Abstract: An absorbent article has a top layer, a bottom layer, an absorbent core and a pair of leak-barrier walls. Each leak-barrier wall has a proximal wall section, a first elastic overhang section extending outward in a transverse direction from around the upper end of the proximal wall section, and a second elastic overhang section formed below the first overhang section so as to extend outward in the transverse direction from around the upper end of the proximal wall section. The second overhang section has a stiffness higher than that of the first overhang section.

Abstract: An absorbent article is provided that is likely to be in close contact with user's body.

Abstract: An absorbent article having an absorbent body capable following movement of the wear's body. An auxiliary pad is a pad used along with a base absorbent body and has a pad side absorbent body as a pad side absorption layer, a surface side layer as a liquid permeable surface side sheet placed on one side in the thickness direction of the pad side absorption section, and pad side engagement sections as engagement means placed on the other side of the pad side absorption section.

Abstract: Provided is an absorptive article having absorption elements capable of following the body of a user. This absorptive article (1) comprises a generally rectangular base absorption element (2), a top absorption element (3) disposed on one surface of the base absorption element (2) at substantially lateral center of the base absorption element (2) and along the longitudinal direction of the base absorption element (2), and a fixing part (4) for fixing the base absorption element (2) to the top absorption element (3) so that at least one end of the top absorption element (3) in the longitudinal direction thereof is made to be a free end (31). A temporary locking part (5) for restricting the movement of the top absorption element (3) is provided on the top absorption element (3) near a free end part (32) thereof at least before application of the absorptive article to the body of the user.

Abstract: An absorbent article that is worn by a user, including: a main body section of the absorbent article; an absorbent body that includes an absorbent member absorbing liquid, that has a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction, that is superposed on a user side of the main body section, whose one end section of the longitudinal direction is joined to the main body section at a first joined section, and whose another end section of the longitudinal direction is joined to the main body section at a second joined section; and a restricting member that is disposed between the first joined section and the second joined section in the longitudinal direction, and that restricts relative shifting between the main body section and the absorbent body when the main body section and the absorbent body that are superposed are folded.

Abstract: The invention provides an absorbent article that can be easily worn. This absorbent article is an absorbent article that is worn by a user, comprising: a main body section of the absorbent article; and an absorbent body that has an absorbent member absorbing fluid, that has a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction, that is superposed on a face of the main body section on a user side, whose one end section in the longitudinal direction is joined to the main body section on a first joined section, and whose another end section in the longitudinal direction is joined to the main body section on a second joined section, wherein a length of the absorbent body between the first joined section and the second joined section is equal to or more than a length of the main body section between the first joined section and the second joined section.

Abstract: To provide an absorbent article or the like including an absorbent body with a large absorption capacity and that is easy to place in the buttocks or the like.

Abstract: The invention provides an absorbent article that is small and that can be easily worn by a user and a method for producing the absorbent article. The absorbent article that is used in abutment against a user's body includes: an absorbent body for absorbing fluid; and an absorbent-article main body whose face on a side close to the user's body in use is joined to the absorbent body. The absorbent body has a longitudinal direction, a width direction, and a thickness direction. One end section of the absorbent body in the longitudinal direction is undetachably joined to the absorbent-article main body, and another end section of the absorbent body in the longitudinal direction is detachably joined to a portion inside an outer edge of the absorbent-article main body. The absorbent body has a non-joined section that is not joined to the absorbent-article main body, between the joined section on a side close to the other end section and the outer edge of the absorbent-article main body.

Abstract: The invention includes an absorbent article 1 in which an undergarment 90 can be prevented from getting dirty with fluid that has been absorbed by an absorbent body 20, without a decrease in the amount of fluid that can be absorbed.

Abstract: Provided is an absorptive article having absorption elements capable of following the body of a user. This absorptive article comprises a generally rectangular base absorption element, a top absorption element disposed on one surface of the base absorption element at substantially lateral center of the base absorption element and along the longitudinal direction of the base absorption element, and a fixing part for fixing the base absorption element to the top absorption element so that at least one end of the top absorption element in the longitudinal direction thereof is made to be a free end. The flexural rigidity and the compression hardness of the top absorption element are set within appropriate ranges, respectively.

Abstract: Provided is an absorptive article having absorption elements capable of following the wearer's body of a user. This absorptive article comprises at least a generally rectangular base absorption element, a top absorption element disposed on one surface of the base absorption element at substantially lateral center of the base absorbent and along the longitudinal direction of the base absorbent, and a fixing part for fixing the base absorption element to the top absorption element so that at least one end of the top absorption element in the longitudinal direction thereof is made to be a free end. A locking part is provided on the base absorption element side contact surface of the top absorption element near the free end. The locking part is locked to the base absorption element at a position where the top absorption element is so moved as to extend along the gluteal cleft of the user.
