, and extends along the front-rear direction L across the fold FL.

  By contracting the main body portion 20 with the elastic member 51 straddling the folding mark FL, the main body unit 20 is likely to be bent with the folding mark FL as a base point during use. Thereby, the escape route of the air between a user's skin and the main-body part 20 is formed more firmly. Therefore, it can suppress more that the absorbent article 10 for fecal incontinence shifts or blows away by a user's release.

  The elastic member 51 is preferably formed of an elastic thread of about 480 to 940 dtex, and is attached to the main body 20 in a state of being stretched 1.5 to 2.5 times. Thus, the main-body part 20 can be firmly contracted by making the expansion | extension rate of the elastic member 51 1.5 times or more. Thereby, during use, the absorbent article 10 can be in a bent state with the folding mark FL as a base point so that a sufficient escape path for air (air) can be formed. Moreover, it can suppress that the main-body part 20 bends too much in the crease | fold FL by making the expansion | extension rate of the elastic member 51 2.5 times or less.

  Here, when the elastic member 51 is in a natural state, it is assumed that the expansion ratio of the elastic member 51 is 1.0. Further, the above-mentioned “length” means a length measured in a state where the main body portion 20 is stretched until there is no wrinkle.

  Although the present invention has been described in detail using the above-described embodiments, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. The present invention can be implemented as modified and changed modes without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the description of the scope of claims. Therefore, the description of the present specification is for illustrative purposes and does not have any limiting meaning to the present invention.

  The absorbent article for fecal incontinence which can reduce the irritation | stimulation given to skin, suppressing the position shift in use can be provided.
