Three strand-like or string-like leg elastic members 58 extending in the longitudinal direction Y are provided in an extended state on the outer sides of both lateral edges in the transverse direction X of the leak-proof sheet 29 so as to be contractible. The leg elastic member 58 is attached in an extended state between the barrier sheets 30 and 31 and the back sheet 21 so as to be shrinkable via a hot melt adhesive (not shown). In the illustrated diaper 10, in the lateral direction X, the separation dimension Lc between the leg elastic member 58 and the side edge of the absorbent core 22 is about 25 mm. The leg elastic member 58 is preferably in the range of about 450 to 940 dtex, and the leg elastic member 58 in the illustrated example is about 470 dtex.
The distal edge 57 is provided with two strand-like or string-like barrier elastic members 59 extending in the longitudinal direction Y so as to be contracted. The barrier elastic member 59 is attached between the folded barrier sheets 30 and 31 in a stretched state so as to be shrinkable via a hot melt adhesive (not shown). At the distal edge 57, when the diaper 10 is worn, the barrier sheets 30, 31 are separated from the skin facing surface of the top sheet 20 by the contraction force of the barrier elastic member 59, and body fluid such as urine leaks in the lateral direction X. A pair of barrier cuffs 65 are formed to prevent this (see FIG. 3).
 吸収性コア22は、フラップパルプと超吸水性ポリマー粒子との混合等から形成され、トップシート20とバックシート21との間に介在させてある。吸収性コア22の横方向Yの寸法は、例えば約100mmである。なお、吸収性コア22は、不図示のティッシュペーパー等の拡散シートによって被包してもよい。
 吸収性コア22は、クロッチ域14から前後ウエスト域12、13に縦方向Yに延び、主として尿等の体液を吸収する本体部22aと、前ウエスト域12にのみ設けたコア前端部22bとを備えている。また、この吸収性コア22は、本体部22aとコア前端部22bとの間において横方向Yに延びる折曲案内部24とを備えている。
The absorbent core 22 is formed from a mixture of flap pulp and superabsorbent polymer particles or the like, and is interposed between the top sheet 20 and the back sheet 21. The dimension in the transverse direction Y of the absorbent core 22 is, for example, about 100 mm. The absorbent core 22 may be encapsulated by a diffusion sheet such as tissue paper (not shown).
The absorbent core 22 extends in the longitudinal direction Y from the crotch region 14 to the front and rear waist regions 12 and 13, and includes a main body portion 22a that mainly absorbs body fluids such as urine, and a core front end portion 22b provided only in the front waist region 12. I have. Moreover, this absorptive core 22 is provided with the bending guide part 24 extended in the horizontal direction Y between the main-body part 22a and the core front-end part 22b.
 折曲案内部24は、シャーシ11を展開した状態(図2参照)において、肌対向面から非肌対向面までの厚さを、本体部22aおよびコア前端部22bに比して薄くすることによって形成された凹状の溝である。換言すれば、この折曲案内部24は、本体部22aとコア前端部22bとの間を縦方向Yに連結し、肌対向面から非肌対向面に向かう厚さ方向の寸法を、本体部22aよりも薄くすることによって形成した吸収性コア22の一部である。図1~8に示す折曲案内部24は、肌対向面側に溝が形成され、肌対向面が凹んでいる。
 折曲案内部24は、例えば、吸収性コア22の一部を取り除くことによって形成してある。吸収性コア22の一部を取り除くことによって折曲案内部24を形成した場合、当該部位の剛性が本体部22aおよびコア前端部22bの剛性に比して低下するため、折り曲げが容易となる。
 本体部22aおよびコア前端部22bの両対向縁部24a、24bは、横方向Xにおいて、縦軸Pの近傍が互いに最も近接する一方、縦軸Pから横方向Yに離間するに従って徐々に相互の距離が大きくなる曲状に形成してあるため、対向縁部24a、24bがトップシート20を介して着用者の肌に当接しても、肌に与える刺激を減少することができる。
 図1~8に示す例では、図2に示す前ウエスト域12の縦方向の寸法Ldが約70.0~90.0mmの場合において、折曲案内部24の縦軸Pにおける両対向縁部24a、24bの離間寸法La(図4参照)は、好ましくは約2.0~10.0mm、より好ましくは約5.0~10.0mmである。また、折曲案内部24の横方向Yの両側縁における両対向縁部24a、24bの離間寸法Lb(図4参照)は、例えば約10mm以上であることが好ましく、より好ましくは約25mm以上であることが好ましい。さらに、この例において、コア前端部22bの縦方向Yの寸法Le(図4参照)は、好ましくは約20.0~50.0mmである。
In the state where the chassis 11 is unfolded (see FIG. 2), the bending guide portion 24 is formed by making the thickness from the skin facing surface to the non-skin facing surface thinner than the main body portion 22a and the core front end portion 22b. It is a concave groove formed. In other words, the bending guide portion 24 connects the body portion 22a and the core front end portion 22b in the longitudinal direction Y, and determines the dimension in the thickness direction from the skin facing surface to the non-skin facing surface. It is a part of the absorptive core 22 formed by making it thinner than 22a. 1 to 8, grooves are formed on the skin facing surface side, and the skin facing surface is recessed.
The bending guide part 24 is formed, for example, by removing a part of the absorbent core 22. When the bending guide part 24 is formed by removing a part of the absorbent core 22, the rigidity of the part is lower than the rigidity of the main body part 22a and the core front end part 22b, so that the bending becomes easy.
The opposite edge portions 24a and 24b of the main body portion 22a and the core front end portion 22b are close to each other in the vicinity of the vertical axis P in the horizontal direction X, and gradually move away from each other as the distance from the vertical axis P to the horizontal direction Y increases. Since it forms in the curved shape where distance becomes large, even if the opposing edge parts 24a and 24b contact | abut to a wearer's skin via the top sheet 20, the irritation | stimulation given to skin can be reduced.
In the example shown in FIGS. 1 to 8, when the longitudinal dimension Ld of the front waist region 12 shown in FIG. 2 is about 70.0 to 90.0 mm, both opposing edge portions on the longitudinal axis P of the bending guide portion 24 The separation dimension La (see FIG. 4) of 24a and 24b is preferably about 2.0 to 10.0 mm, more preferably about 5.0 to 10.0 mm. Further, a separation dimension Lb (see FIG. 4) of the opposing edge portions 24a and 24b at both side edges in the lateral direction Y of the bending guide portion 24 is preferably about 10 mm or more, and more preferably about 25 mm or more. Preferably there is. Further, in this example, the dimension Le (see FIG. 4) in the longitudinal direction Y of the core front end portion 22b is preferably about 20.0 to 50.0 mm.
 折曲案内部24は、肌対向面から非肌対向面における厚さ方向において、シャーシ11の非肌対向面に位置する第2ファスニング要素18の下側縁18aと重なる位置に形成してある(図2参照)。

 図5は、おむつ10の第2使用態様を示す図であり、図6は、図5のVI-VI線断面図である。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a second usage mode of the diaper 10, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line VI-VI in FIG.
 図5に示すように、このおむつ10は、前ウエスト域12を折曲案内部24に沿って非肌対向面側に向かって折り曲げてから、第3ファスニング要素45に第1ファスニング要素17を係止し、第2ファスニングシステムを使用することによって、前ウエスト域12をクロッチ域14の非肌対向面に折り重ねた状態でも着用することができる。この場合には、着用者の腹部が露出するため、着用者が未熟児を含む新生児の場合、前ウエスト域12による締め付けによってその複式呼吸が妨げられることはない。特に、新生児の場合には、へそおよびその周辺が十分に成熟しておらず、前ウエスト域12によるわずかな締め付けによっても刺激を与えるおそれがあるが、このおむつ10では、かかる事態を避けることができる。
 加えて、へその下方において、第1ファスニング要素17が第3ファスニング要素45に係合されているため、たとえ前ウエスト域12が着用者の腹部に当接していなくても、下腹部において安定的におむつ10を着用者の身体に固定させることができるとともに、着用中に前ウエスト域12の折曲状態が解かれることはない。
As shown in FIG. 5, the diaper 10 folds the front waist region 12 along the bending guide portion 24 toward the non-skin facing surface side, and then engages the first fastening element 17 with the third fastening element 45. By stopping and using the second fastening system, the front waist region 12 can be worn even when folded over the non-skin facing surface of the crotch region 14. In this case, since the wearer's abdomen is exposed, when the wearer is a newborn baby including a premature baby, the double breathing is not hindered by tightening by the front waist region 12. In particular, in the case of a newborn baby, the navel and its surroundings are not sufficiently matured, and there is a risk of irritation even by slight tightening by the front waist region 12, but in this diaper 10, such a situation can be avoided. it can.
In addition, since the first fastening element 17 is engaged with the third fastening element 45 below the navel, even if the front waist region 12 is not in contact with the wearer's abdomen, the lower abdomen is stable. The diaper 10 can be fixed to the wearer's body, and the bent state of the front waist region 12 is not unraveled during wearing.
 図7は、おむつ10を不図示のパッケージに入れるために折りたたまれていた状態から解放された後における断面図であり、図8は、折曲案内弾性部材60の作用を説明する図である。
 かかるおむつ10では、折曲案内弾性部材60の収縮力によって、パッケージからおむつ10を取り出せば、図7、8に示すように、本体部22aに対してコア前端部22bを非肌対向面側に起立させることができる。よって、着用する前に折曲案内部24が視認できるように前ウエスト域12が折れ曲がる。換言すれば、着用する前に折曲案内部24において簡易的に折り目を付けることができるため、折曲案内部24に沿って前ウエスト域12を確実に折り曲げることができる。しかも、折曲案内部24を設ける位置は、第2ファスニング要素18の位置に合わせる必要がない。
 また、折曲案内部24は、本体部22aとコア前端部22bとの間を縦方向Yに連結し、肌対向面から非肌対向面に向かう厚さ方向の寸法が、吸収性コア22の一部を本体部22aよりも薄くすることによって形成してあるため、本体部22aおよびコア前端部22bのいずれか一方の部位の位置を決定すれば、別の一方の部位の位置も決まるため、位置決めが煩雑になることを防止することができる。
 さらに、折曲案内弾性部材60は、上記厚さ方向において、吸収性コア22よりも非肌対向面側に設けてあるため、前ウエスト域12を非肌対向面側に向けて折り曲げる場合、吸収性コア22が邪魔になることを抑えることができる。

Can stand. Therefore, the front waist region 12 bends so that the bending guide part 24 can be visually recognized before wearing. In other words, the fold guide portion 24 can be easily creased before being worn, so that the front waist region 12 can be reliably bent along the fold guide portion 24. In addition, the position where the bending guide portion 24 is provided need not match the position of the second fastening element 18.
Moreover, the bending guide part 24 connects between the main body part 22a and the core front end part 22b in the vertical direction Y, and the dimension in the thickness direction from the skin facing surface to the non-skin facing surface is Since a part is formed by making it thinner than the main body 22a, if the position of either one of the main body 22a and the core front end 22b is determined, the position of the other one is also determined. It is possible to prevent the positioning from becoming complicated.
Furthermore, since the bending guide elastic member 60 is provided on the non-skin facing surface side with respect to the absorbent core 22 in the thickness direction, it is absorbed when the front waist region 12 is folded toward the non-skin facing surface side. It can suppress that the sex core 22 gets in the way.

As shown in the figure, a hot melt adhesive 70 is provided between the top sheet 20 and the absorbent core 22 to bond them. A hot melt adhesive 71 is provided between the absorbent core 22 and the leak-proof sheet 29 to bond them. A hot melt adhesive 72 is provided between the leak-proof sheet 29 and the back sheet 21 for bonding them.
 図示例のおむつ10Bでは、レッグ弾性部材58Aは、トップシート20と、防漏シート29との間において、ホットメルト接着剤70、71の少なくともいずれか一方を介して収縮可能なように伸長状態でいずれか一方のシート20、29に取り付けてある点のみが上述したおむつ10と異なり、他の点は同一である。 In the illustrated diaper 10 </ b> B, the leg elastic member 58 </ b> A is stretched between the top sheet 20 and the leak-proof sheet 29 so as to be shrinkable via at least one of the hot melt adhesives 70 and 71. Only the point attached to either one of the sheets 20 and 29 is different from the diaper 10 described above, and the other points are the same.
 また、折曲案内弾性部材60Bは、バックシート21と、防漏シート29との間において、折曲案内弾性部材60Bに直接塗布した接着剤によって、いずれか一方のシート21、29に取り付けてある。図示例のおむつ10Bでは、折曲案内弾性部材60Bは、バックシート21に取り付けてある。
 すなわち、このおむつ10Bは、おむつ10に比して、上記厚さ方向において、レッグ弾性部材58Aと折曲案内弾性部材60Bとの位置を変え、かつ、挟持しているシートが異なっている。
Further, the bending guide elastic member 60B is attached to any one of the sheets 21 and 29 with an adhesive directly applied to the bending guide elastic member 60B between the back sheet 21 and the leak-proof sheet 29. . In the illustrated diaper 10 </ b> B, the bending guide elastic member 60 </ b> B is attached to the backsheet 21.
That is, the diaper 10B is different from the diaper 10 in that the positions of the leg elastic member 58A and the bending guide elastic member 60B are changed and the sandwiched sheets are different in the thickness direction.
 図18は、折曲案内弾性部材60Bの作用を説明する図である。
 かかるおむつ10Bでは、折曲案内弾性部材60Bの収縮力によって、パッケージからおむつ10Bを取り出せば、図18に示すように、本体部22aに対してコア前端部22bを非肌対向面側に起立させることができる。よって、着用する前に折曲案内部24が視認できるように前ウエスト域12が折れ曲がる。換言すれば、着用する前に折曲案内部24において簡易的に折り目を付けることができるため、折曲案内部24に沿って前ウエスト域12を確実に折り曲げることができる。また、折曲案内弾性部材60Bの中間部61cは、隣接するシート21、29と非接合としてあるため、中間部61cにおいて折曲案内弾性部材60Bのみ収縮するが、隣接するシート21、29が中間部61cに引っ張られることがない。
FIG. 18 is a diagram for explaining the operation of the bending guide elastic member 60B.
In the diaper 10B, when the diaper 10B is taken out of the package by the contraction force of the bending guide elastic member 60B, the core front end 22b is raised on the non-skin facing surface side with respect to the main body 22a as shown in FIG. be able to. Therefore, the front waist region 12 bends so that the bending guide part 24 can be visually recognized before wearing. In other words, the fold guide portion 24 can be easily creased before being worn, so that the front waist region 12 can be reliably bent along the fold guide portion 24. Further, since the intermediate portion 61c of the bending guide elastic member 60B is not joined to the adjacent sheets 21 and 29, only the bending guide elastic member 60B contracts at the intermediate portion 61c, but the adjacent sheets 21 and 29 are intermediate. It is not pulled by the part 61c.
 図19は、おむつ10Bの前ウエスト域12を非肌対向面に向けて折り曲げた状態を示す図である。図示するように、折曲案内弾性部材60Bは、上端部61aと下端部61bとが厚さ方向に接近することで、中間部61cにおいて、弛んだ状態となっており、収縮力が作用していない。
 前ウエスト域12を非肌対向面に向けて折り曲げ、吸収性コア22よりも非肌対向面側に折曲案内弾性部材60Bを配置し、折曲案内弾性部材60Bの上下端部61a、61bのみをシート21、29に取り付ける一方、中間部61cをシート21、29に非接着とするため、折曲案内弾性部材60Bは縮んだ状態となり、収縮力が作用しない。よって、前ウエスト域12を折り曲げた状態で着用しても、着用した状態では、折曲案内弾性部材60Bの収縮力が作用することを防止して、おむつ10Bが身体からずれることを防止することができる。しかも、着用者がおむつ10Bを装着する時において、折曲部位端部63が折曲案内弾性部材60Bの収縮力により引っ張られて湾曲状になってしまう事を防止することができ、折曲部位端部63が相互に浮き上がることなしに折曲部位端部63が横軸Qとほぼ並行に延びることができるため、予め設定した状態で装着することができる。よって、着用者が装着した状態において、おむつ10Bがずれることを確実に防止することができる。
 加えて、厚さ方向において、レッグ弾性部材58Aと折曲案内弾性部材60Bとの位置を変え、かつ、不図示のホットメルト接着剤によって取り付けるシートを変えているため、弾性部材58A、60Bを取り付けるシートに起因して発生する浮き上がりを抑えることができる。なお、折曲案内部24は、非肌対向面に設けてもよい。
FIG. 19 is a diagram showing a state where the front waist region 12 of the diaper 10B is bent toward the non-skin facing surface. As shown in the figure, the bending guide elastic member 60B is in a slack state in the intermediate portion 61c due to the upper end 61a and the lower end 61b approaching in the thickness direction, and contraction force is acting. Absent.
The front waist region 12 is bent toward the non-skin facing surface, the bending guide elastic member 60B is disposed closer to the non-skin facing surface than the absorbent core 22, and only the upper and lower ends 61a and 61b of the bending guide elastic member 60B Is attached to the sheets 21 and 29, and the intermediate portion 61c is not adhered to the sheets 21 and 29, so that the bending guide elastic member 60B is contracted, and no contraction force acts. Therefore, even if it wears in the state where the front waist region 12 was bent, in the worn state, it prevents that the contraction force of bending guide elastic member 60B acts, and prevents diaper 10B from shifting from a body. Can do. Moreover, when the wearer wears the diaper 10B, the bent portion end 63 can be prevented from being bent due to the contraction force of the bending guide elastic member 60B, and the bent portion can be prevented. Since the bent portion end 63 can extend substantially in parallel with the horizontal axis Q without the ends 63 being lifted from each other, it can be mounted in a preset state. Therefore, in the state where the wearer is wearing, the diaper 10B can be reliably prevented from shifting.
In addition, since the positions of the leg elastic member 58A and the bending guide elastic member 60B are changed in the thickness direction and the sheet to be attached is changed by a hot melt adhesive (not shown), the elastic members 58A and 60B are attached. Lifting caused by the sheet can be suppressed. In addition, you may provide the bending guide part 24 in a non-skin opposing surface.
 なお、この発明は、上述した第1実施形態に限られず、種々の変更を行なうことができる。
 例えば、図1~19に示す例では、折曲案内部24、24Aにおける吸収性コア22の肌対向面から非肌対向面への厚さ方向の寸法を本体部22aの厚さ方向の寸法よりも薄いもので説明した。しかし、この発明はそれに限られず、折曲案内部24、24Aは、折曲案内部24、24Aに相当する部位の吸収性コア22を予め設けないこと、および吸収性コア22の一部を取り除くことによって、吸収性コア22が実質的に存在しないように形成してもよい。吸収性コア22が実質的に存在しないように折曲案内部24、24Aを形成すれば、吸収性コア22が存在しない部位の剛性を低下することができるため、剛性の相違を明確にすることができる。よって、折曲案内弾性部材60、60A、60Bの収縮力を一定に仮定した場合、折曲案内部24、24Aにおける簡易的な折り目を大きくすることができる。
The present invention is not limited to the first embodiment described above, and various changes can be made.
For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 1 to 19, the dimension in the thickness direction from the skin facing surface to the non-skin facing surface of the absorbent core 22 in the bending guide portions 24 and 24A is larger than the dimension in the thickness direction of the main body portion 22a. The explanation was also thin. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the bending guide portions 24 and 24A are not provided with the absorbent core 22 corresponding to the bending guide portions 24 and 24A in advance, and a part of the absorbent core 22 is removed. Thus, the absorbent core 22 may be formed so as not to substantially exist. If the bending guide portions 24 and 24A are formed so that the absorbent core 22 does not substantially exist, the rigidity of the portion where the absorbent core 22 does not exist can be lowered, so that the difference in rigidity is clarified. Can do. Therefore, when the contraction force of the bending guide elastic members 60, 60A, 60B is assumed to be constant, a simple crease in the bending guide portions 24, 24A can be increased.
 図20は、第2実施形態のおむつ10Cを展開した状態において、肌対向面から見た一部破断展開平面図である。図21は、この発明にかかるおむつ10Cの要部を示す図である。
 このおむつ10Cにおいて、上述したおむつ10と同一の構成を有するものには同一の符号を付して説明を省略する。
FIG. 20 is a partially broken developed plan view as seen from the skin facing surface in a state where the diaper 10 </ b> C of the second embodiment is developed. FIG. 21 is a view showing a main part of a diaper 10C according to the present invention.
In this diaper 10 </ b> C, the same reference numerals are given to those having the same configuration as the above-described diaper 10, and description thereof is omitted.
 図示例のおむつ10Cにおいて、縦方向Yにおける前ウエスト域12の長さ寸法12Lは約60mmであり、縦方向Yにおける後ウエスト域13の長さ寸法13Lは約60mmであり、縦方向Yにおけるクロッチ域14の長さ寸法14Lは約240mmである。 In the illustrated diaper 10C, the length 12L of the front waist region 12 in the longitudinal direction Y is about 60 mm, the length 13L of the rear waist region 13 in the longitudinal direction Y is about 60 mm, and the crotch in the longitudinal direction Y The length dimension 14L of the zone 14 is about 240 mm.
 このおむつ10Cのバリヤ弾性部材59Cの下端部C1は、縦方向Yにおいて、本体部22aの対向縁部24bを超えて下方へ延び、かつ溝である折曲案内部24の内部においてさらに下方へ延び、コア前端部22bの対向縁部24aにまで到達する。換言すれば、このバリヤ弾性部材59Cは、展開状態において、折曲案内部24に重なる態様で縦方向Yに延びるものである。
 このバリヤ弾性部材59Cは、その収縮力を作用させることによって、本体部22aに対してコア前端部22bを起立させる弾性部材として機能する。
The lower end portion C1 of the barrier elastic member 59C of the diaper 10C extends in the longitudinal direction Y beyond the opposing edge portion 24b of the main body portion 22a, and further extends downward in the bending guide portion 24 that is a groove. And reaches the opposite edge 24a of the core front end 22b. In other words, the barrier elastic member 59 </ b> C extends in the longitudinal direction Y so as to overlap the bending guide portion 24 in the unfolded state.
The barrier elastic member 59C functions as an elastic member for raising the core front end portion 22b with respect to the main body portion 22a by applying the contraction force.
 バリヤ弾性部材59Cは、約470dtexのストリング状のものを縦軸Pの両側にそれぞれ2本ずつ設けてあり、約2.4倍に伸長させることによって、収縮力が作用するようにバリヤシート30、31に取り付けてある。 The barrier elastic member 59C is provided with two string-like members of about 470 dtex on each side of the longitudinal axis P, and the barrier sheet 30, so that the contraction force acts by extending about 2.4 times. 31 is attached.
 後ウエスト域13において、バリヤシート30、31をトップシート20に取り付ける後固定端部56は、通常のおむつと同様であって、縦方向Yの長さ寸法56Lは60mmである。
 一方、前ウエスト域12において、バリヤシート30、31をトップシート20に取り付ける前固定端部55Cは、上記厚さ方向において、コア前端部22bに重なるように配置してあり、かつ折曲案内部24および本体部22aに重ならないように配置してある。また、この前固定端部55Cは、通常のおむつに比して短くしてあって、縦方向Yの長さ寸法55Lは40mmである。
In the rear waist region 13, the rear fixed end portion 56 for attaching the barrier sheets 30, 31 to the top sheet 20 is the same as a normal diaper, and the length dimension 56L in the longitudinal direction Y is 60 mm.
On the other hand, in the front waist region 12, the front fixed end portion 55C for attaching the barrier sheets 30 and 31 to the top sheet 20 is disposed so as to overlap the core front end portion 22b in the thickness direction, and the bending guide portion. 24 and the main body 22a are arranged so as not to overlap. The front fixed end 55C is shorter than a normal diaper, and the length dimension 55L in the vertical direction Y is 40 mm.
 図22は、おむつ10Cの着用前の状態を示す図である。図示するように、かかるおむつ10Cでは、バリヤ弾性部材59Cの収縮力によってバリヤシート30、31がトップシート20の肌対向面から離間し、尿等の体液の横漏れを防ぐためのバリヤカフ65が形成される。このとき、バリヤ弾性部材59Cの収縮力によって、パッケージからおむつ10Cを取り出せば、本体部22aに対してコア前端部22bを肌対向面側に起立させることができる。よって、着用する前に折曲案内部24が視認できるように前ウエスト域12が肌対向面側に折れ曲がる。換言すれば、着用する前に折曲案内部24において簡易的に折り目を付けることができるため、折曲案内部24に沿って前ウエスト域12を確実に折り曲げることができる。
 しかも、バリヤ弾性部材59Cは、バリヤカフ65を形成するための機能と、簡易的な折り目を形成するため機能とを有するため、上記機能を有する弾性部材を個別に設ける必要がなく、構成を簡単にすることができる。
 加えて、縦方向Yにおいて後固定端部56の長さ寸法55Lより前固定端部55Cの長さ寸法が短いため、簡易的な折り目を大きくすることができる。
 なお、この発明は、上述した第2実施形態に限られず、種々の変更を行なうことができる。例えば、第1実施形態と同様の変形を行なうことができる。
Drawing 22 is a figure showing the state before wearing of diaper 10C. As shown in the figure, in the diaper 10C, the barrier sheets 30 and 31 are separated from the skin-facing surface of the top sheet 20 by the contraction force of the barrier elastic member 59C, and a barrier cuff 65 is formed to prevent side leakage of body fluid such as urine. Is done. At this time, if the diaper 10C is taken out of the package by the contraction force of the barrier elastic member 59C, the core front end portion 22b can be erected on the skin facing surface side with respect to the main body portion 22a. Therefore, the front waist region 12 is bent toward the skin facing surface side so that the bending guide portion 24 can be visually recognized before wearing. In other words, the fold guide portion 24 can be easily creased before being worn, so that the front waist region 12 can be reliably bent along the fold guide portion 24.
In addition, since the barrier elastic member 59C has a function for forming the barrier cuff 65 and a function for forming a simple crease, it is not necessary to separately provide an elastic member having the above function, and the configuration can be simplified. can do.
In addition, since the length dimension of the front fixed end portion 55C is shorter than the length dimension 55L of the rear fixed end portion 56 in the longitudinal direction Y, a simple crease can be increased.
The present invention is not limited to the second embodiment described above, and various modifications can be made. For example, the same modification as that of the first embodiment can be performed.
