Abstract

An absorbent article (1) has a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction that are orthogonal to each other in an unfolded state, and comprises a liquid-absorbing absorbent core (10). The absorbent article is characterized by having, on the skin-side surface, a joining means (30, 30') that can be joined to a part of the absorbent article (1) upon disposal. When the joining means is divided equally into three parts, namely, a first adjacent region (L1), a central region (Lc), and a second adjacent region (L2) either in the longitudinal direction or in the width direction, the joining force of the first adjacent region (L1) or the second adjacent region (L2) is weaker than the joining force of the central region (Lc).

[Problem] To improve, for an absorbent body having a highly absorbent polymer, fitting when being worn while maintaining thinness thereof. [Solution] This absorbent body has a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction that are orthogonal to each other, and comprises: a base material sheet; and a highly absorbent polymer laminated on the base material sheet. The absorbent body has a high basis weight region in which the basis weight of the highly absorbent polymer is higher than that in the surroundings. The high basis weight region is disposed such that points having the maximum thickness in the thickness direction are intermittently positioned in the longitudinal direction and in the width direction. The maximum thickness is within 3 mm. The distance between adjacent points having the maximum thickness is five times or less of the maximum thickness.

[Problem] To easily manufacture a superabsorbent polymer-containing absorbent body (SAP sheet) that is kept thin and ensures a good fit when worn. [Solution] Provided is a method for manufacturing a superabsorbent polymer-containing absorbent body, the method including: a conveyance step for conveying a substrate sheet with one surface of the substrate sheet being supported by a support member; and a particle supply step for supplying superabsorbent polymer particles toward the other surface of the substrate sheet. The support member has a plurality of openings. In a plan view, the diameter of an incircle inscribed in each opening is equal to or greater than the average particle diameter of the superabsorbent polymer particles. In the particle supply step, the substrate sheet is drawn by suction through the openings from the side of the one surface of the substrate sheet.

Abstract

An absorbent sheet according to one embodiment comprises a body part that has a water-permeable front surface sheet, a back surface sheet that is on the reverse side from the front surface sheet, and an absorption body that is between the front surface sheet and the back surface sheet. The absorption body has an absorbent core that includes thermoplastic resin fibers. The thermoplastic resin fiber fraction of the entire absorbent core is at least 30% by weight ratio. When a load of 3.0 kg has been applied for 10 minutes from the thickness direction to the body part as folded along a folding line that crosses the absorbent core and divides the body part into a first portion and a second portion and then the first portion is lifted perpendicularly, the second portion naturally separates from the first portion, and the angle formed between the first portion and the second portion is at least 145°.

Abstract

The present invention suppresses a failure where a take-out port cannot be formed in a sheet package in which a take-out port is opened by partially peeling a label. This sheet package (2) has a bag body (20) and a label (100) that is attached to the bag body. The label has a first resin layer (104), a silicon layer (105), a first adhesive layer (106), a second resin layer (107), and a cutting part (110) that forms a label opening (125). The cutting part is not formed in the first resin layer and is formed in the second resin layer. A part of the second resin layer is separated by means of the cutting part, and the label opening (125) is formed. The label has a first region (R1) that extends to the downstream side from the upstream edge of the cutting part, and a second region (R2) that extends to the downstream side from the downstream edge of the cutting part. The silicon layer and the first adhesive layer are provided in the first region and the second region. The basis weight of silicon in the first region is lower than the basis weight of silicon in the second region.

Abstract

Provided is an absorbent article that includes an absorber containing an absorbent core enclosed in a core wrap sheet of crepe paper, and that makes it possible to achieve both improvement of rewet by increasing liquid diffusibility in a plane direction in the core wrap sheet and suppression of breakage of the core wrap sheet. The absorbent article (1) is provided with an absorber 11. The absorber includes an absorbent core (11a), a skin-side core wrap sheet (11b1) positioned on the skin side in the thickness direction of the absorbent core, and a non-skin-side core wrap sheet (11b2) positioned on the non-skin side in the thickness direction of the absorbent core. The skin-side core wrap sheet and the non-skin-side core wrap sheet are composed of crepe paper having unevenness. The degree of unevenness of the skin-side core wrap sheet is smaller than the degree of unevenness of the non-skin-side core wrap sheet.

Abstract

Provided is a face mask storage body that makes it possible to smoothly take out each of a plurality of sheet parts constituting a face mask impregnated with a skin care agent. The face mask storage body (100) has a face mask (1) impregnated with a skin care agent, and a main storage body (30) in which the face mask is stored. The face mask has a first sheet part (11), and a second sheet part (12) formed to be separable from the first sheet part by means of a severance part (15). The face mask is provided with: a first non-overlapping region (21), which is a region of the first sheet part that does not overlap the second sheet part in the thickness direction in a folded state; and a second non-overlapping region (22), which is a region of the second sheet part that does not overlap the first sheet part in the thickness direction in the folded state.
