Abstract: A disposable sanitary garment includes a chassis defining an outer surface thereof, the chassis is provided along its transversely opposite side edge portions destined to extend around a wearer's thighs with a pair of first leg-hole elastic members extending circumferentially around the thighs and with a pair of second leg-hole elastic members describing a circular arc being convex inwardly of the garment. The chassis is folded back inwardly of the garment along one side edges of the respective members with the second leg-hole elastic members inside and a portion of the chassis extending inside the zone along which the chassis has been first folded back is folded back along the other side edges of the respective members.

Abstract: A disposable article for dealing with feces adapted to be used in conjunction with a disposable diaper or diaper cover. The article includes a feces receiving region that is provided in the form of a laminate that includes a top layer provided with at least one opening having an area of 20˜500 mm2, a feces holding layer in the form of a three-dimensional network structure underlying the top layer, a liquid-absorbent layer underlying the holding layer and a liquid-impervious back layer covering a lower surface of the absorbent layer. The laminate has its width progressively reduced toward a front end of the feces receiving pocket and a leakage barrier is formed along transversely opposite side edges of the top layer.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes a basic absorbent batt structure and a supplementary absorbent batt structure placed thereon. Contraction of an elastic member causes transversely opposite side edge regions of the two batt structures, respectively, to be pulled nearer to a longitudinal center line, resulting in that the zone of the former batt structure underlying a distal end portion of the latter batt structure curves downward with respect to a lower surface of the latter batt structure while the distal end portion of the latter batt structure curves upward with respect to a body facing surface of the two batt structures, a pocket opening from a front waist region toward a crotch region.

Abstract: A body waste disposable article adapted to receive feces and/or urine discharged thereon, the article having a body fluids absorbent means above which an opening is formed by a surrounding wall partially covering the body fluids absorbent means and surrounding the opening. The article is longitudinally composed of a front end, a rear end and an intermediate region extending between these two ends. The article is configured so as to have the largest width in its intermediate region.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes a basic absorbent batt structure and a supplementary absorbent batt structure placed on the basic absorbent batt structure. The diaper is formed with a feces receiving space surrounded by the supplementary absorbent batt structure and bottom and side surfaces of a cavity and extending from a crotch region toward a front waist region so that an upper opening of the cavity is partially uncovered in the crotch region 31 and thereby forms a feces inlet leading to the space.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes a basic absorbent batt structure having front and rear waist regions and a crotch region, a pair of barrier cuffs extending along opposite sides of the basic absorbent batt structure and at least one supplementary absorbent batt structure placed on the front waist region of the basic absorbent batt structure between the barrier cuffs. The supplementary absorbent batt structure has a proximal end portion thereof joined to the front waist region of the basic absorbent batt structure and has the vicinity of a distal end portion thereof joined to the vicinities of the barrier cuffs.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article including a liquid-permeable topsheet, which is provided at a desired location of upper and lower surfaces with a stretchable region adapted to be stretchable up- and downward with respect to the upper and lower surface, the region being formed by a plurality of pleats.

Abstract: A body waste disposable article adapted to receive feces and/or urine discharged thereon, the article having a body fluids absorbent means above which an opening is formed by a surrounding wall partially covering the body fluids absorbent means and surrounding the opening. The article is longitudinally composed of a front end, a rear end and an intermediate region extending between these two ends. The article is configured so as to have the largest width in its intermediate region.

Abstract: A disposable diaper is provided with a pair of elastic crotch zone cuffs extending in parallel to each other longitudinally across a front zone, a crotch zone and a rear zone, said cuffs each being bonded along a base thereof as well as at portion of longitudinally opposite end thereof and in proximity thereof base to a topsheet inside transversely opposite side edges of a liquid-absorbent core sandwiched between a topsheet and a backsheet so as to be collapsed inwardly of said diaper and have free side edges thereof folded outwardly onto non-folded portions of the cuffs which have already been collapsed, and longitudinally opposite ends of said free side edges being bonded to the cuffs or to the topsheet.

Abstract: An arrangement of a disposable diaper in which there are provided elastic members extending not only along opposite side edges of an opening formed in a skin-contacting topsheet but also further extending beyond longitudinally opposite ends of the opening substantially to longitudinally opposite ends of the skin-contacting topsheet so that the opening may sufficiently rise up together with the skin-contacting topsheet to assure reliable introduction of excretions through this opening into a pocket space defined between the skin-contacting topsheet and a separately provided topsheet underlying the skin-contacting topsheet.

Abstract: A disposable diaper so improved that an uppermost sheet 14 is formed at its central zone with an opening 16, first and second elastic members 17, 18 are attached to the sheet 14 along halves of the opening's periphery, respectively, with the longitudinally opposite ends of these elastic members intersecting each other at the longitudinally opposite ends of the opening 16, respectively, and the uppermost sheet 14 is torn off from these intersections.

Abstract: A method for forming a skin-contacting topsheet of disposable diaper with an elastic opening, wherein the opening 16 formed in the skin-contacting topsheet of a disposable diaper is elasticized along its whole peripheral edge and reinforced so as to form uniform gathers along the whole peripheral edge.The skin-contacting topsheet comprises a pair of sheet members overlapping side by side and having mutually opposed inner side edges, respectively, which are provided with cutouts so that each pair of mutually opposed cutouts form each opening, then elastic members are provided along halves of the opening's whole peripheral edge and these elastic members are covered with a part of the skin-contacting topsheet.

Abstract: A second topsheet formed with an opening is bonded along its outer periphery to a topsheet of a disposable diaper and there are provided a pair of flaps having inner side edges wrapping therein elastic members, respectively, and outer side portions bonded to an underside of the second topsheet at both sides of the opening 16 so that the pair of flaps 17 define a second opening 18 serving to receive excretion.
