  Moreover, the present invention is characterized in that the top sheet is provided with a sticking means for sticking to the clothes when worn.

In the male incontinence pad according to the present invention, the top sheet and the back sheet are folded back so that the back sheet is inside at the center in each long side direction, and the long side edges of the top sheet and the back sheet are joined. Therefore, the back sheets are opposed to each other, and a bag-like form is formed in which a storage portion having an opening is formed at the end opposite to the central folded portion. In the present invention, the stretchable filamentous body is in a tension state, in the vicinity of the center portion in the long side direction of the top sheet and the back sheet, in the vicinity of the other end portion in the long side direction of the top sheet and the back sheet, and in the top sheet and back surface By interposing at least three places between the central portion in the long-side direction of the sheet and the intermediate portion between the other end portions in the long-side direction , the filamentous bodies are formed in the third region of the top sheet and the fourth portion of the back sheet. Since the region is contracted in the short side direction, the first region of the top sheet and the second region of the back sheet are curved so as to bulge outward. As a result, the opening portion and the storage portion are held in a form having a gap between the opposing backsheets and having a curved inner surface. Can be easily inserted into the storage portion through the opening. Since the dimension in the short side direction is shortened by the filamentous body, it does not hinder the user from walking in the wearing state.

  One back sheet constituting the storage portion has an inner surface that is curved, and the other back sheet is shrunk by a thread-like body interposed between the back sheet and the stretched sheet.

A filamentous body 4. The top sheet 1 is made of a sheet material having liquid impermeability and air permeability. The back sheet 2 is made of a sheet material having liquid permeability and air permeability, and the edge part 2 a is joined to the edge part 1 a of the surface sheet 1 while being stacked on the surface sheet 1. In addition, in this example, the long side direction both ends 1b and 1d of the surface sheet 1 and the long side direction both ends 2b and 2d of the back surface sheet 2 are a pair of parts 7a and 7b for realizing the flap part 7 mentioned later. is there.

  The absorbent body 3 including the fluff-like fibers is formed in the long-side direction of the back sheet 2 facing the first region A1 and the first region A1 between the long-side end 1b and the long-side central portion 1c of the top sheet 1. It is interposed between the one end portion 2b and the second region A2 between the long side direction center portion 2c. The thickness of the absorber 3 is set in a range of 2 to 15 mm, preferably 5 to 10 mm. Accordingly, a certain degree of rigidity can be imparted to the absorbent body 3 and shape retention can be imparted to the incontinence pad P.

  The water absorption capacity of the absorbent body 3 is preferably set so that the amount of water absorbed by the physiological saline is about 20 to 180 cc. If the water-absorbing polymer is used in combination with the fluffy fibers, the water absorption capacity of the absorbent body 3 can be further increased.

  The absorber 3 of this example is provided with a compression part 5 extending in the long side direction. The compression unit 5 has a groove-like structure formed by pressurizing the surface of the absorber 3. By having the compression part 5, the speed at which the absorber 3 sucks up the liquid can be increased. As shown in FIG. 4, it is preferable to compress the thickness t2 of the compression part 5 to 20 to 60% with respect to the thickness t1 of the non-compressed portion 3a in the absorbent body 3. In addition, it can replace with the compression part 5 and can also absorb and take in a liquid directly from the cross section of the absorber 3, and can obtain the effect which increases a water absorption speed also by forming a crack and a cutting | disconnection location in the absorber 3. it can.

  The stretchable filament 4 has a third region A3 between the long side direction other end 1d and the long side direction central portion 1c of the top sheet 1 and the long side direction of the back sheet 2 facing the third region A3. Between the other end portion 2d and the fourth region A4 between the long side direction central portion 2c, it is arranged along the short side direction perpendicular to the long side direction and in a tension state in which tension is applied in the extension direction. Each end portion in the short side direction is interposed between the edge portion 1a of the top sheet 1 and the edge portion 2a of the back sheet 2 so as to be joined. The tension applied to the thread-like body 4 is a tension that causes the thread-like body 4 that is not tensed to stretch to about 1.3 to 3.5 times.

  The filaments 4 are arranged in the vicinity of the long side direction center portions 1c and 2c of the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2, near the other end portions 1d and 2d of the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2, and the long side direction center portion. It is desirable that there are at least three places between 1c and 2 and the other end portions 1d and 2d. In this example, the filament 4 is divided approximately equally between the long side direction central portions 1c, 2c and the other end portions 1d, 2d, and between the long side direction central portions 1c, 2c and the other end portions 1d, 2d. It was arranged in a total of four places, two places divided into two. You may arrange | position the filament 4 to five or more places. The filaments 4 may be arranged one by one, but a plurality of filaments 4 can be arranged by one. As the type of the thread-like body 4, an elastic thread such as a thread rubber or a flat rubber can be used.

  In the following description, the side facing the clothing W in the incontinence pad P may be referred to as the clothing side, and the side facing the user's body may be referred to as the body side. The first region A1 of the top sheet 1 and the second region A2 of the back sheet 2 correspond to the clothing side, and the third region A3 of the top sheet 1 and the fourth region A4 of the back sheet 2 correspond to the body side.

  The incontinence pad P is manufactured by placing the absorbent body 3 on the clothing side between the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2 and applying tension to the body side between the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2. 4 is arranged, the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2 are joined together at the entire periphery, and the absorbent body 3 and the filamentous body 4 are enclosed between the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2. Then, the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2 are folded at the center portions 1c and 2c so that the back sheet 2 is inside, and the opposing long side edge portions 2a of the back sheet 2 are joined to each other, as shown in FIG. Incontinence pads P shown in 3, 5, 6 can be obtained. For example, heat welding or a hot melt adhesive is used for joining the peripheral portions of the topsheet 1 and the backsheet 2 and forming the joint 9 by joining the long side edges 2a of the backsheet 2 together.

  By joining the long side edge portions 1a, 2a of the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2, the folded portion 8 of the central portion 1c, 2c is used as the bottom, and the opening portion 11 is provided on the both end portions 1b, 1d, 2b, 2d side. A bag-shaped storage portion 10 having a slab is formed inside. Moreover, the flap part 7 connected to the opening part 11 is formed by joining the edge part side part 7a of the top sheet 1 and the edge part side part 7b of the back surface sheet 2.

  The incontinence pad P has the outer surface of the surface sheet 1 on which the absorbent body 3 is disposed facing the user's clothes W, and the outer surface of the surface sheet 1 on which the filamentous body 4 is disposed on the user's clothes W. Used towards the body. A sticking means 6 such as a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive tape for sticking to clothes is provided on the outer surface of the top sheet 1 on the clothes side.

  The incontinence pad P is folded at the long side direction central portions 1c and 2c of the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2, and the long side edge portions 1a and 2a of the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2 are joined to each other. It is a bag-like form in which the storage unit 10 is formed. Since the elastic filament 4 interposed in a tensioned state between the third region A3 of the top sheet 1 and the fourth region A4 of the back sheet 2 contracts the body side portion in the short side direction, The first area A1 of the topsheet 1 and the second area A2 of the backsheet 2 are curved so as to bulge outward. As a result, a gap is formed between the opposing backsheets 2, the opening 11 opens in a half-moon shape, and the storage unit 10 is held in a form having a curved inner surface. In addition, the body side portion has a structure in which wrinkles are formed when the filamentous body 4 contracts in the short side direction and an air layer is formed.

  Next, the usage situation of the incontinence pad P will be described with reference to FIGS. First, the user places the incontinence pad P in the crotch and inserts the penis into the storage unit 10 through the opening 11. In the incontinence pad P of this example, the opening 11 is opened in a half-moon shape, and the storage unit 10 is held in a form having a curved inner surface, so that it is easy to insert the penis into the storage unit 10. Next, the user M attaches the incontinence pad P to the clothing W with the attaching means 6 such as a double-sided adhesive tape or hot melt.

  The incontinence pad P storage unit 10 has an inner surface with a curved portion on the clothing side, and the body side portion is given elasticity by the filament 4. Therefore, each inner surface of the opposite back sheet 2 has elasticity and comes into contact with the surface of the inserted penis so as to give a weak elastic force. High sense of stability.

  Further, the shrinkage of the filament 4 reduces the size of the incontinence pad P in the width direction. Therefore, it does not hinder the movement of both legs when the user walks with the incontinence pad P attached to the crotch. In addition, since it is attached to the clothes W by the attaching means 6, even if the user M exercises to change his / her posture or body position or receives vibration, the incontinence pad P may be displaced or the user's It is prevented from falling off the body. Further, the flap portion 7 prevents the edge portion of the incontinence pad P from coming into contact with the body of the user M.

  When the user urinates in the incontinence pad P, the urine passes through the back sheet 2 having liquid permeability and is absorbed by the absorber 3. In this example, since the absorber 3 is curved, contact with urine is reliable. Since the absorbent body 3 is provided with the compression section 5 extending in the long side direction, the compression section 5 exhibits a higher suction effect by capillary action than the surrounding uncompressed region, and urination is absorbed by the entire absorbent body 3. Can diffuse quickly. The stretchable filamentous body 4 contracts the body side portion in the short side direction to produce wrinkles, so that the wet back sheet 2 does not adhere to the skin when urinating and the feeling of touch is improved. The body-side surface of the topsheet 1 has a large number of wrinkles, thereby forming an air layer with the skin surface and improving heat dissipation and moisture permeability. Comfort is obtained.

  Since the liquid-impermeable top sheet 1 is folded at the central part 1c in the long side direction and the long side edge part 1a is joined, the end face of the back sheet 2 and the absorber 3 is not exposed to the outside. Leakage to the outside is prevented. Since both the top sheet 1 and the back sheet 2 are made of a breathable sheet material, stuffiness at the time of wearing is prevented, and discomfort is eliminated.

  As described above, the incontinence pad P of the present example is easy to wear, stable in wearing state, and does not hinder the user's free movement and exerts an effect of giving a good wearing feeling to the user. .
