Abstract: A disposable sanitary article having elastic members extending to be associated with leg-openings secured under tension to the article along transversely opposite side edge portions of the sanitary article. The transversely opposite side edge portions respectively have first elastic zones extending across a crotch region in the longitudinal direction along a desired length, second elastic zones extending from the first elastic zones into a front waist region along a desired length and third elastic zones extending from the first elastic zones into a rear waist region along a desired length. The sections of the elastic members extending along the second elastic zones and the third elastic zones has values of stretch stress represented by a relationship of the second elastic zones<the third elastic zones or the third elastic zones<the second elastic zones.

Abstract: A disposable pull-on diaper includes a topsheet, a backsheet and an absorbent core disposed therebetween. In any one of front and rear waist regions of the diaper, second elastic members are disposed between the core and the backsheet to extend under tension circumferentially of the waist region and secured to the inner surface of the backsheet only at their portions extending outward beyond transversely opposite side edges.

Abstract: A disposable diaper that includes a topsheet, a backsheet and a core disposed therebetween to define a front waist region, a rear waist region and a crotch region extending therebetween. A first elastic member extends longitudinally of the diaper across a middle zone of the core between the front and rear waist regions and is disposed between the backsheet and the core and secured to the backsheet. Second elastic members extend longitudinally of the diaper across the transversely opposite side zones of the core between the front and rear waist regions and are disposed between the backsheet and the core and bonded to the backsheet.

Abstract: There is disclosed a disposable diaper having a body including a front face portion to be applied to the abdomen of a wearer; an intermediate portion to be applied to the crotch; and a back face portion to be applied to the back, in which a longitudinal direction is taken from the front face portion to the back face portion of the body, and a transverse direction is taken in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The diaper includes a top sheet to be directed toward a liquid receiving side; an outer sheet; and an absorbent core sandwiched between the top sheet and the outer sheet. The top sheet is liquid-permeable at least in a portion for covering a transverse center of the absorbent core and is jointed on two transverse sides directly or indirectly to the outer sheet.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes tape fasteners each having an elastically stretchable/contractile basic tape member and a hook member attached onto an inner surface of the basic tape member. The hook member has inner and outer side edges. and the inner side edge extends towards a proximal end portion of the basic tape member in its transversely middle zone.

Abstract: A disposable diaper is formed on its inner surface approximately in its longitudinally rear half area with a plurality of protuberances extending transversely across this rear half and intermittently arranged longitudinally of the diaper to thereby prevent loose fecal material from flowing forward and from leaking a rear end of the diaper.

Abstract: The disposable pull-on undergarment has first and second waist regions and a crotch region extending between these two waist regions. The waist regions are connected with each other in bonding zones extending along transversely opposite side edge portions thereof so as to define a waist-opening and a pair of leg-openings. First elastic members are bonded under tension to peripheral edge of the waist-opening and second elastic members are bonded under tension to peripheral edges of the leg-openings so that respective opposite ends of the first elastic members are positioned and fixed at first zones defined immediately inside the bonding zones in a circumferential direction of the waist-opening and respective opposite ends of the second elastic members are positioned and fixed at second zones defined immediately inside the bonding zones in a circumferential direction Y of the leg-openings.

Abstract: A pants-type disposable diaper includes a pants-type outer cover and an absorbent pad attached on an inner surface of the outer cover, the outer cover having first elastic members which circumferentially extend in the vicinity of a waist-opening of the outer cover and second elastic members which circumferentially extend in the vicinity of the uppermost points of a pair of leg-opening of the outer cover, the pad having an elongate pad body provided with a pair of barrier cuffs, the barrier cuffs having third elastic member at distal edges of the barrier cuff and fourth elastic members between the distal edges and proximal edges of the barrier cuffs, the fourth elastic member intersecting the second elastic members in front and rear waist regions of the outer cover.

Abstract: A disposable sanitary article having elastic members extending to be associated with leg-openings secured under tension to the article along transversely opposite side edge portions of the sanitary article. The transversely opposite side edge portions respectively have first elastic zones extending across a crotch region in the longitudinal direction along a desired length, second elastic zones extending from the first elastic zones into a front waist region along a desired length and third elastic zones extending from the first elastic zones into a rear waist region along a desired length. The sections of the elastic members extending along the second elastic zones and the third elastic zones has values of stretch stress represented by a relationship of the second elastic zones<the third elastic zones or the third elastic zones<the second elastic zones.

Abstract: A disposable diaper includes a topsheet, a backsheet and a core disposed therebetween to define a front waist region, a rear waist region and a crotch region extending therebetween, a first elastic member extending longitudinally of the diaper across a middle zone of the core between the front and rear waist regions is disposed between the backsheet and the core and secured to the backsheet and second elastic members extending longitudinally of the diaper across the transversely opposite side zones of the core, respectively, between the front and rear waist regions are disposed between the backsheet and the core and bonded to the backsheet.

Abstract: Training pants having a front region, a rear region and a crotch region therebetween includes a liquid-permeable topsheet, a liquid-impermeable backsheet and an absorbent core disposed therebetween, and the topsheet has a liquid-permeability lower in a transversely middle zone of the crotch region than in transversely opposite side zones, and thereby the pants can give a wearer a feeling of wetness even if the pants have slipped down.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wiping sheet composed of two pieces of spunlace nonwoven fabrics containing heat-shrinkable fiber which are fusion-bonded together with fusion-bonding lines which extend in the cross direction perpendicular to the machine direction. The fusion-bonding lines are formed such that their pitch in the machine direction is shorter than one half of the fiber length so that each fusion-bonding line intersects a single fiber at 3 or more points. This structure prevents surface fluffing and imparts a high surface frictional strength and a high bending resistance for comfortable wiping work.

Abstract: An absorbent core 4 composed of a nonwoven fabric containing an absorbent fiber at 20% by weight or more to 80% by weight or less and a hydrophobic fiber at 20% by weight or more to 80% by weight or less is interposed between a top sheet 3 and a bottom sheet 5, both the sheets being composed of a nonwoven fabric containing an absorbent fiber, such as rayon, at 30% by weight or more to 70% by weight or less and a hydrophobic fiber at 30% by weight or more to 70% by weight or less. Then, the top sheet 3, the absorbent core 4 and the bottom sheet 5 are bonded together on bonding lines 2. These individual layers are water retentive because of the absorbent fiber therein, and the resulting sheet has good slip properties because of the hydrophobic fiber contained therein. The absorbent core 4 works to enhance the bending resistance.
